USG and magnetic resonance imaging in the preoperative and postoperative management of hepatic lesions: A prospective study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Hepatic lesions are common and require accurate diagnosis for effective management and treatment outcomes. This study compared the diagnostic efficacy and sensitivity of USG and MRI in preoperative and postoperative evaluations of hepatic lesions in 100 patients over 12 months. MRI demonstrated superior sensitivity, particularly for lesions smaller than 2 cm (p < 0.0001) and influenced surgical decision-making in 40% of cases by providing more accurate lesion characterization. Postoperative assessments with MRI were more effective in detecting residual or recurrent disease than USG (p = 0.002). These findings highlight MRI's critical role in surgical planning and comprehensive management of hepatic lesions.
