The aim of this exhibit is: -To review the complications of locorregional treatment (LRT) for HCC. LRT include percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). -To describe the expected and unexpected imaging features of treated lesions as well as the surrounding parenchima after LRT. This radiologic spectrum of the postprocedure follow-up includes different imaging tecniques such as contrast enhanced US (CEUS), CT and MRI.    

1.Imaging features of treated HCC in the immediate follow-up at US, CEUS and MRI after each LRT (e.g. hyperemia, residual tumor):    -PEI    -RFA    -TACE 2.Radiological features of LRT complications :    -vascular  (e.g. hepatic infarction, subcapsular hematoma)    -bilary (e.g. bile duct stenosis, cholangitis)    -extrahepatic (e.g. cholecystitis, mesenteric ischemia)

Familiarity with imaging findings of treated HCC is helpful in assesing management after LRT as well as therapeutic response if complications occur.
