Renal transplantation was considered as an efficient and ideal method for end stage renal disease treatment of the patients, by accomplishment of the first successful transplantation in 1954 (Boston USA). Renal transplantation has transmuted the treatment of choice in end stage renal disease, along with prolonging survival; it offers high quality with low morbidity. Imaging modalities play an important role in the diagnosis of complications arising in renal transplant. Color Doppler ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for evaluation of renal graft. Computed tomography scan in parallel with magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography are used as problem-solving tools in indetermination of cases. Interventional radiology such as transluminal angioplasty has an important role in management of complications. Use of real time ultrasound guidance for percutaneous biopsy is almost universal.

Liver metastatic disorders usually occur in patients with stomach, pancreas, breast, colon, and lung and etc tumor. About 30 percent of patients die because of malignancies, have liver metastases. Liver imaging examination is a fundamental preclinical test to predict patient’s prognosis and is required to monitor treatment. Despite recent advances in radiologic examination, liver metastases are still remaining as a challenge in human oncology. It seems that US is a reliable alternate for CT scan in metastases detection. CT scan should be considered in patients are highly suspension for liver metastases, who have normal or undetermined US findings. The aim of this study was a brief review of radiologic assessment in liver metastases.
