Abstract

Various imaging modalities currently used to evaluate liver tumors include magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and computed tomographic arterial portography. In our review of 28 cases, we found CT arterial portography to be very sensitive, and in 5 of these 28 cases CT arterial portography was a key factor in altering the course of therapy.
