Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate 15 rabbits with experimentally induced liver abscesses. The animals were examined both before and after intravenous contrast injection. After sacrificing the animals, postfreeze CT scans were made to mark the abdomen for 1-cm thick whole body sections for correlating the gross pathology with the results of the CT scans. CT detected 15 abscesses in 13 of the 14 rabbits with true positive lesions. Ten abscesses less than 1.4 cm in diameter were not detected by CT. Contrast agent enhancement was helpful in 70% of the studies. These abscesses have characteristics similar to human liver abscesses, but there was more gas and calcium in the experimentally induced abscesses than is encountered in humans with hepatic abscesses. The model and its CT characteristics appear well suited for future studies in the diagnosis and treatment of liver abscesses.
