Staging of hepatocellular carcinoma and introduction to CT-based LI-RADS (Oncologic CT imaging Series – Ep. 4)

Michel Eisenblätter

In this podcast, Prof. Eisenblätter highlights the advantages of CT technology in staging hepatocellular carcinoma. One of the most effective tools for the radiological study of liver lesions, specifically in patients with cirrhosis, is the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS), which provides radiologists with a standardized lexicon and classification system for liver imaging findings. The LI-RADS criteria, with their detailed categorization of lesions , and their relevance for the patient’s follow-up are specifically addressed in this podcast, along with useful suggestions for a clear and detailed radiological report.
