(Left) Coronal CECT reformation of a 52-year-old man with metastatic colon cancer shows marked enlargement of the liver with diffuse metastases throughout the right lobe image. (Right) Venous phase coronal CECT of a 27-year-old woman with leukemia and new onset of RUQ pain shows an enlarged and heterogeneous liver with distended hepatic veins image and IVC image due to passive congestion of the liver.

(Left) Longitudinal ultrasound in a 44-year-old man with a history of hepatitis B infection shows marked enlargement of the right lobe of the liver, extending caudally below the level of the kidney image.
