Imaging of Space Occupying Lesions of Liver

چکیده
A space occupying lesion by definition is a discrete abnormality arising within the liver. Space occupying lesions of the liver can be classified into developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory and miscellaneous. Although in some cases, it is difficult to distinguish these entities with imaging criteria alone, certain focal liver lesions have classic ultrasonic, computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features1,2.
