The purpose of this exhibit is: - To review the clinical usefulness of commonly used MRI techniques and provide the indication/ limitation for those sequences - To explain the utility of developing MRI techniques and their application in clinical practice - To review common pitfalls and problem solving in interpretration of liver imaging

1. Overview commonly used MRI techniques - In/ opposed-phase images Detection chemical shift cancellation artifact Pronounce T2* and susceptibility artifacts on images with long TE - T2W Multishot T2W (FSE) with respiratory trigger Single shot T2W (ssFSE) - Balanced gradient echo - Pre-and dynamic post contrast 3D-GE T1W/FS - Hepatocyte-specific contrast agent Characterization of focal hepatic lesions Interpretation challenge in cirrhotic nodules 2. Developing MRI techniques - Diffused weighted imaging Qualitative and quantitative assessment Cirrhotic patient for HCC detection and evaluation of response to treatment - High flip-angle Gadoxetic acid imaging
