OR

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

CT scan

• [Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of cholangiocarcinoma include:
  • The rate and extent of enhancement depends on the degree of central fibrosis.
  • Capsular retraction may be observed.
  • Bile ducts distal to the mass are typically dilated.
  • Narrowing of the portal veins or hepatic veins is observed.
  • Lobar or segmental hepatic atrophy is usually associated with vascular invasion
