Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading public health problems globally. Since time is of the essence in oncology, the sooner an accurate diagnosis is made, the better the prognosis for patients. There is a growing need to find a flawless and fast imaging method for cancer detection, but also for its evaluation during treatment. In this respect, the possibilities and novelties of magnetic resonance imaging are particularly promising. Abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) protocols have aroused universal interest as a compromise between scanning time reduction and preservation of image quality. Shorter protocols focused on the detection of suspicious lesions with the most sensitive sequences could provide a diagnostic performance similar to the one of the standard protocol. The purpose of this article is to review the ongoing accomplishments in the use of AMRI protocols in liver metastases and HCC detection.
