Transient Hepatic Attenuation Difference (THAD)– A Case Report

Abstract

Transient hepatic attenuation difference (THAD) are areas of increased parenchymal enhancement visible during the hepatic arterial phase on hepatic CT. THADs are associated with a large variety of liver disorders-Portal or hepatic vein thrombosis, cirrhosis, Budd- Chiari syndrome, biliary obstruction, trauma ,focal hepatic lesions and aberrant blood supply. THADs that are associated with hepatic tumors are generally characteristic of malignant tumors. However, benign focal lesions, such as hemangiomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, pyogenic abscess and focal eosinophilic necrosis, may accompany THADs.
