Abstract:
Owing to the development of multidetector-row CT (MDCT), capability in the imaging diagnosis of liver disease has increased surprisingly. First, a marked decrease in scan duration of the liver enables us to select the accurate scan time optionally. Secondly, a marked decrease in slice thickness enables us to render isotropic and three-dimensional images completely. In this pictorial review, we described the optimal contrast enhancement of the liver on MDCT and its significance as well as the applications of isotropic and three-dimensional images obtained by MDCT.
