title: [Contribution of computed tomography to the diagnosis of benign tumors of the liver].
abstract: Computed tomography is a recently introduced, nonaggressive method of radiological investigation that can contribute to the study of hepatic tumors. Information obtained by using a third generation apparatus in six cases of benign hepatic tumor is reported, and compared with operative findings in five cases. The principal aspects, common to both ultrasonography and computed tomography examinations, are compared within the context of the pathological findings. Computed tomography is of value as a complementary investigation to reduce any possible insufficiency of ultrasonography examinations or to supply supplementary information during pre-operative tests.
