Core Tip
Core Tip: Accurate evaluation of liver disease is essential for effective treatment strategies and better patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive diagnostic tool, has become a necessary technique for detecting liver diseases. The advancements in various magnetic resonance techniques have significantly enriched the diagnostic methods for liver diseases, each with a different focus and expertise in examining the liver. This article reviews the principles, advantages, limitations, and clinical applications of these new technologies in the diagnosis of liver disease, providing necessary references for researchers and clinical physicians to enhance the application of MRI in liver disease diagnosis and improve patient prognosis.
