title: The use of computerised axial tomography (CAT) in the diagnosis of hydatid cysts.
abstract: One hundred and twenty-two patients out of 500 examined by CAT scan were found to have hydatid cysts. The distribution of the cysts according to age, sex, location and number are discussed. CAT is recommended as the radiological procedure of choice in the diagnosis of hydatid cysts due to its advantages over other conventional radiological procedures.
