After viewing this exhibit, participants will be able to: 1. Review imaging features of suspicious focal liver lesions in the setting of cirrhosis. 2. Be familiar with the current LiRads classification of focal lesions. 3. Become familiar with a practical and stepwise algorithmic approach to using LI-RADS. 4. Test their level of understanding through case based self-assessment.

1. Introduction 2. Imaging techniques a. CT evaluation of cirrhosis b. MRI evaluation of cirrhosis 3. Imaging features of focal liver lesions in cirrhosis a. Regenerative & dysplastic nodules b.
