Focal and diffuse benign hepatic disease: correlative imaging.
With the large numbers of screening CT scans and ultrasounds performed in a busy radiologic practice, it is not uncommon to discover an unexpected focal or diffuse process in the liver. When there is no history of primary malignancy, many of these lesions are benign. We discuss the variety of benign focal and diffuse diseases that can be readily imaged within the liver using ultrasound, CT, and MR.
