Abstract: 50 known cases of Cirrhosis were evaluated by Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) to detect various intrahepatic and extrahepatic manifestations of Cirrhosis. Four scans of hepatic parenchyma were obtained after the administration of contrast material. The Late arterial, Portal venous, Nephrogenic and Delayed phases were acquired with a 35-40 sec, 60 sec, 100 sec and 5 min delay time respectively, after contrast material injection. Hepatic surface irregularity, Ascites & Splenomegaly are commonly seen and well detected on MDCT. Collateral formation and portal vein thrombosis, Regenerative and Dysplastic nodules are well diagnosed on MDCT. Hepatocellular Carcinoma is well detected and confirmed on MDCT study. MDCT Scan is highly Sensitive and Specific for diagnosis of complications of cirrhosis like Hepatocellular carcinoma, Portal vein- hepatic vein & splenic vein thrombosis, Collateral formation, Retroperitoneal edema and Bowel wall thickening.
