Overview
An abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. Findings on MRI can not confirm the cause of the liver disease but they are suggestive of underlying liver disease. An MRI can be expensive as an initial choice of diagnostic study and does not yield any advantages when compared to an ultrasound in the setting of alcoholic steatosis.
MRI
An abdominal MRI may be suggestive of underlying liver disease and findings on MRI include:[1][2][3]
- Cirrhosis:
- Enlarged caudate lobe
- Visualization of the right posterior hepatic notch
- Smaller size regenerative nodules
