Diffuse hepatocellular processes are not well imaged by most radiologic modalities. At present, CT has not added significantly to the evaluation of hepatocellular disease, particularly in the cirrhotic liver. The CT patterns of cirrhosis previously described are reviewed, and the pathophysiology of cirrhosis is discussed. In 3 cases, a pattern was seen in cirrhotic livers characterized by nonuniform attenuation with varied response to administration of intravenous contrast agents. With further evaluation of fatty infiltration and cirrhosis, CT may prove helpful in understanding these disease processes.
大多数放射学检查方式对弥漫性肝细胞病变的成像效果不佳。目前，CT对肝细胞疾病的评估并未有显著帮助，尤其是在肝硬化肝脏的评估方面。本文回顾了先前描述的肝硬化CT表现模式，并探讨了肝硬化的病理生理学。在3例病例中，观察到肝硬化肝脏有一种表现模式，其特征为密度不均匀，对静脉注射造影剂的反应各异。随着对脂肪浸润和肝硬化的进一步评估，CT可能有助于理解这些疾病过程。
