Abstract

Background: Accurate characterization of focal liver lesions is a critical component of hepatobiliary imaging, as management strategies and prognosis vary widely between benign and malignant entities. Conventional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relies primarily on morphologic assessment and vascular enhancement patterns; however, a substantial proportion of lesions remainindeterminate, particularly in patients with chronic liver disease or atypical imaging features
