Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: During the follow-up of FNH specificity of liver MRI improved using liver specific contrast agents. The central scar as well as the pseudocapsule showed different typical contrast uptake using all three methods. CONCLUSION: Serial MRI of the liver with Gd-DOTA, SPIO and Gd-EOB-DTPA can exclude a malignant liver lesion. Liver biopsy of FNH can be avoided with increased specificity of MRI for FNH.
