| Abstract | ||
| Liver is affected by both benign and malignant tumors, the tumors may be single mass or multiple nodules or occasionally be diffusely invasive ,in our research both CT- scan and ultrasound have been used for diagnosis, and in order to investigate which of them is more accurate biopsy examination has been done for each of the tissue liver tumor. The total number of patients was 40(24 males and 16 females) their mean age was 52 year , all of them are suffering from liver tumor .They were collected from specialized surgical hospital and specialized center for GIT and liver diseases .All patients were examined by both CT-Scan and ultrasound and then their results were compare with the biopsy results .The results of ultrasound examination were :23 patient (57.5%) have malignant tumor and 9 patient ( 22.5%) have benign tumor while 8 cases (20%) was diagnosed as a healthy person and the results of CT-Scan examination were : 23 patient ( 57.5% ) have malignant tumor and 17 patient ( 42.5% ) have benign tumor, from this we conclude that the efficiency of CT-Scan in the diagnosis of liver tumors (100 %) is higher than the efficiency of ultrasound ( 80% ). | ||
