Abstract

The first edition of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) is proposed by American College of Radiology (ACR) in 2011 for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in at-risk patients.It is created to standardize the reporting and data collection of CT and MR imaging for HCC to classify observation.Since it had been announced,many validation studies had been performed and the first edition of LI-RADS had been revised in 2013 and 2014,respectively.In July 2017,the latest revision (LI-RADS(R)v2017) has just been launched more reasonable and practical with new algorithms,new revised categories for LI-RADS and new criteria for many imaging features.The changes of CT/MR in LIRADS(R) v2017 were interpretated in this article.
