Core Tip	Noninvasive imaging modalities allow diagnosis, characterization, staging, surveillance, and prognosis evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques show promise in providing further important information of tumor biological behaviors, and, thus, improve the early detection ability and characterization accuracies for HCC. Development of prediction model comprising serological, imaging, texture, and radiogenomic parameters may facilitate preoperative evaluation of tumor recurrence and patient survival. Here, we reviewed recent advances in imaging techniques for noninvasive HCC assessment, basic key concepts of HCC development, and current practice guidelines for HCC management.
