Estratto

Il fegato rappresenta uno degli organi maggiormente studiati in diagnostica per immagini. Le procedure interventistiche percutanee imaging-guidate sono spesso presenti nell’iter diagnostico e terapeutico della patologia epatica. Quando e perché ricorrere alle procedure interventistiche percutanee per la diagnosi ed il trattamento della patologia epatica viene correttamente stabilito se risultano accurate la caratte-rizzazione ed il bilancio di malattia (planning pre-procedura) alla diagnostica per immagini, che viene utilizzata anche per i successivi controlli (follow-up).
