Brief Summary

Role Of Multi-detector Computed Tomography In Differentiation Between Different Types Of Ascites

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Ascites	Device: Detection of ascites using CT

Detailed Description

1. To detect accuracy of MDCT in differentiation between different types of ascites and its underlying cause .

2. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of measuring the CT density of the ascitic fluid (in Housefield units) to differentiate between different types of ascites in comparison to aspiration cytology results.
