Improvements in imaging have markedly improved the ability to detect hepatobiliary masses. The radiologic features of a lesion when considered in the context of the medical history, physical findings, and laboratory data can often provide a diagnosis. Investigative modalities can accurately stage hepatobiliary tumors and determine their resectability so that the patient may be offered appropriate therapeutic interventions. This article summarizes the essential imaging techniques and their application to common hepatobiliary neoplasms.
