    Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing liver disease, differentiating cholestasis, and detecting infiltrations. However, its utility is limited in non-fibrotic parenchymal liver conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Established liver disease presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Non-invasive imaging is crucial for patient management.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used diagnostic modality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of computed tomography (CT) in patients with established liver disease.
    • To determine the specific applications and limitations of CT in various liver conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 100 patients with diagnosed liver disease underwent computed tomography (CT) scans.
    • Image analysis focused on differentiating intrahepatic from extrahepatic cholestasis.
    • Assessment included detection of fatty or iron infiltrations, cirrhosis, and metastatic deposits.

    Main Results:

    • CT effectively differentiated extrahepatic from intrahepatic cholestasis, identifying obstructive lesions.
    • The technique was valuable for detecting fatty and iron infiltrations in the liver.
    • CT provided useful information for patients with cirrhosis and liver metastases.
    • Diagnostic value was limited in non-fibrotic parenchymal liver disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a beneficial non-invasive tool for diagnosing specific liver conditions, including cholestasis and infiltrative diseases.
    • CT plays a significant role in evaluating patients with cirrhosis and metastatic liver disease.
    • Further research may be needed to enhance CT's role in non-fibrotic parenchymal liver disease diagnosis.
