[Abstract] Epidemiological survey indicates around 130 million people in China are carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV), nearly half the world total HBV carriers. And about one fourth would progress into chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis or primary liver cancer. Consequently, early prevention and diagnosis is critical for patients of hepatic diseases to improve outcomes and quality of life. As MRI offers a high resolution for the soft tissue, it is capable of localization and qualitative diagnosis for inflammation, edema and carcinomas. In addition, it is sensitive to the changes of metabolites. Therefore, its proper application is of great significance for early diagnosis, outcomes evaluation and following up of liver diseases.
