• The relative enhancement ratio of the biliary system (REB) was an independent risk factor for post-hepatectomy liver failure in HCC patients. • HCC patients with the REB ≤ 2.21 had significantly higher incidence of post-hepatectomy liver failure than those with the REB > 2.21 (60.0% versus 8.5%).
