September 7, 2017 -- The American College of Radiology (ACR) is updating its standardized system for liver cancer screening and surveillance ultrasound imaging exams.
The refinements to the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) focus on technique, interpretation, reporting, and data collection to improve patient care, education, research, and communication with referring clinicians.
The 24-page document includes screening and surveillance categories, a visualization scoring system, and technical recommendations for performing a screening or surveillance ultrasound exam.
The documents were created by the Contract Enhanced Ultrasound or CEUS LI-RADS Working Group and approved by the LI-RADS Steering Committee.
The Core is a 25-page hyperlinked document that covers everything needed to apply CEUS LI-RADS v2017. It includes an updated diagnostic algorithm, basic management guidance, basic reporting guidance, key definitions, core supporting material, and FAQs.
