CT diagnosis of cystic lesions of the liver.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 CT diagnosis of cystic lesions of the liver Liver CT showed cystic lesions, it may for many kinds of diseases, the pathological response. According to etiology can be divided into [1,2]: (1) Congenital: such as the liver cyst; (2) traumatic; (3) inflammatory: such as the liver abscess; (4) Parasitic: such as the liver hydatid cyst; (5) tumor: such as the liver cystic metastasis; (6) Other: such as the liver infarction. Now CT hepatic cystic lesions were divided into seven groups to be discussed below. A cyst was homogeneous water density lesion Such lesions are congenital liver cyst. CT showed single or multiple round, oval-shaped homogeneous water opacity, smooth, sharp edges, CT value of approximately between 0 ~ 15Hu. Due to partial volume effects, the CT value of the small cysts usually high and should TLC to diagnosis [2]. Enhanced scan cysts are not enhanced. Its borders in the surrounding normal liver parenchyma the backdrop of clearer. Cyst wall generally can not observe, but if the cyst in close proximity to each other, or close to the liver capsule is a thin cyst wall can be seen. Sometimes cysts can be showed multilocular, which can occur within a sample interval of the performance. Liver cysts are usually accompanied by kidney, spleen, pancreas, ovary, lung, brain, cyst-like lesions in this see also hepatic hydatid cyst. Liver hydatid cyst sub-4-type [3]: (1) simple type, with simple hepatic cysts indistinguishable; (2) internal capsule separated type, see a small amount of ascus; (3) multi-ascus-type; (4) real calcification type, cyst and the contents visible calcification. 2 cyst has increased the density of lesions When the cyst was slightly higher densities commonly found in intracystic hemorrhage, infection, cyst fluid contains more protein content, as well as partial volume effect Suozhi [3]. When cyst infection or abscess, CT scan showed thick-walled; see if the solid clot within the cyst, suggesting that
