[Abstract] There are some relatively unique signal intensity and enhanced feature on MR imaging of various histological types of hepatic tumors. This paper which summarized the key points of scanning parameters and compared the signal and enhanced feature of common tumors of liver, aimed to help clarify the analytical method and further improve the diagnostic ability of MR imaging on hepatic tumors.
