Abstract: The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) provides a basis for imaging diagnosis and postoperative evaluation of adult patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The system uses imaging features to evaluate and classify liver tumors and cell survival after tumor surgery. The LI-RADS for children include a variety of imaging diagnostics, imaging technology, imaging equipment, including ultrasound, contrast ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc. The system has two main functions, one is to provide the best choice of imaging methods for children,the other is to provide guidance on specific clinical and imaging protocols for known or suspected liver tumors. The system will benefit from physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood liver disease, It is helpful to improve the image quality of children, reduce the error of image analysis, enhance imaging communication, and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: liver imaging report and data management system, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver imaging
