To evaluate the diagnostic value of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for hepatic focal solid lesions.
SPIO (Feridex)-enhanced MRI examination was performed in 28 cases of hepatic space-occupying lesions defined by CT or MRI or other methods. In post-contrast enhanced examination, the signal intensity and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured in lesions and normal hepatic parenchyma in T2-weighted images (T2WI) and were compared with those in pre-contrast enhanced MRI. The number and morphology of the lesions were visualized for qualitative diagnostic analysis.
In Feridex-enhanced MRI, the signal intensity of normal hepatic parenchyma was decreased while the CNR between lesions and normal liver tissues significantly improved in comparison with that in pre-contrast enhanced examination.
Feridex-enhanced T2WI examination significantly improves detection of hepatic lesions and is valuable in diagnosing hepatic focal solid lesions.
评估超顺磁性氧化铁(SPIO)增强磁共振成像(MRI)对肝脏局灶性实性病变的诊断价值。
对28例经CT、MRI或其他方法确诊的肝脏占位性病变患者进行SPIO(菲立磁)增强MRI检查。在对比增强检查后,测量T2加权像(T2WI)上病变及正常肝实质的信号强度和对比噪声比(CNR),并与对比增强前的MRI进行比较。观察病变的数量和形态以进行定性诊断分析。
在菲立磁增强MRI中,与对比增强前检查相比,正常肝实质信号强度降低,病变与正常肝组织之间的CNR显著提高。
菲立磁增强T2WI检查显著提高了肝脏病变的检出率,对肝脏局灶性实性病变的诊断具有重要价值。
