Our aim was to compare retrospectively hepatic venous and delayed phase images for the detection of tumour washout during multiphasic multidetector row CT (MDCT) liver in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).30 cirrhotic underwent MDCT 90 days before transplantation. performed contrast medium administration arterial phases, were obtained at 12, 55 120 s after trigger threshold. Two radiologists qualitatively evaluated lesion attenuation. Tumour subjectively objectively....
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) represents a significant breakthrough in ultrasonography (US), and it is being increasingly used for the evaluation of focal liver lesions (FLLs). CEUS unique that allows non-invasively assessment perfusion real time throughout vascular phase, which has led to dramatic improvements diagnostic accuracy US detection characterization FLLs, choice therapeutic procedures, response. Currently, included as part suggested work-up including cirrhotic patients with...
Detection and characterization of focal lesions in the cirrhotic liver may pose a diagnostic dilemma.Several benign malignant be found along with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), exhibit typical or atypical imaging features.In this pictorial essay, we illustrate computed tomography magnetic resonance findings such as simple bile duct cysts, hemangioma, nodular hyperplasia-like nodules, peribiliary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, lymphoma, metastases, all which occur livers varying...
Hepatic adenoma is a rare benign epithelial tumor that usually encountered in young women who use oral contraceptives. It clinically significant because of the risk hemorrhage and its low-grade malignancy potential. Adenomas are mildly hypervascular at contrast-enhanced CT MR imaging, heterogeneous due to presence hemorrhage, necrosis, calcifications fat. The objective our study was illustrate imaging findings hepatic adenoma.
The aim of this study was to investigate the application [18F]FDG PET/CT images-based textural features analysis propose radiomics models able early predict disease progression (PD) and survival outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer (MCC) patients after first adjuvant therapy. For purpose, 52 MCC who underwent [18F]FDGPET/CT during restaging process therapy were analyzed. Follow-up data recorded for a minimum 12 months PET/CT. Radiomics from each avid lesion PET low-dose CT images...
to assess the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in characterization focal liver lesions (FLLs) incidentally discovered but indeterminate at gray-scale (US).one hundred forty-two consecutive patients with 174 FLLs (169 benign and 5 malignant) US, underwent CEUS after administration SonoVue. Two readers independently reviewed scans and: (1) classified each lesion as malignant or on a 5-point scale confidence by means definite diagnostic criteria; (2) provided if possible specific...
Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) has been employed in the treatment of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) early stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as curative treatments.To assess effectiveness and safety RFA patients with HCC compensated cirrhosis.A cohort 151 consecutive (122 Child-Pugh class A 29 B patients) treated were enrolled. Clinical, laboratory radiological follow-up data collected from time first RFA. single lesion was observed 113/151 (74.8%), two lesions 32/151 (21.2%), three...
