"This book provides a practical approach for imaging of focal and diffuse liver lesions based on state-of-the-art MR and CT imaging sequences, multidetector row CT images, 3D reformatted images, breath-hold MRI sequences, and cutting-edge MR 3T images where appropriate, concise but useful figure legends, relevant and systematic (differential) diagnostic information, the latest references to primary literature and clinical evidence, and patient management possibilities"--Provided by publisher.
