The Accidental Discovery That Sodium Diatrizoate (Hypaque®) Infusion Will Visualize Amebic Abscesses on Hepatic Tomograms

S. Chang^*, W. Hildebrandt AND S. E. Silvis

Two cases of successfully treated amebic liver abscess are reported in which hepatic tomograms following intravenous infusion of Hypaque® visualized the walls of amebic abscesses. The low incidence of amebic abscess in this area prevents further evaluation of this finding in our hospital. With more clinical experience, the authors suggest that this technique might be of value of diagnosing amebic abscess of the liver.
