Abstract

Modern chemotherapy may result in an array of complications that can produce computed tomography (CT) findings in the hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal and urinary systems. This article describes the CT findings that may be seen in abdominal complications of contemporary chemotherapy. Knowledge of the varying CT appearances that can be encountered may facilitate both diagnosis and management in such cases.
