Two patients were admitted to the Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya with amoebic liver abscess. In both cases the abscess cavity was visualized on liver tomograms taken immediately after infusion of Urografin 30% (sodium and methylglucamine salts of tri-iodobenzoic acid). Certain radiographic findings using this technique suggest that it may be specific for amoebic liver abscess, although further study is necessary.
