A morphometric method to calculate liver volumes from transverse sections is evaluated (point-integrating method). In the first part of the study, 10 liver specimens were investigated by computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US); the calculated volumes were compared to the volumes obtained by wat

β¦ Synopsis
Four patients with macronodular tuberculosis of the liver were examined with ultrasonography. The findings included 1 case with multiple hypoechoic areas and 3 cases with a solitary lesion, one hypoechoic mass without calcifications, and two partially calcified masses. Some ultrasound features are suggestive: a mass with irregular calcifications, ascites, spleen enlargement with defects, enlarged nodes, and complete resolution of the lesions in a few months with effective antituberculous therapy.
The first case was also examinated with computed tomography.
