The recent introduction of the various imaging modalities including MRI has improved the diagnostic accuracy of metastatic liver tumor. Especially ultrasonography provides useful informations to demonstrate the relation of tumors to surrounding structures. However, at the same time it is still a fact that small lesions frequently escape detection and qualitative diagnosis is also rendered impossible in cases of small liver tumors. Repeated ultrasonographic examination combined with clinical informations is most important and qualitative diagnosis seems accomplishable by a combination of various imaging techniques including ultrasonically guided biopsy.
包括磁共振成像（MRI）在内的各种成像方式的近期引入提高了转移性肝肿瘤的诊断准确性。尤其是超声检查能提供有用信息，以显示肿瘤与周围结构的关系。然而，与此同时，小病灶常常难以被检测到，对于小肝肿瘤病例，定性诊断也无法实现，这仍然是一个事实。反复的超声检查结合临床信息至关重要，通过包括超声引导活检在内的各种成像技术的联合应用，定性诊断似乎是可以实现的。
