Computed tomography of hepatic fascioliasis.
In seven patients with active fascioliasis of the liver, CT revealed nodular intrahepatic lesions of diminished attenuation, as well as peripheral branching formations. Computed tomography was negative in a single patient with quiescent disease. Computed tomography can be a useful tool for the diagnosis of this disease during the invasive period and also to evaluate response of patients to medical treatment.
