A member asked:
Cta chest incidentally revealed liver angioma. would a steatosis also be visible? someone told me no, as with contrast different liver visualization

No: a liver angioma should be benign and needs no RX. A fat tumor probably wouldn't show up on CTA

It depends: Liver angiomas are common. They are benign. A fatty liver can usually be detected on CT. See your Provider and get a full report.
