Core Tip

Core Tip: For the detection of colorectal liver metastases, the diagnostic performance of two kinds of abbreviated enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Ab-MRI) protocols was non-inferior to that of the standard protocol. The combination of Ab-MRI and contrast-enhanced computed tomography provided better diagnostic performance than that of Ab-MRI alone.
