COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN FOCAL LIVER LESIONS

Introduction: Liver diseases are among the commonestcauses of morbidity and mortality accurate characterization is an important goal diagnostic imaging.The aim study to establish role ultrasonography CT in differentiation early diagnosis focal liver lesions correlate findings with pathological diagnosis. Methodology:This prospective comparative observational hospital based was conducted on 100 patients. USG were performed hepatic mass Diagnostic value compared those CT. Results: Ultrasonography evaluation results final by FNAC/ HPR.USG showed maximum cases malignant HCC (20%) benign abscess (19%).CT diagnosed number as metastasis (19%) andalmost equal percentage hemangiomas(15%) abscess(16%) lesions. The sensitivity specificity diagnosing turned out be slightly less than that Conclusion:The concluded can adopted initial imaging modality advantages differentiating cystic from solid lesions, relationship critical structures guide FNAC biopsy. has a comparatively higher detection help narrow differentials.
