CT Liver

A CT scan of the liver is a diagnostic imaging procedure that provides detailed information about the liver’s structure and surrounding organs in the abdominal area. This imaging modality is invaluable for assessing the liver’s size, shape, and density, as well as for detecting various liver conditions and related issues. A CT liver scan can reveal liver abnormalities such as tumours, cysts, abscesses, or fatty liver disease. It also helps assess the liver’s blood vessels, including the hepatic arteries and portal veins, and can identify blockages or abnormalities in these vessels. Furthermore, a CT liver scan provides insights into the gallbladder, biliary tree, and nearby organs such as the spleen and pancreas, which can be helpful in diagnosing conditions like gallstones or pancreatic tumours. In some cases, a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the liver can highlight the presence of lesions or vascular abnormalities with even greater clarity.

In clinical practice, a CT scan of the liver is a critical tool for diagnosing liver diseases and guiding treatment decisions. Hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and radiologists use these images to assess the liver’s health, identify lesions or masses, determine the stage of liver diseases, and plan for interventions such as biopsies or surgical procedures. Whether it’s for monitoring liver cancer, evaluating the effects of liver cirrhosis, or investigating abdominal pain or jaundice, a CT liver scan provides essential information for the diagnosis and management of liver-related conditions.
