Overview
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI uses magnetic fields, which is a different imaging type from computed tomography (CT) to produce detailed images of the body. MRI scans are very helpful when diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma. Sometimes they can be used to distinguish a benign tumor from a cancerous one. Like computed tomography (CT), a contrast agent may be injected into a patient’s vein to create a better picture. MRI scans take a longer time than a CT scan to complete.
