State-of-the-art imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most fatal and fifth most common cancer worldwide, with rising incidence due to obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Imaging modalities, including ultrasound (US), multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play...

Description
Summary:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most fatal and fifth most common cancer worldwide, with rising incidence due to obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Imaging modalities, including ultrasound (US), multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a vital role in detecting HCC characteristics, aiding in early detection, detailed visualization, and accurate differentiation of liver lesions. Liver-specific contrast agents, the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System, and advanced techniques, including diffusion-weighted imaging and artificial intelligence, further enhance diagnostic accuracy. This review emphasizes the significant role of imaging in managing HCC, from diagnosis to treatment assessment, without the need for invasive biopsies.
