Computed tomography in hepatic echinococcosis. 1982

J de Diego Choliz, and F J Lecumberri Olaverri, and T Franquet Casas, and S Ostiz Zubieta

Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate 50 cases of hydatid disease of the liver. It was definite in 49 cases and negative in one case. Pre- and postcontrast scans were performed. CT may reveal the exact location and extension of cysts and possible complications. However, a false-negative case was found in a hydatid cyst located in a fatty liver.
