Detection of liver metastases under 2 cm: comparison of different acquisition protocols in four row multidetector-CT (MDCT).

This study compared different acquisition protocols performance to detect small liver metastases (<2 cm). Thirty consecutive patients with histologically proven hepatic metastases were explored by MDCT at the liver equilibrium phase by four successive acquisitions. We compared the following protocols (1-4): 5/30/1.
