"Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System Ultrasound Surveillance (LI-RADS US Surveillance) is a standardised system with recommendations for imaging technique, interpretation and reporting for surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using unenhanced ultrasound in patients at high risk for developing HCC. As a surveillance tool, it is not intended to diagnose HCC, which requires dynamic assessment with contrast-enhanced studies. See: LI-RADS (overview)."
