Hepatic infections are common and represent a heterogeneous group of disorders with varying severity. Patients with clinically suspected hepatic infections often undergo imaging evaluation. Imaging allows confirmation when the findings are typical. However, when the imaging appearances are atypical, imaging in conjunction with clinical and laboratory data allows narrowing the differential diagnoses. Further, imageguided sampling helps confirm diagnosis in certain situations. In this review, we describe the imaging appearance of various hepatic infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
