Helical biphasic contrast-enhanced CT of the liver: technique, indications, interpretation, and pitfalls

JH Oliver 3rd and RL Baron
Department of Radiology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, PA 15213, USA.

Helical biphasic contrast-enhanced CT represents a considerable improvement in the detection of vascular liver neoplasms. When properly performed and with an awareness of the pitfalls in timing and associated pseudolesions, this technique substantially increases tumor detection and staging.
