Core Tip	This perspective advocates for paradigm shifts in cholangiocarcinoma imaging for transplantation: Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System standardization to reduce diagnostic variability; artificial intelligence radiomics for recurrence risk prediction; and contrast-enhanced ultrasound adoption to bridge resource gaps. Together, these innovations can transform ambiguous evaluations into precision-driven pathways, optimizing post-transplant survival.
