abstract：:Computed tomography of the liver was performed on two patients with subacute hepatitis. The CT findings included the presence of multiple regenerative nodules in the atrophied liver, shown by decreased CT attenuation. Complications due to hepatitis, such as massive ascites and splenomegaly, were also observed. The CT ...
