Worldwide, computed tomograpy (CT) is undoubtedly the imaging modality of choice for studying the liver. The development of helical (spiral) computed tomography during the last decade and the introduction of, more recently, multi-detectorCT, has resulted in several significant improvements. Furthermore, advances in software development have transformed historically experimental post-processing applications into feasible and routinely useable tools. In this article, we will focus on the relevant technical principles of helical CT, both mono-detector and multi-detector, in order to address the advantages and limitations of currently available CT equipment. In addition, we will discuss the main clinical applications of CT imaging of the liver.
