title: [Computer tomographic diagnosis of liver diseases].
abstract: Computed tomography is one out of several imaging procedures used in the detection of liver disease (radionuclide imaging, ultrasound). It is a noninvasive technique convenient for the patient and generally an outpatient procedure. Many focal lesions and some diffuse liver disease are characterized by a specific pattern. For space-occupying lesions, the diagnostic accuracy ranges between 86 and 95 percent.
