Abstract

Objective

This pictorial essay reviews the imaging appearance and differential diagnosis of hepatic adenomatosis.

Conclusion

In addition to such entities as multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma, metastases, and multiple focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatic adenomatosis should also be considered when confronted with multiple hypervascular liver lesions. Certain CT and MRI features can strongly suggest the diagnosis of adenomatosis.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
