Scanning in hydatid disease.
Nine cases of hydatid disease are presented. CAT scans were done in each case. Radioisotope and ultrasound scans were also carried out in appropriate cases. CAT and ultrasound scans give characteristic appearances particularly when daughter cysts are present. CAT scans have the advantage of better resolution, and cyst density can be measured in terms of EMI units.
