Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasonography and contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) in detection and characterization of liver lesions. Lesions in 50 patients were examined by sonography and contrast enhanced CT scan. The sonographic images were reviewed by sonologist and the specific diagnoses by CT were recorded. The diagnostic performances including the characterization of each lesion enhancement as peripheral nodular enhancement, non enhance as well as shape including hypo dense non-enhancing focal lesions, as oval -shape hypo dense hepatic lesion, rounded hypo dense focal hepatic lesion were correlated with the final CT and Sonographic diagnosis . After review of contrast-enhanced CT scan images, the study revealed significant relation between the enhancement, character of the lesions and the sonographic findings with the CT diagnosis at p < .001 and p < .001 and p< 0.017 respectively. Contrast-enhanced CT improves the diagnostic performance in liver lesions compared with baseline sonography.
