Objective:
To evaluate the incidence and spectrum of abdominal computed tomography imaging findings in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis.
Materials And Methods:
Retrospective analysis of abdominal computed tomography images of 26 patients with disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.
Results:
Abnormal abdominal tomographic findings were observed in 18 patients (69.2%), while no significant finding was observed in the other 8 (30.8%) patients.
Conclusion:
Computed tomography has demonstrated to play a relevant role in the screening and detection of abdominal abnormalities in patients with disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
