Core Tip	Complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) still constitute a significant cause of morbidity and graft loss. Prompt diagnosis is then essential in order to address patients to most proper treatment and assure graft and patient survival, especially in the case of vascular and biliary complications. The review focuses on: (1) the state-of-the-art role for different imaging modalities in assessing post-OLT complications, together with practical recommendations for their use; and (2) future perspective for quantitative imaging modalities in non-invasively assessing primary hepatic complications (for which the role of conventional imaging is still limited), using human C virus recurrence as the most exemplificative scenario.
