Frequency of Different Types of Focal Hepatic Lesions on Triphasic Computed Tomography Scan in Adult Patients (original) (raw)

Abstract

Out of various pathologies that affect the liver, focal liver lesion form an important group. Triphasic computed tomography is the imaging modality most often used to evaluate focal liver lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of liver lesions and to determine frequency of these lesions.
