Review the diferent functional MRI techniques that can be used in the assessment of liver tumors, including their derived biomarkers Highlight the current and potential clinical applications of these techniques

1. Looking at tumor hallmarks with functional MRI techniques Angiogenesis: DCE-MRI, IVIM, BOLD-MRI, ASL Hypoxia: BOLD-MRI Cellularity and necrosis: DWI Apoptosis: DWI Metabolism: MR spectroscopy Elasticity; MR elastography Hepatobiliary function; hepatospecific contrast agents 2. Functional characteristics of benign and malignant liver tumors 3. Clinical applications of functional MRI in malignancies of the liver 4. Multiparametric analysis 5. Conclusions
