Description
Summary:With allowance made for the widespread prevalence of diffuse liver diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in particular, there is a need for the most objective evaluation of the state of this organ. One of the most important criteria for this evaluation is to estimate liver tissue density values. Today, the introduction of programs, such as lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography, has made it possible to conduct mass surveys in this area. This literature review deals with the advantages and disadvantages of computed tomography in detecting diffuse liver lesions.
