Comparative imaging study reveals superior extrahepatic tumor detection by MRI over helical CT in cancer patients, indicating enhanced evaluation of peritoneal and bowel metastases.
State-of-the-art MR imaging can be used for effective abdominal screening for extrahepatic tumor in patients with malignancy. Compared with single-phase helical CT, MR imaging depicted more sites of extrahepatic tumor and was particularly advantageous for the peritoneum, mesentery, and bowel.
