Objective: to investigate the operating characteristics of contrast MRI of the liver using magnetization transfer effect in the differential diagnosis of hemangiomas and metastatic lesions in comparison with dynamic contrast.Material and methods. The material of the study were dynamic contrast MRI images of 25 patients with diagnosis of direction of focal liver lesion. Inclusion criteria were detection of typical MR-semiotic for hemangioma (n = 10 to 40% of cases) or multiple liver metastases (n = 15 to 60% of cases).In the group with metastases exclusion criteria was the primary detection of obscure single focal lesions, as well as the diagnosis of other primary tumors, in particular cholangiocellular cancer (n = 1). All MRI studies were p...
