Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System: Review of Ancillary Imaging Features

The American College of Radiology supported Liver Imaging Reporting And Data System (LI-RADS) is a comprehensive system for standardized interpretation and reporting of imaging examinations performed in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As reviewed in the first article of a two-part series, LI-RADS uses 5 major imaging features to categorize LR-3, LR-4, and LR-5 observations. The major features are arterial phase enhancement, washout appearance, capsule appearance, diameter, and threshold growth.
