Abstract

The RECIST criteria are the objective basis of determining response of solid organ tumours to interventions. Although these criteria are widely used in clinical trials their application to daily radiology practice has been limited as they were cumbersome to use. In its current iteration there has been significant simplification of the criteria and this has made them more user friendly. Their application in general radiology practice may still be limited however in large oncology centres these and similar schema play a central role.
