Imaging Findings of Cirrhotic Liver

摘要: The role of imaging in patients with cirrhosis is to characterize the morphologic manifestations disease, evaluate hepatic and extrahepatic vasculature, assess effects portal hypertension, detect tumors, especially differentiating hepatocellular caricnoma (HCC) from other tumors. CT plays a major liver. recent development multidetector row (MDCT) technology has helped continue excel its currently established indications such as detection characterization lesions. HCC fifth most common tumor world incidence expected increase future due hepatitis viral infections increasing incidence. Approximately 90% have cirrhosis. criteria are usually based on vascular findings (e.g. arterial enhancement followed by washout portovenous equilibrium phase). To understand hemodynamics important for precise diagnosis treatment since there good correlation between their pathophysiology. In this chapter, prevalent which can be evaluated scans, current diagnostic were discussed. addition, features atypical well frequent mimickers cirrhotic liver also
