magnetic resonance in combination with a system of
response criteria. World Health Organization (WHO)
criteria and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors (RECIST) are based on changes in the size of
the entire target tumors. On the contrary, European
Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) criteria
and modified RECIST (mRECIST) criteria are based
only on the size of the viable (i.e enhancing on dynamic
imaging with computed tomography or with magnetic
resonance) component of the target tumors. At least
for the post-interventional evaluation of hepatocel-
lular carcinoma, enhancement-based criteria appear
to be more appropriate than size-based criteria. In the
future, techniques of three-dimensional imaging, and
modalities which depict the hemodynamic behavior,
the molecular structure and the metabolism of target
tumors, might gainwider acceptance andmight comple-
ment or replace the current approaches.
