Abstract

ABSTRACT:
The liver has two lobes, a larger right one and a smaller left one, according to morphological anatomy and from the anterior surface. Radiologists frequently divide the liver into functional vascular and biliary entities in order to localize focal intrahepatic lesions and during preoperative examinations for liver surgery, particularly living donor liver transplantation.
The detection of liver lesions in asymptomatic individuals has significantly risen due to the widespread availability of imaging modalities such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for screening for liver lesions and in the investigation of nonspecific abdominal complaints.

AIM OF THE WORK
The aim of the study was to establish the feasibility of the practical imaging approach to focal hepatic masses, in adult patients.

PATIENTS AND MEDTHODS
This study was conducted 50 patients with focal hepatic masses discovered incidentally on abdominal ultrasonography, CT or MRI.
This study adopts a cross-sectional observational design to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection and characterization of hepatic focal masses in adult patients
