CONTRAST-ENHANCED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ABDOMINAL MASS LESIONS

Abstract

Annotatsion. In this article, contrast enhancement allows us to define the boundary between a pathological lesion and healthy tissue, as well as visualize feeding vessels and detect invasion of surrounding structures, which is especially important when planning surgical intervention. Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). Currently, due to the development and availability of imaging techniques, most FNH are incidental findings and rarely grow to a size that causes symptoms. FNH is the second most common benign liver tumor, most often occurring in healthy young and middle- aged women. FNH also occurs in men; it is often smaller in size and has an atypical appearance; in such cases, a needle biopsy is often required.
