Malekzadeh, Sonaz Widmer, Lucien Salahshour, Faezeh Egger, Bernhard Ronot, Maxime Thoeny, Harriet C. 2020-07-26 Hepatic infections are frequent in clinical practice. Although epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data may suggest hepatic infection in certain cases, imaging is nearly always necessary to confirm the diagnosis, assess disease extension and its complications, evaluate the response to treatment, and sometimes to make differential diagnoses such as malignancies. Ultrasound (US) is usually the first-line investigation, while computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide better characterization and a more precise assessment of local extension, especially biliary and vascular. The purpose of this article is to describe the typical features and main complications of common hepatic infections. Familiarity with the radiological features of this entity can help suggest the correct diagnosis and the need for further studies as well as determine appropriate and timely treatment. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/308873 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/308873/files/tho_tif.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/s00261-020-02642-z info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Abdominal Radiology. - 2021, vol. 46, no. 2, p. 544-561 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/616 Typical imaging finding of hepatic infections: a pictorial essay http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
