Hepatic echinococcosis is a parasitic, infectious disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas. It is highly infectious with a poor prognosis in some cases, which seriously affects the quality of life for people living in pastoral areas. This study aims to discuss the radiological characteristics, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), of hepatic echinococcosis from its definition, transmission, and pathological physiology. The characteristics of CT and MRI manifestations of cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis are summarized in this study. It might help doctors to investigate this disease further and accurately make a diagnosis.
肝包虫病是一种寄生虫感染性疾病,在牧区发病率较高。它具有高度传染性,某些情况下预后较差,严重影响牧区居民的生活质量。本研究旨在从肝包虫病的定义、传播途径及病理生理学方面探讨其影像学特征,包括计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)。本研究总结了囊性肝包虫病和泡状肝包虫病的CT及MRI表现特点。这可能有助于医生进一步研究该疾病并准确做出诊断。
