Abstract

The triphasic spiral liver computed tomography (CT) method is a standard way to find and describe a wide range of benign and cancerous liver lesions. This helps bring down the rates of death and illness among people with liver disease. Objective: To evaluate liver diseases in real time using Triphasic imaging procedure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Al-Amin Diagnostic Center, Chattha Hospital, and Gondal Hospital. Before Triphasic CT Scan, each patient completed a form of written informed consent. A total of 65 people were examined. All diagnosed with various liver illnesses, as well as their findings were reviewed using Triphasic liver CT Scan. The typical patient was 53.5 years old. Patients' eligibility was determined using inclusion criteria. Results: The majority of data population was male 39 (60%) and female 26 (40%). The majority of the findings included Portal vein thrombosis 6 (9.2%) liver lesion 5 (7.7%), ascitis 3 (4.6%), cirrhosis of liver 6 (9.2% ), Hepatocellular carcinoma 12 (18.46% ), Dilated CBD 4 (6.2% ), cholilithiasis 8 (12.3%), portal hypertension 5 (7.7%), hepatic Mets 6 (9.2%), Hepatic contusion 6 (9.2%), Right lobe nodules 3 (4.6%), segment 8 tumor 1 (1.5%). Conclusions: Computer tomography is a useful modality for identifying liver pathology. sixty-five patients in this study were aged 30-84 years (60%) male and (40%) female and were found to have a greater incidence of hepatic cellular carcinoma in the liver (12) (18.46%) and it is more affected in males than females
