It features a new section on ultrasound and CT of the gallbladder, liver and spleen. Topics covered thickened gallbladder wall; focal anechoic masses in the liver; complex or solid massess in the liver; shadowing lesions in the liver; generalized abnormal echogenicity of the liver; focal decreased-attenuation masses in the liver; focal increased-attenuation mass in the liver on contrast-enhanced CT; and generalized abnormal attenuation of the liver.
