Abstract
With spiral computed tomography (SCT) relatively large organs such as the liver can be scanned entirely during the phase of maximal parenchymal enhancement, which improves the detection of hypovascular lesions. Hypervascular lesions and vascular anomalies however can be missed if they become iso-attenuating at the time of scanning.
