Overview
Hemangioma is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation. Investigations such as Ultrasound, CT scan or MRI are needed when hemagioma in organs is suspected. The gold standard for diagnosing lumbosacral hemangioma is MRI.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
Hemangioma is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation.
Diagnostic results
The following finding(s) on performing ultrasound or MRI (are) confirmatory for hemagioma seen in organs e.g. hepatic hemangioma.[1][2]
- Presence of peripheral enhancement of nodules on contrast ultrasound.
- Presence of smooth, well demarcated mass which has low signal on T1 and high intensity on T2 weighted images.
Sequence of Diagnostic Studies
The various investigations must be performed in the following order:
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
- There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of hemangioma.
