Prospective comparison of cone beam C-Arm CT based parenchymal liver blood volume (PLBV) and dynamic volume perfusion CT (dVPCT) measurements in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) with drug-eluting beads (DEB).
In 16 patients, changes of PLBV and dVPCT measurements [arterial liver parenchyma (ALP); temporal maximum intensity projection (MIP); hepatic perfusion index (HPI); portal venous parenchyma] were correlated to one another and to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST).
After TACE, the following parameters showed a statistically significant change (p<0.05) in mean value: PLBV: -4.85 ml/100 ml, ALP: -4.14 ml/100 ml/min, MIP: -0.23 Houndsfield units, HPI: -5.39%, and mRECIST: -20.53 mm. Pre-to-post TACE differences in PLBV showed only weak to very weak correlation to dVPCT parameters (r<0.24).
Although PLBV and dVPCT parameters showed only a weak to very weak correlation, both methods validly assessed changes in arterial tumor vascularity after DEB TACE.
对接受载药微球(DEB)经动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)的肝细胞癌(HCC)患者,基于锥形束C型臂CT测量的肝实质血容量(PLBV)和动态容积灌注CT(dVPCT)测量结果进行前瞻性比较。
对16例患者,PLBV和dVPCT测量结果的变化[肝动脉实质(ALP);时间最大密度投影(MIP);肝灌注指数(HPI);门静脉实质]相互关联,并与实体瘤改良疗效评价标准(mRECIST)相关联。
TACE术后,以下参数的平均值出现统计学显著变化(p<0.05):PLBV:-4.85 ml/100 ml,ALP:-4.14 ml/100 ml/min,MIP:-0.23亨氏单位,HPI:-5.39%,mRECIST:-20.53 mm。TACE术前至术后PLBV的差异与dVPCT参数仅显示弱至非常弱的相关性(r<0.24)。
虽然PLBV和dVPCT参数仅显示弱至非常弱的相关性,但两种方法均有效评估了DEB TACE术后动脉肿瘤血管的变化。
