Optimizing US for HCC surveillance.
Optimizing US for HCC surveillance. Abdominal radiology (New York) Rodgers, S. K., Fetzer, D. T., Seow, J. H., McGillen, K., Burrowes, D. P., Fung, C., Udare, A. S., Wilson, S. R., Kamaya, A. 2024Abstract
Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality used for surveillance of patients at risk for HCC. In 2017, the American College of Radiology Liver Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (ACR LI-RADS) introduced US LI-RADS to standardize the performance, interpretation, and reporting of US for HCC surveillance, with the algorithm recently updated as LI-RADS US Surveillance v2024. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) recommends reporting both the examination-level LI-RADS US Category as well as the US Visualization Score. The US Category conveys the overall findings of the exam and primarily determines follow up recommendations. The US Visualization Score conveys the expected sensitivity of the test and stratifies patients into appropriate surveillance pathways. One of the goals of routine surveillance is the detection of HCC at an early, potentially curable stage. Therefore, optimizing US technique is of critical importance. Increasing North American and worldwide utilization of LI-RADS US Surveillance, which includes technical recommendations, through education and outreach will undoubtedly benefit patients undergoing US HCC surveillance.
