Normal Liver and Cirrhosis |
|
Parts of the liver changing in size reflecting disease. The first image reflects a normal liver In the second image the left lobe is relatively large while the right lobe is small. These finding are characteristic of alcoholic cirrhosis. Note the shape of the surface of the liver has also changed from being smooth to being nodular and the presence of aciteds reflects a combination of increased portal pressure and low proteins.

Colon Carcinoma with Metastases to the Liver
|
| The abdominal CT is from a middle aged female with right sided discomfort. The image reveals multiple space occupying lesions (light green) in the liver. The patient was found to have a primary colonic carcinoma. The capsule of the liver is involved by tumor extending to the surface of the liver and deforming the surface (dark green). The disease is also close to the diaphragm (maroon). The involvement of the liver capsule and possibly the right hemidiaphragm is likely the cause of the patients pain. There is also a small amount of ascites present (yellow) either as a response to involvement of the liver capsule or the early development of malignant ascites.
