title: [Sonographic and computed tomographic diagnosis of liver metastases. A review].
abstract: This article reviews the diagnosis of liver metastases by sonography and computed tomography. The ultrasonographic and computer tomographic features of hepatic metastases are described emphasizing the various signs of malignancy and the differential diagnosis of focal liver disease. The advantages and disadvantages of each imaging technique as well as a diagnostic approach in the evaluation of hepatic tumors are discussed.
