Over five years, 105 patients with hepatic echinococcosis were studied. Plain radiographs of the hepatic area yielded the correct diagnosis in 35% of patients. Intravenous viscerograms were diagnostic in all but 14 of the patients (an accuracy of 83%). Computed tomography was performed in 19 cases and proved the most efficient of the techniques--it was diagnostic in all 19 cases. The radiological signs of this entity are discussed.
