Methods and Materials
Helical CT of 65 patients with metastatic lesions of the liver (29 male and 36 female) aged 32 to 65 years were analyzed retrospectively. The CT studies were performed using multislice helical scanner "Somatom Volume Zoom" (Siemens) with slice collimation 4 x 5 mm, slice thickness 5 mm and table motion 25 mm per tube rotation. After obtaining native images, the contrast study was performed using. Omnipaque 300, 1.5 ml/kg. Arterial, portal vein and venous phases were evaluated (20, 50 and 200 s, respectively). The results of helical CT were compared with routine and intraoperative US as well as operative findings.
