Evaluation of computed tomography for the diagnosis of malignant lesions in the liver

Abstract

Thirty seven cases with malignant lesions in the liver underwent computed tomography and diagnostic evaluation was studied comparing with liver scanning, echogram and blood biochemistry. 1) In the cases with hepatocellular carcinoma, irregular shaped, low density area was detected in 94%. CT was superior to liver scanning and echogram in detection of space occupying lesion in the liver. 2) Remarkable dilatation of the intra-hepatic bile duct was observed in the cases with intra-hepatic biliary carcinoma and the visualization of the tumor was rather difficult. 3) Round shaped, low density area with various size were detected in the cases with metastatic liver carcinoma in 94%. The CT number of the tumors were significantly lower than that of hepatocellular carcinoma. Almost all cases accompanied remarkable hepatomegaly.
