Abstract		Ultrasound, computer tomography, magnetic resonance, are the most often used imaging methods for noninvasive diagnostics and evaluation of the liver lesions. US is the most popular noninvasive method, in which contrast media is mostly not needed, and also negative X-ray efect is not known. Disadvantages are low sensitivity and specificity of the method. CT of the liver is the method of choice for the detection and evaluation of the liver lesions. The accuracy of the method gets higher with the use of the contrast media and its different application methods. MR is used in cases where US and CT are not conclusive in diagnostics. In this review article we describe the role of CT and MR imaging in detection and evaluation of the liver lesions, decision about further therapy and evaluation of the therapeutic success.
Summary		Ultrazvok, računalniška tomografija in magnetna resonanca so najpogosteje uporabljene slikovno preiskovalne tehnike za neinvazivno ugotavljanje in oceno jetrnih tumorjev. UZ je nabolj razširjena neinvazivna metoda, pri kateri ni škodljivega delovanja rentgenskih žarkov in jodnih kontrastnih sredstev. Pomanjkljivost metode je nizka občutljivost in specifičnost le-te. CT jeter je bolj zanesljiva metoda v ugotavljanju in opredeljevanju tumorjev jeter. Natančnost preiskave se poveča z uporabo kontrastnega sredstva z različnimi načini aplikacije. MR preiskava je rezervirana za primere, ko z UZ in CT preiskavam ne moremo rešiti diagnostičnega problema. V preglednem prispevku opisujemo vlogo CT in MR preiskav pri odkrivanju in ugotavljanju razširjenosti tumorjev jeter ter vplivu na izbiro načina zdravljenja in ocene rezultatov zdravljenja.
