Assembled from presentations at an International Symposium on Liver Imaging held in June 1990 in Boston, this volume summarizes the recent past and probes the immediate future of the technologically and clinically demanding field of liver imaging. A principal scientific focus is the interface between technologic innovations and their applications to clinical imaging. For the practitioner of body, abdominal, or gastrointestinal imaging there are descriptions of current optimized liver scanning techniques, evolving interpretive criteria, and new pathologic-radiologic insights.
