A comparative study of angiography and dynamic computed tomography in liver angioma. A report of 15 cases.
The dynamic computed tomographic image of liver hemangioma has recently been reported as being sufficiently diagnostic thus, avoiding further invasive procedures. In the present report the computed tomographic and angiographic images of hemangioma were correlated based on the 15 patients (totaling 27 lesions) who were examined by both modalities. Despite careful technique, a full dynamic computed tomography sequence was obtained in only 11 patients. In eight of these 11 patients the scan image displayed all characteristics of liver angioma; in three the lesion could not confidently be differentiated from metastatic disease.
