Abstract
To determine the sensitivities of CT and ultrasonography for detecting hepatomas in cirrhotic patients, a retrospective analysis was performed of 733 patients who underwent liver transplantation. A study population of 21 patients was selected. The sensitivities of CT and ultrasonography were determined by comparing the imaging findings with pathology findings from serially sectioned total hepatectomy specimens. Results lead to a conclusion that CT and ultrasonography have a low sensitivity for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with cirrhosis.
