| Core Tip |
Hepatic hydatid disease is highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, where imaging is central to diagnosis, staging, and management. This pictorial review demonstrates the spectrum of imaging findings across ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, emphasizing practical, resource-adapted interpretation. Key typical and atypical features, complications, and characteristic radiologic signs are illustrated alongside the World Health Organization-Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis classification to reinforce standardized staging. By focusing on commonly available modalities and real-world diagnostic challenges, this review aims to improve recognition, guide treatment decisions, and enhance diagnostic accuracy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. |
