Improvements in imaging technology allow exploitation of the dual blood supply of the liver to aid in the identification and characterisation of both malignant and benign liver lesions. Imaging techniques available include contrast enhanced ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This review discusses the application of several imaging techniques in the diagnosis and staging of both hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma and outlines certain characteristics of benign liver lesions. The advantages of each imaging technique are highlighted, while underscoring the potential pitfalls and limitations of each imaging modality.
成像技术的进步使得利用肝脏的双重血液供应来辅助识别和表征肝脏良恶性病变成为可能。现有的成像技术包括超声造影、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像。本综述讨论了几种成像技术在肝细胞癌和胆管癌诊断及分期中的应用,并概述了肝脏良性病变的某些特征。文中突出了每种成像技术的优势,同时强调了每种成像方式潜在的陷阱和局限性。
