LI-RADS US Surveillance Version 2024 for Surveillance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Update to the American College of Radiology US LI-RADS

Radiology. 2024 Dec;313(3):e240169. doi: 10.1148/radiol.240169.

Abstract

In 2017, the American College of Radiology introduced the US Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) as a framework for US surveillance of patients at risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma. This has aided in the standardization of technique, clinical reporting, patient management, data collection, and research. Emerging evidence has helped inform changes to the algorithm, now released as LI-RADS US Surveillance version 2024. The updated algorithm, the rationale for changes, and its alignment with the 2023 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Practice Guidance are presented.
