Abstract :

It is important to apply a systematic approach in the diagnosis and management of focal liver lesions which is possible thorough clinical history and physical examination, relevant laboratory and radiological investigations, and histopathology.1,2 Although, histopathology is the gold standard in making the final diagnosis yet it is not always feasible being invasive3. Over the past few years dynamic CT and USG has become the main diagnostic modality for diagnosis of focal liver lesions4. As both of these techniques vary in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy which affects the diagnosis, staging and treatment planning5–7. The current study aims to study various imaging pattern of focal liver lesions and correlate between ultrasonographic and Triple phase CT findings in arriving at a specific diagnosis before surgery or biopsy.
