Because the liver is a common site of metastatic spread, effective MR imaging of this organ is critically important for patients with cancer as well as those with chronic liver disease. In this issue of MRI Clinics, editors Khaled Elsayes (MD Anderson Cancer Center) and Claude Sirlin (UC San Diego Health’s Liver Imaging Group) bring their considerable expertise to the topic of MR Imaging of Chronic Liver Diseases and Liver Cancer. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as artificial intelligence, diffuse liver disease, LI-RADS, and hepatocarcinogenesis.
