A multidisciplinary approach is essential in liver transplantation in order to achieve the best outcome, with the radiologist playing a crucial role during the whole process.
Radiological pre-liver transplantation assessment is becoming a daily routine in many major medical centers.
Meticulous understanding of the surgical process, its potential complications and contraindications is of paramount importance to the radiologist to adequately report pertinent information to the surgeon.
