Abstract

Anatomical-based imaging is used widely for the evaluation of diffuse and focal liver, including detection, characterization, and therapy response assessment. However, a limitation of anatomical-based imaging is that structural changes may occur relatively late in a disease process. By applying conventional anatomical-imaging methods in a more functional manner, specific pathophysiologic alterations of the liver may be assessed and quantified. There has been an increasing interest in both the clinical and research settings, with the expectation that functional-imaging techniques may help solve common diagnostic dilemmas that conventional imaging alone cannot. This review considers the most common functional magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging techniques that may be applied to the liver.
