[Radiological diagnosis of liver hemangiomas: look at the problem of surgical clinic]

To define significance of radiological diagnostics in detection and characterization of hepatic hemangiomas.

Analysis of 176 patients with liver hemangiomas was performed. All patients were investigated or consulted in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgical department. US, CT, MRI, angiography, scintigraphy and liver biopsy were compared.
