Brief summary
Role Of Multi-detector Computed Tomography In Differentiation Between Different Types Of Ascites
Detailed description
1. To detect accuracy of MDCT in differentiation between different types of ascites and its underlying cause . 2. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of measuring the CT density of the ascitic fluid (in Housefield units) to differentiate between different types of ascites in comparison to aspiration cytology results.
