Establishing a diagnosis of liver cancer is a rather complex interdisciplinary process, the aim of which is to determine the type, number, and size of liver tumours, and to assess their potential operability. Thus, the following must be involved in the diagnostic process: a radiologist, hepatologist, surgeon, and oncologist. Currently used imaging techniques primarily include ultrasound examination combined with CT scan, in certain cases supplemented with magnetic resonance imaging or PET/CT imaging. The reliability of imaging techniques is relatively good in tumour foci over 1 cm in diameter, however, it is greatly diminished in those smaller than 1 cm in diameter.

Keywords: Key words: liver tumour, benign liver tumour, primary liver tumour, secondary liver tumour.
