The use of abdominal contrast tomography in liver disease.
The value of a high dose infusion technique using urographic contrast medium followed by tomography was studied in 44 patients with liver disease. The method was found to be of value in showing cysts, abscesses and cystic disease of the liver. Large tumours, primary and secondary, can also be demonstrated. Normal bile ducts are not visible, but become apparent when they are dilated.
