title: Hepatic imaging. An overview.
abstract: Recent advances in ultrasound, CT scan, MR imaging, and scintigraphy permit characterization of a variety of focal and diffuse liver diseases. Accurate clinical information, however, is of vital importance in selecting the optimal imaging modality and interpreting the study accurately. Using a combination of radiologic findings and clinical information, a correct diagnosis may be achieved noninvasively.
