ABSTRACT
Seventeen patients with 52 surgically proven hepatic metastases were studied preoperatively with dynamic CT and 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR). Dynamic CT detected 38 metastases (73%), and the combination of short echo time (T1-weighted) and T2-weighted pulse sequences detected 46 lesions (88%). Magnetic resonance was also superior at assessing potential resectability. This study suggests that MR excels in detecting and anatomically localizing individual hepatic metastases.
