Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is often performed as the initial imaging study for the workup of patients with known or suspected liver disease. Our article reviews liver CT techniques and protocols in clinical practice along with updates on relevant CT advances, including wide-detector CT, radiation dose optimization, and multienergy scanning, that have already shown clinical impact. Particular emphasis is placed on optimizing the late arterial phase of enhancement, which is critical to evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma. We also discuss emerging techniques that may soon influence clinical care.Entities:
