Liver CT

TC Hígado

Diagnostic test that involves obtaining high-definition anatomical two- and three-dimensional images of the liver using CT (computed tomography) equipment. The study must be performed before and after the use of iodinated contrast, carrying it out in different ‘hepatic phases’ to correctly assess all structures: hepatic parenchyma, intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts, gallbladder, hepatic vessels (hepatic artery, portal vein and suprahepatic veins) and adjacent structures (stomach, duodenum, inferior vena cava, pancreatic gland, etc.). This test is particularly useful in the study of liver damage, chronic liver disease, etc.
