MRI sensitivity: Yes, liver-specific MRI is more sensitive than CT, especially for small or tricky lesions. It’s the best imaging for clarifying uncertain liver masses. Accuracy: High—around 90–95% sensitivity and specificity. Still possible to get false positives or inconclusive results, especially if the mass is small or atypical. Lower-cost options: CT and ultrasound aren’t as accurate. PET-CT might be an option, but it’s often more expensive and less helpful for small liver lesions. If inconclusive: You may need a short-term follow-up MRI or a biopsy, depending on the radiologist’s recommendation and your oncologist’s judgment.
