The various radiologic methods used in the detection of hepatic lesions in the oncologic patient are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of each imaging technique as well as a new diagnostic approach are also discussed. With the rapid technological advances made in cross-sectional imaging, the authors believe that ultrasound and, whenever possible, computed tomography, should be used as the screening method.
