Comparative analysis of the diagnostic value of multi-phase contrast-enhanced CT and MRI in small liver cancer
Objective:To observe the diagnostic value of multi-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in small hepatocellular carcinoma(SHCC).Methods:A total of 70 SHCC patients who were admitted to Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from April 2019 to June 2021 and confirmed through pathological examination were selected,all of whom underwent MRI and CT to evaluate their detection rates.Results:Pathological examination showed a total of 80 lesions in 70 SHCC patients,with a total detection rate of 96.25%on MRI,significantly higher than 81.25%on CT,P<0.05.In MRI examination,55 cases(71.43%)of T1W1 were detected,59 cases(76.62%)of T2W1 were detected,68 cases(88.31%)were detected in arterial phase,44 cases(57.14%)were detected in portal phase,and 58 cases(75.32%)were detected in balance phase.The detection rate of the arterial phase in contrast-enhanced scanning was relatively high.In CT examination,38 cases(58.46%)were detected in plain scan,57 cases(87.69%)in the arterial phase,40 cases(61.54%)in portal phase,and 46 cases(70.77%)in the equilibrium phase.The detection rate of the arterial phase in the enhanced scan was relatively high.Conclusion:Compared to CT,MRI has a higher detection rate in diagnosing SHCC and can provide a reliable early diagnostic basis,which is worth promoting.
