Computed Tomography in the Detection Hepatic Calcification Hemangioma

Abstract

The purpose: the estimation of a computed tomography(CT) signs of hepatic calcification hemangioma. Material and methods. Retrospectively results of CT with bolus contrast enhancement for examination hepatic calcified lesions of the 36 patients were analyzed. Results. As a basis for the retrospective analysis, the semiotic signs of patients, in which the hemangioma calcification developed during the dynamic CT monitoring, were used. As shown by the analysis, the center of calcification in combination with the cloisonne structures leading the arterial vessel, the decrease in the area of the focal lesion in the portovenous phase due to the vascular structures along the periphery of the focus are the criteria of calcified hemangioma. In 11 of 36 patients, calcified foci in the liver turned out to be hemangiomas.Conclusion. More than 30% calcifications in the liver detected at CT can be calcification hemangioma.
