[Abstract] Liver disease is highly prevalent in China. Besides the well-known chronic viral liver disease, increasing incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol liver disease (ALD) has also been well documented in China, which can progress to end-stage liver disease characterized by severe hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and the eventual development of liver cancer. Physicians aimed at decreasing the mortality rate and improving the prognosis of chronic liver disease. Recently, with the update of pulse sequence and renewal of MR scanner, MR has become the irreplaceable modality of detecting liver disease, especially for quantifying fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and differentiating liver tumor, etc. This paper summarized the current status and new development of MRI in the application of liver disease.
