ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the value of biphasicmulti-detector row helical computed tomogrpahy(MDCT),digital subtraction angiography(DSA)and lipiodol computed tomography(CT)in hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods 80 cases with liver cancer were underwent MDCT、DSA、iodized oil CT scan,then compared detection rates of three methods.Results In detecting hepatic nodules(＞2cm),these three imaging techniques had the same sensitivity;for 1～2cm hepatic nodules,the detecting rate had no significant difference;The MDCT scan＜1cm detected 47 nodules(94.0%),iodized oil CT detected 27 nodules(54.0%),both statistically significant difference in detection rate(χ~2=3.11,P＜0.01),DSA is only detected 16 nodules(32.0%)compared with enhanced dual-phase MDCT scan and iodized oil CT detection rate the differences were statistically significant(χ~2=9.09,9.03,all P＜0.01).Conclusion MDCT is able to better show feeding arteries of hepatocellular carcinoma,The imaging examination of liver cancer before treatment can be used as a comprehensive evaluation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of multislice spiral CT(MSCT,)in interventional therapy of the hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)emphasising on transcatheter hepanc arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods MSCT were performed in 60 cases of HCC before interventional procedure,CT findings of hepatic artery phase,portal venous phase and hepatic venous phase were observed respectively,among which CTA were done in 15 cases,and the anatomy of celiacartery and its branches were observed in 45 cases.The schemes of interventional therapy were worked out according to the findings of MSCT.Results MSCT showed 250 lesions,10 cases of tumor thrombosis in portal vein and 19 cases of hepatic arterioportal shunt.There was no significant difference between MSCT and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)in positive rate of in showing number of tumor or tumor thrombosis in portal vein(P＞0.05),but the 3D construction of celiac artery branches in CTA was better than that in DSA,while angles between celiac artery and abdominal aorta in MSCT were more convenient than that in DSA.MSCT showed 5 eases of hepatic artery original abnormality,according to that in DSA.Conclusion MSCT is of importance for guidance of interventional therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.
