✦ Synopsis

Diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology play key roles in the evaluation and management of patients who are being evaluated for potential liver transplantation (LTX) and of those who have received a transplanted liver. Technical advances in imaging equipment and technique allow more accurate assessment and often obviate unnecessary or nontherapeutic surgery or invasive techniques such as catheter angiography.
