Abstract
The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines on the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) includes an algorithm to assist in the diagnosis of small liver nodules found on surveillance. The algorithm was developed on the basis of expert opinion. The two authors of the guidelines have since validated the algorithm. In this issue, the first external validation of the diagnostic algorithm is presented.
