Abstract:
In recent years,the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased with a higher mortality rate.Early detection and early treatment are essential to improving the patients' survival rate. Imaging is widely used HCC and is advantageous because it is non-invasive. The rapid development of imaging calls for higher standards in order to diagnosis hepatocarcinoma at an earlier stage so as to achieve complete treatment.This review describes the scientific progress on imaging differential diagnosis and application on pre-cancerous nodules (dysplastic nodule,DN) and small hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC) related to hepatocarcinogenesis in cirrhotic livers.
