Abstract
The present high standard in the diagnosis and therapy of liver tumors has been achieved only by the close interdisciplinary cooperation of surgeons and radiologists. While modern imaging procedures used to give the surgeon information about the presence and actual extent of a liver tumor and also inspired the interest in new therapeutic concepts, it is now the surgeons who, with their nearly unlimited techniques of liver surgery, expect more precise and definitive statements on focal liver lesions from radiologists.
