LI-RADS classification for liver lesions

Non-rim arterial phase enhancement
Absent
Present
Observed size of lesion (mm) < 20 ≥ 20 < 10 10-19 ≥ 20
Presence of additional major features None LR-3 LR-3 LR-3 LR-3 LR-4
 Enhancing “capsule” One LR-3 LR-4 LR-4 LR-4/LR-5* LR-5
 Nonperipheral washout ≥ Two LR-4 LR-4 LR-4 LR-5 LR-5
 Threshold growth
*

If a lesion is classified in this category and has enhancing capsule, it is categorized as LR-4. However, if a lesion is classified in this category and has either nonperipheral washout OR threshold growth, it is classified as LR-5. LI-RADS: Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System
