ACR CEUS LI-RADS 2016

ACR LI-RADS® CEUS was developed by a working group of national and international experts chaired by Dr. Yuko Kono, MD, of the University of California, San Diego. Members include radiologists and hepatologists from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Beta versions of the LI-RADS® CEUS algorithm were presented at national and international conferences in 2015 and 2016. Feedback was solicited. Based on the feedback and iterative consensus, the working group refined and in 5-21-16 finalized the LI-RADS® CEUS algorithm. The algorithm was officially approved by the ACR LI-RADS® Steering Committee on 6-24-16 and submitted to the ACR for public release on 6-24-16.
