Recent innovations in imaging are enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer, shifting from mere detection to personalized treatment guidance.

• New techniques, including multiphasic CT and MRI with hepatobiliary contrast, improve staging and prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
• Enhanced imaging features allow for biological characterization of tumors, aiding in treatment allocation beyond size and number.

These developments underline the necessity for surgeons to stay updated on imaging technologies that influence surgical strategy and patient outcomes.
