Role of triple phase computed tomography in hepatic lesion evaluation

  • Unique Paper ID: 183024
  • PageNo: 162-166
  • Abstract:
  • This study aimed to evaluate the utility of triple-phase computed tomography (CT) scans in characterizing hepatic lesions and to determine the predictive accuracy of this imaging technique for differentiating various types of liver lesions. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 45 patients with suspected or confirmed hepatic lesions who underwent triple-phase CT scans. The CT scans were reviewed by radiologist,Dr Sarthak Sharma and the findings were correlated with the final diagnoses, established through ultrasound histopathology and follow-up imaging. The diagnostic performance of triple-phase CT, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, was calculated for the characterization of different hepatic lesions, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, hemangioma, metastases. The results demonstrated that triple-phase CT is a valuable tool for the characterization of hepatic lesions, providing high accuracy in differentiating between various lesion types. The study concludes that triple-phase CT is a reliable imaging modality for the assessment of hepatic lesions, aiding in accurate diagnosis and management.
