Ultrasonography and computed tomography evaluation in hepatic mass lesions
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Ultrasonography and computed tomography evaluation of hepatic mass lesions. Aims and Objectives: Evaluate the role of Ultrasonography (USG) and Computed Tomography (CT) in detection and characterization of hepatic mass lesions and correlation with the histopathology. Materials and Methods: USG was performed by using GE voluson 730 pro machine with convex probe of frequency 3-5 MHz and high frequency probe of 7-10 Mhz. CT done on “SIEMENS” 16 slice spiral CT scanner. Hepatic Triple-Phase Contrast MDCT Protocol was followed. Result: Spectrum of hepatic masses in our study includes infective (36%), primary benign tumours (20%), primary malignant tumours (16%), and metastasis (28%). Most common benign and malignant lesions were hemangioma and metastasis. Conclusion: Infective masses are the most common entity among all hepatic mass lesions and Metastatic masses are the most common malignant lesions. Ultrasonography is initial imaging modality of choice as it is noninvasive, free of radiation hazards, quick and cost effective. CT narrows the list of differential diagnosis.
