Liver diseases encompass a range of conditions that affect the liver and can impair its function. Common conditions include fatty liver (steatosis), characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells, and cirrhosis, a progressive scarring of liver tissue that severely restricts liver function. Liver metastases and liver cancer are malignant tumors often associated with other types of cancer that can affect the liver. An enlarged liver can indicate various health issues, including inflammation or infections.
An MRI scan provides detailed images that allow for precise identification of changes such as fat deposits, tumors, or scarring in the liver structure. This advanced imaging technique helps assess the severity of the condition more accurately.
