Imaging techniques play a crucial role in the diagnosis, staging, surveillance and assessment of the treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An increasingly pivotal role is currently played by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which can simultaneously provide a conclusive diagnosis without the need for histological confirmation and tumor staging, while ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound are limited to surveillance of HCC patients. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the most used liver imaging techniques and the main imaging characteristics of HCC.

Abstract
Imaging techniques play a crucial role in the diagnosis, staging, surveillance and assessment of the treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An increasingly pivotal role is currently played by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which can simultaneously provide a conclusive diagnosis without the need for histological confirmation and tumor staging, while ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound are limited to surveillance of HCC patients. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the most used liver imaging techniques and the main imaging characteristics of HCC.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
