[Computed Tomography Diagnosis of Hepatic Space-occupying Lesion of Different Nature]

Specific CT-symptoms are reliable criteria for differential diagnosis of benign lesions of the liver. The method permits to diagnose exactly cystic lesions of the liver in 95.3% cases, and tumor lesions -- in 83%. Diagnostic value of CT is higher in solitary non-parasitic cysts, polycystic disease and echinococcosis than in hemangioma, alveococcosis and malignant tumors of the liver (p<0,05). Contrast CT increases differential and diagnostic value of the method.
