Abstract

Original
By consensus, routine chest computed tomography and bone scans are performed in hepatoma patients during liver transplant evaluation. A multicenter study shows that such a policy offers a very low yield and incurs substantial charges. The invasive procedures required to assess indeterminate findings of the scans pose additional risk in patients with coagulopathy.
