by a needle biopsy.
Twenty five patients data was statistically analyzed

haemangioma were tabulated and there respective
percentage were computed and graphically represented.
The images was diagnosed by radiologists showed that
males are more affected than females and the group of
age between 51 to 70 more affected to the liver masses,
72% of the patients suffered liver metastasis, 16% of the
patients reflected Hepatocellular carcinoma and 12%

We can say that CT has an effective role in evaluating
of liver masses, but confirmation of the diagnosis need in
some of cases to take a biopsy from the liver to between
different types of masses.
