    Summary

    Sonography is effective for diagnosing liver lesions in basic hospitals, while advanced imaging like scintigraphy and angiography improve accuracy in general hospitals. Specialized tests are reserved for complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Diagnostic Radiology
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Circumscribed hepatic processes require accurate diagnostic evaluation.
    • Various imaging modalities exist for diagnosing liver lesions.
    • Hospital structure influences diagnostic pathway availability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficiency of different diagnostic imaging techniques for circumscribed hepatic processes.
    • To recommend optimal diagnostic procedures based on hospital level and clinical findings.
    • To assess the role of supplementary diagnostic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of diagnostic procedures from 1970-1977.
    • Inclusion of sonography, scintigraphy, angiography, ERCP, hepatography, and computed tomography.
    • Correlation of diagnostic findings with clinical presentation and hospital structure.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography diagnosed 80% of liver metastases and primary lesions in basic hospitals.
    • Cystic lesions were excluded by sonography.
    • Combined scintigraphy and angiography increased diagnostic accuracy to 90% for solitary lesions.
    • ERCP, hepatography, and PTC were used in specific cases.
    • Computed tomography did not replace other morphological diagnostic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonography is a primary tool for liver lesion diagnosis in Austrian basic hospitals.
    • Scintigraphy and angiography are crucial for further characterization of solitary lesions in general hospitals.
    • Advanced imaging like CT has a limited role in replacing established morphological diagnostic methods for hepatic processes.
