[Abstract] Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary hepatic malignancy following hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Incidence of ICC has increased in recent decades. ICC has a poor prognosis with a hidden onset and high degree malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly applied in ICC because of its contribution to early diagnosis and treatment evaluation. This paper reviewed the progress of diagnosis and treatment evaluation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma using magnetic resonance imaging.
