Abstract

In the diagnosis of the presence, nature, and location of hepatobiliary neoplasms, the diagnostic radiologist assumes a primary responsibility. This has come about largely due to the developments in the noninvasive modalities of radionuclide scintigraphy (RN), ultrasonography (US), and computed tomography (CT) as well as the refinements in the invasive procedures of angiography and percutaneous biopsy. The place of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) [1] and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [2–4] has not been defined as yet. This chapter highlights the radiologist’s role in the diagnosis of patients with hepatic tumors.
