Two cases of hepatic fascioliasis with characteristic features in US examinations and CT scans are presented. In both modalities they show tunnel-like branching and clustered areas of low echogenicity/density, which reach subcapsular regions. These cases are presented to recall the imaging features in hepatic fascioliasis especially outside endemic regions. Not only CT but also US is able to detect these characteristic lesions, which may help to make the diagnosis of hepatic fascioliasis in patients with clinical symptoms suggestive of parasitic disease.
本文介绍了两例在美国超声检查和CT扫描中具有特征性表现的肝片吸虫病病例。在这两种检查方式中，它们均显示出隧道样分支和低回声/低密度的聚集区域，这些区域延伸至包膜下区域。呈现这些病例是为了提醒人们注意肝片吸虫病的影像学特征，尤其是在非流行地区。不仅CT，超声也能够检测到这些特征性病变，这可能有助于对有寄生虫病临床症状的患者做出肝片吸虫病的诊断。
