Abstract:
Hepatic echinococcosis is a parasitic, infectious disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas. It is highly infectious with a poor prognosis in some cases, which seriously affects the quality of life for people living in pastoral areas. This study aims to discuss the radiological characteristics, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), of hepatic echinococcosis from its definition, transmission, and pathological physiology. The characteristics of CT and MRI manifestations of cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis are summarized in this study. It might help doctors to investigate this disease further and accurately make a diagnosis.
