【摘要】 目的 探討肝臟血管平滑肌脂肪瘤(hepatic angiomyolipoma,HAML)的多層螺旋CT影像學表現特征及其與病理學基礎的相關性,以進一步提高CT診斷的準確性。 方法 收集2008年11月-2010年12月經手術病理證實的16例HAML患者。所有患者均行螺旋CT平掃及動脈期、門脈期增強檢查,重點觀察HAML的分型及其相應CT表現及影像-病理的相關性。 結果 16例患者共20個病灶,19個為稍低密度病灶,其中11個病灶內可見明顯的脂肪密度影;1個為稍高密度病灶。動脈期所有病灶均有不同程度的強化表現,15個病灶內可見到較明顯條狀及扭曲的血管影。門脈期15個病灶有持續強化。 結論 多層螺旋CT能準確反映HAML的分型及其病理特征,對臨床表現不典型患者的診斷和鑒別診斷有較大診斷價值。【Abstract】 Objective To discuss the correlation between the features of multislice spiral CT results for hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) and their pathological basis, and to further improve the diagnostic accuracy through CT examination. Methods Sixteen HAML patients diagnosed pathologically between November 2008 and December 2010 in our hospital were enrolled in our study. All patients underwent multi-slice spiral CT scanning of pre-and post-contrast arterial phase, and portal venous phase. Focus was put on observation of HAML types and their corresponding manifestations, and the correlation between CT imaging and the pathologic basis. Results There were 20 lesions in the 16 patients. Among the 19 hypodense lesions, 11 were clearly seen with fat density shadow. One out of the 20 lesions showed as slightly hyperdense. On the arterial phase scanning, all lesions showed enhancement, and obvious vascular shadow could be seen in15 lesions. On the portal venous phase, 15 lesions continued to strengthen. Conclusions Multi-slice spiral CT can accurately reflect the classification of HAML and its pathological features. It has a great value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of patients without typical clinical manifestations.
ObjectiveTo explore the value of gadobutrol enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in abdominal artery angiography.MethodsThe patients were prospectively included for gadobutrol enhanced MRA examination from December 2014 to December 2015. The image quality was assessed by two radiologists. The subjective score and signal intensity were measured for the large and medium arteries, and the subjective score for the small artery was recorded. The Kappa consistency analysis was used to assess the two radiologists’ subjective score.ResultsAll 112 patients were enrolled in this study, 96 of whom were included for the physical examination, 16 of whom were included for the liver tumors. No adverse reactions were found in these patients. The MRA images of 2 patients were affected by the severe respiratory artifact. The MRA images of the other 110 cases were clear and could well show the origins, shapes of large and medium arteries and small arteries. The subjective scores were 21.22±1.93 and 6.24±1.33 of the large and medium arteries and small arteries, respectively. The values of signal noise ratio and contrast signal noise ratio of the large and medium arteries were 1 093.27±331.71 and 897.27±333.29, respectively. The Kappa values of the two radiologists’ subjective score were 0.782 and 0.772 for the large and medium arteries and small arteries, respectively.ConclusionsGadobutrol enhanced MRA can clearly display large and medium arteries, and can also display some small arteries. It has a good application value in abdominal artery angiography.
