Abstract:
:Hepatic calcifications, the most common causes of which are calcified granuloma and hydatid disease, occur infrequently. When present, however, they invariably indicate an abnormality, the nature of which may usually be determined by abdominal ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, or conventional contrast radiography.
