Post-treatment MRI findings of hepatocellular carcinoma.

In addition to surgery, ablative and transarterial therapies are widely accepted treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma. Although post-treatment followup is usually done with both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MRI is found to be superior in detecting residual or recurrent tumors after treatment. Familiarity with post-treatment MRI findings is critical for the correct interpretation of these examinations, and for guiding further therapies.
