Features: Hepatocellular carcinoma is known as the "king of cancers." China is a high-incidence area for hepatocellular carcinoma, with high prevalence and mortality rates. Through extensive contact with numerous patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma, witnessing their deaths due to the disease has deeply saddened and regretted me. Therefore, striving to improve patient survival rates, extend survival time, and enhance quality of life is a crucial responsibility for medical professionals. One key issue is early diagnosis and early treatment, and one effective means of achieving this is through imaging examinations. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces various CT manifestations of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, including typical and atypical findings, while also covering liver metastases, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, tumor thrombi (in blood vessels, bile ducts, and atria), and various post-interventional CT imaging appearances. The book is entirely written using materials from Chinese patients, and the author has focused on integrating imaging with clinical and pathological findings during the writing process, selecting high-quality CT images. At the end of the book, there are detailed appendices on "Liver CT Image Interpretation" and "Liver CT Scanning Techniques" to aid in understanding. This atlas is rich in content, features clear images, and provides detailed information, serving as a valuable reference tool for professionals in medical imaging and interventional radiology, as well as for relevant clinical physicians. It is also a highly practical textbook.
