CT Scanning in Identification of Sheep Cystic Echinococcosis

Figure 1

Imaging features of cystic echinococcocal cysts detected by CT. (a) CE1 was in a normally round or oval shape, with a size range of 1–10 cm. (b) Typical image of CE2 with “cyst in cyst,” “honeycomb-like,” or “rose petal” structures. (c) A typical image of CE3 with hydatid cyst wall turning thick and rough. The density of the cyst fluid increased and even showed a pot of calcification. (d) A typical image of CE4 with calcification in the partial cysts. (e) Image of CE5 with a thick calcified wall in the cyst.
