## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)‐enhanced fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery echo‐planar imaging (FLAIR EPI) for malignant liver tumors with that of T2‐weighted turbo spin‐echo (TSE), T2\*‐weighted gradient‐echo (GRE), and diffusion

## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)‐enhanced breathhold T2‐weighted GRASE imaging in detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. ## Materials and Methods In 30 patients (including 20 with cirrhosis) with 39 malignant and 25 benign lesions, gradient‐
## Abstract ## Purpose To prospectively compare single‐shot spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging (SSSE‐EPI) using b = 0, 10, 150, and 400 seconds/mm^2^ with standard MRI techniques after intravenous super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions with foc
## Abstract Forty‐one patients with 61 proved focal liver lesions underwent MRI of the liver at 1.0 T, with the aim of evaluating the usefulness of turbo spin‐echo (TSE) sequences in characterizing focal liver lesions, by comparing them with conventional spin‐echo (CSE) sequences. Two different TSE
