34 Hepatic Disorders: Colorectal Cancer Metastases, Cirrhosis, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Evidence-Based Imaging

Key Points

State-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be superior to state-of-the-art multidetector computed tomography (CT) for detection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer (insufficient and limited evidence). Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is the most sensitive noninvasive test for detecting liver metastases (limited to moderate evidence). Periodic screening with imaging tests of patients with cirrhosis for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma is beneficial (limited evidence). Magnetic resonance imaging may be superior to CT for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (limited evidence).
