Multidetector CT of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide. Numerous surgical and nonsurgical treatment options are available for the management of patients with HCC. Successful long-term outcome is dependent on early detection of HCC, as well as accurate delineation of the number and location of tumor nodules. We present the different manifestations of hepatocellular carcinoma as depicted by multidetector-row CT with advanced image processing.
