Purpose: This study compares the diagnostic efficacy of non-contrast abbreviated MRI protocols with Gadoxetic acid-enhanced abbreviated MRI for detecting colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM), focusing on lesion characterization and surveillance.
Methods: Ninety-four patients, including 55 with pathologically verified CRLM, were enrolled, totaling 422 lesions (287 metastatic, 135 benign). Two independent readers assessed three MRI protocols per patient: Protocol 1 included non-contrast sequences (T2-weighted turbo spin-echo, T1-weighted Dixon, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and ADC mapping).
