• The ex vivo MRI-compatible sectioning device provides a reliable method for radiologic-pathologic correlation of small (< 1 cm) liver lesions in human liver specimens. • The sectioning method can be feasibly implemented within a clinical practice setting and used in future efforts to study liver lesion characterization. • Intraoperative administration of gadoxetic acid results in enhancement in ex vivo MRI images of liver specimens hours later with excellent image quality.
