| Core Tip |
Habitat imaging offers a different way of reading magnetic resonance imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma, moving beyond simple lesion description and trying to capture the tumor’s internal spatial heterogeneity. Its value lies not only in the possibility of predicting response after transarterial chemoembolization, but also in helping clinicians think more carefully about pretreatment selection and multidisciplinary treatment planning. At present, however, this approach is still constrained by important limitations, including methodological fragility, poor standardization, and the lack of solid prospective validation. The key issue is no longer whether habitat imaging is conceptually attractive, but whether it is robust enough to become genuinely useful in clinical practice. |
