Chronic Liver Disease and Liver Cancer
Effective communication between radiologists and physicians involved in the management of patients with chronic liver disease is paramount to ensuring appropriate and advantageous incorporation of liver imaging findings into patient care. This review discusses the clinical benefits of innovations in radiology reporting, what information the various stakeholders wish to know from the radiologist, and how radiology can help to ensure the effective communication of findings.

Computed Tomography Techniques, Protocols, Advancements, and Future Directions in Liver Diseases
Computed tomography (CT) is often performed as the initial imaging study for the workup of patients with known or suspected liver disease. Our article reviews liver CT techniques and protocols in clinical practice along with updates on relevant CT advances, including wide-detector CT, radiation dose optimization, and multienergy scanning, that have already shown clinical impact. Particular emphasis is placed on optimizing the late arterial phase of enhancement, which is critical to evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma. We also discuss emerging techniques that may soon influence clinical care. (Source: Magnetic Resonance ...

Abbreviated MR Protocols for Chronic Liver Disease and Liver Cancer
MR imaging has become a powerful tool for assessing liver disease and liver cancer; however, it entails complex, time-consuming, and costly protocols. Abbreviated MR imaging (AMRI) is emerging as a simpler, faster, and low-cost alternative to full-abdominal MR imaging protocols. Different AMRI approaches have been tested successfully in hepatocellular carcinoma detection and for assessment of diffuse liver disease. The most accurate, time-effective, and cost-effective protocol as well as the target population need to be defined. Prospective and multicentric studies, exploring different AMRI protocols versus the current sta...

Role of Ultrasound for Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surveillance
Ultrasound plays a vital role in the evaluation of patients with chronic liver disease and in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in populations at risk for developing HCC. Semiannual ultrasound for HCC surveillance is universally recommended by all liver societies around the world. Advanced ultrasound techniques, such as elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, offer additional benefits in imaging evaluation of chronic liver disease. Major benefits of ultrasound include its high safety profile and relatively low cost. (Source: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America)

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Chronic Liver Diseases
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a safe adjunct tool for liver imaging and can be an alternative to computed tomography or MR imaging. CEUS has a proven track record in guiding management for patients with chronic liver disease who need further evaluation of focal liver lesions. CEUS is a dynamic examination with high temporal and spatial resolution. CEUS uses a pure blood pool contrast agent that allows for a unique evaluation of the perfusion kinetics of a region of interest. (Source: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America)

Hepatocarcinogenesis
This article reviews the causes contributing to the process. Emphasis is made on the imaging manifestations of the pathologic changes seen at many stages of hepatocarcinogenesis, from regenerative nodules to dysplastic nodules and then to hepatocellular carcinoma.

Errors and Misinterpretations in Imaging of Chronic Liver Diseases
MRI is an important problem-solving tool for accurate characterization of liver lesions. Chronic liver disease alters the typical imaging characteristics and complicates liver imaging. Awareness of imaging pitfalls and technical artifacts and ways to mitigate them allows for more accurate and timely diagnosis. (Source: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Nonhepatocellular Malignancies in Chronic Liver Disease
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver malignancy associated with chronic liver disease. Nonhepatocellular malignancies may also arise in the setting of chronic liver disease. The imaging diagnosis of non-HCC malignancies may be challenging. Non-HCC malignancies in patients with chronic liver disease most commonly include intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, and less commonly hepatic lymphomas and metastases. On MR imaging, non-HCC malignancies often demonstrate a targetoid appearance, manifesting as rim arterial phase hyperenhancement, peripheral washout, central...
