Liver abscess remains a serious and even life-threatening condition, despite advances in imaging and treatment. The diagnosis of liver abscess depends heavily on radiologic imaging, particularly ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. The appearance of liver abscesses on these modalities depends mainly on the chronicity of the abscess. The US and CT features of 33 patients with liver abscesses are presented. Percutaneous drainage of pyogenic abscesses under imaging control is the treatment of choice. Eleven of 24 patients with pyogenic abscesses had percutaneous drainage with good results.
尽管在影像学和治疗方面取得了进展，但肝脓肿仍然是一种严重甚至危及生命的疾病。肝脓肿的诊断在很大程度上依赖于放射影像学检查，尤其是超声（US）和计算机断层扫描（CT）。这些检查方式下肝脓肿的表现主要取决于脓肿的病程。本文介绍了33例肝脓肿患者的超声和CT特征。在影像学引导下经皮穿刺引流化脓性脓肿是首选的治疗方法。24例化脓性脓肿患者中有11例行经皮穿刺引流，效果良好。
