Overview

Systematic review finds triphasic CT's high sensitivity of 98.3% for malignant lesions in cirrhotic patients, suggesting strong diagnostic utility.

Key Points

  • Triphasic CT shows exceptional diagnostic accuracy, with an average accuracy of 94.3% for liver lesions.
  • Pooled sensitivity for malignant lesions stands at 98.3%, while specificity is at 82.9%, indicating reliable detection.
  • The systematic review used 11 studies, assessing diagnostic performance against histopathology as the gold standard.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of clinical utility and recommend further prospective multicentric validation.
