Imaging of diffuse liver disease.

Imaging can play an important role in the diagnosis and planning of treatment for patients with diffuse liver disease. In certain entities, such as iron overload disorders, fatty change, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and schistosomiasis, the imaging findings are characteristic and diagnostic. In others, the findings are less specific, but imaging still has utility in assessment for associated changes of cirrhosis and portal hypertension. In either case, familiarity with these diffuse hepatic diseases and their expected imaging findings enables an organized and thoughtful assessment, with careful attention paid to the key diagnostic features and the important sequlae, such as portal hypertension and the development of HCC.
