| Abstract | Purpose: To evaluate whether triphasic spiral Computerized Tomography (CT) enables characterization of a wide range of liver lesions. Materials And Methods: 50 patients with suspected liver disease underwent triphasic liver (CT) scan. After injection of contrast material, the liver was scanned in arterial, portal and equilibrium phases. Enhancement of each lesion in each phase was evaluated, and the lesions were tabulated according enhancement patterns. Results: In all patients, liver lesions were detected. The nature of the lesions was characterized in all phases. Enhancement patterns of benign disease, malignant and metastases were also been analyzed. Arterial and venous phase images are helpful in the detection of hyper vascular lesions and are essential for the characterization of a large proportion of lesions. Equilibrium phase images demonstrate benign focal liver lesions, such as hemangioma, cyst, of a hypo-/hypo-(cyst)/hypoappearance. Hyper vascular rim of hyper-(rim)/ hypo-/hypolesions in patients with a hyper vascular primary tumor or chronic liver disease represented malignant disease. Hypo-/ hypo-/hypoand hypo-/hypo-/hyper lesions need to be interpreted with caution. Conclusion: Triphasic liver (CT) enables characterization of a wide range of liver lesions and characterized them significantly at p≤0.000 Keywords– Triphasic, Computerized Tomography, Hepatic Lesions |
