Abstract
Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death globally. Curative treatment options for HCC including surgical resection, liver transplantation, and ablation treatments including radiofrequency and chemoembolization are effective for early-stage HCC. So, the early diagnosis is crucial in the management of patients with HCC. Hepatocellular carcinoma can be diagnosed non-invasively using imaging tests depending on imaging-based staging for treatment selection. The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) was initially created to standardize the reporting and data collection of CT and MR imaging for patients at risk for HCC. The aim of this work was evaluating the role of liver imaging reporting and data System (LI-RADs) in categorizing observations from imaging analyses of high-risk patients based on the level of suspicion for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This prospective study was conducted on 40 adult patients with hepatic focal lesion/s suspected to be HCC; 62.5% of them were males, and 37.5% were females with their ages ranged from 40 to 65 years with a mean of 56.375±4.775 SD. Eighty percent of the studied patients had history of liver cirrhosis. All the patients were subjected to thorough data collection and triphasic CT study with contrast. Twenty-seven patients had solitary hepatic focal lesions & 13 patients had multiple hepatic focal lesions. So, 40 patients were examined for assessment of 62 hepatic focal lesions.
