Generalized low attenuation around the liver, in keeping with peri-hepatic fat. Non-specific bowel gas pattern.
Case Discussion
The clinical team performed this examination and were concerned that the low attenuation around the liver was gas and indicated perforation. They requested a CT to determine the source of perforation.
In fact, it is just perihepatic fatty deposition - a CT wasn't necessary!
