Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

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

  • Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of portal vein thrombosis include:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
    • CT scan without contrast:
      • Hyperattenuating material in the portal vein lumen
      • Absence of enhancement after contrast injection
    • CT scan with contrast:
      • Lack of luminal enhancement, increased hepatic enhancement in the arterial phase
      • Decreased hepatic enhancement in the portal phase
