The guidelines recommend surveillance with liver ultrasound (US) for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The accuracy of US is operator‐dependent and is limited in those with severe obesity or ascites. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may have higher accuracy for detecting HCC, especially early HCC.
