CT has always played a major role in the imaging of the liver despite continuous challenge by ultrasound and MR imaging. Introduction of multidetector row CT technology has helped CT to excel in its already established indications and has expanded its capabilities by adding new clinical indications, such as CT angiography or liver perfusion. This article discusses the advantages of multidetector row CT scanners in liver imaging, examines the guidelines to improve image quality by optimizing scanning protocols and contrast administration strategies, and reviews the current and potential clinical applications.
尽管超声和磁共振成像不断带来挑战，但CT在肝脏成像中一直发挥着重要作用。多排探测器CT技术的引入使CT在其已有的适应证方面表现出色，并通过增加新的临床适应证（如CT血管造影或肝脏灌注）扩展了其功能。本文讨论了多排探测器CT扫描仪在肝脏成像中的优势，研究了通过优化扫描方案和对比剂注射策略来提高图像质量的指南，并回顾了当前及潜在的临床应用。
