Overview
On MRI, characteristic features for the diagnosis of liver mass, include: higher soft tissue contrast, lack of radiation exposure, lesion characterization by evaluation of signal intensities, improving detection of hypervascular lesions, and characterization of the dynamics of contrast uptake.[1]

On MRI, characteristic features for the diagnosis of liver mass, include:
- Higher soft tissue contrast
- Lack of radiation exposure
- Lesion characterization by evaluation of signal intensities
- Improving detection of hypervascular lesions
- Characterization of the dynamics of contrast uptake

MRI is superior to CT in defining tumor margins, vessel involvement and adenopathy. Generally, hypointense.
