American College of Gastroenterology Updates Clinical Guidelines for Focal Liver Lesions

The American Journal of Gastroenterology has published an updated clinical guideline on focal liver lesions, which are increasingly common findings in abdominal imaging. Additional highlights include AI-assisted colonoscopy techniques, neuromodulators in IBS, and therapeutics for IBD.

This updated American College of Gastroenterology clinical guideline on focal liver lesions provides recommendations for these increasingly common findings in abdominal imaging. Two key recommendations include the use of multiphasic contrast-enhanced imaging (MRI or CT) with late arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases for focal liver lesions of unknown etiology; and discontinuing oral contraceptives or hormone-containing IUDs in patients with hepatic adenomas.
