Abstract: Objective To investigate the fat-suppressed sequences in the diagnosis of liver metastases. Methods A retrospective analysis of MRI data was made in 37 patients with primary tumors and liver metastases. Results 201 metastases were found in this 37 patients with T2WI sequence,while 236 metastases were found by STIR sequence. Conclusions STIR sequence could find easily more liver metastases than T2WI sequence.
