Hepatic diseases

During the past few years, progress in diagnostics and therapy of hepatic space-occupying lesions has yielded new options when treating hepatic diseases. In particular the use of MRI to precisely depict the anatomy of hepatic space-occupying lesions in relationship to the anatomical structures of the liver facilitates the exact planning of operations involving complex resection procedures and can help avoid unnecesssary interventions. This book is equally directed at radiologists, family practitioners, internists and surgeons who are active in hospitals and private practices and should provide the interested person with insight into the presently available diagnostic and therapeutic options by simultaneously presentating modern sectional images and intraoperative findings.
