What is a MRI LIVER LAVA(TRIPLE PHASE)-CONTRAST?

MRI Liver LAVA (Triple Phase) – Contrast is an advanced MRI examination that provides high-resolution, triple-phase contrast-enhanced imaging of the liver, helping accurately detect, characterize, and monitor liver tumors, focal liver lesions, vascular abnormalities, and other liver disorders.

FAQs

What is MRI Liver LAVA (Triple Phase) – Contrast?

MRI Liver LAVA (Triple Phase) – Contrast is an advanced MRI examination that uses a gadolinium-based IV contrast agent and the LAVA (Liver Acquisition with Volume Acceleration) technique to obtain high-resolution images of the liver during the arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases of contrast enhancement.

Why is MRI Liver LAVA (Triple Phase) – Contrast performed?

This examination is performed to evaluate liver tumors, focal liver lesions, liver cysts, hemangiomas, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver metastases, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, vascular abnormalities, and other liver disorders.

Can MRI Liver LAVA (Triple Phase) – Contrast detect liver cancer?

Yes. It is one of the most accurate MRI techniques for detecting and evaluating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver metastases, and other liver tumors, helping determine their size, location, and extent.

Can MRI differentiate benign and malignant liver lesions?

Yes. By evaluating the contrast enhancement pattern across the three phases, MRI helps distinguish benign liver lesions (such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia) from malignant tumors.

How is MRI Liver LAVA different from CT Triple Phase?

Both evaluate liver lesions using multiple contrast phases. However, MRI provides superior soft tissue contrast, better lesion characterization, and does not use ionizing radiation, making it particularly valuable for detailed liver assessment.
