Abstract

Purpose of this study is: to evaluate the role of computed tomography perfusion and computed tomography triphasic in assessment of hepatic focal lesions.
Methods: The study included 43 patients (between 30 to 60 years old) referred from radiodiagnosis department. Each patient included in the study was subjected to full history taking and availability of the previous studies. Results: The study showed that CT perfusion revealed more accurate results than CT triphasic. Conclusion: The current application of CT perfusion to patient with hepatic focal lesions showed that it enhanced our understanding of the disease diagnosis staging, prognostic evaluation and monitoring therapeutic response.
