Overview
CT scan
- [Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
- Non-contrast CT scan for detecting hepatic steatosis:[1][2]

- Hypertrophy of the caudate lobe of the liver
- Hypertrophy of the lateral segment of the left lobe
- Parenchymal nodularity
- Attenuation of hepatic vasculature
- Splenomegaly
- Venous collaterals
