Abstract

The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) is a comprehensive system that uses standardized terminology, technique, interpretation, and reporting of imaging studies for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance, diagnosis, and locoregional treatment response assessment. Since its initial release in 2011, LI-RADS has evolved and expanded in scope. In this article, we discuss recent updates intended to address clinical needs and mitigate current challenges.
