Clin Liver Dis. 2002 Feb;6(1):271-95. doi: 10.1016/s1089-3261(03)00076-x.

Abstract

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of liver lesions have improved therapy for a broad range of clinical conditions, many of which could not be effectively treated in the recent past. These advances are the result of better surgical techniques as well as diagnostic imaging. This article discusses the anatomy of the liver and the clinical evaluation of patients with liver lesions. Common benign and malignant liver lesions are presented with radiologic characteristics and treatment options.
