Abstract
Detecting and characterizing focal liver lesions remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the patients with focal liver lesions using triphasic computed tomography. Hence, 80 patients spanned for around 18 months to correlate between computed tomography scan findings and final diagnosis. We found male dominancy with high sensitivity for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at 73.7%, hemangioma's at 94.1% and metastases at 98.4%. Thus, we show that, tri-phasic computed tomography can be widely accepted computed tomography protocol used for assessing liver lesions, allowing for the detection and characterization of most focal liver abnormalities across various pathological scenarios.
