Magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated in 12 patients with hydatid disease (Echinococcus granulosus). Patients also underwent real time ultrasound and computed tomography imaging. Clear images of hepatic hydatid cysts were produced by magnetic resonance imaging, and intracyst structures were demonstrated. Changes in the appearance of cysts were seen following chemotherapy. Whilst not cost effective at present, if further improvements allow differentiation of simple (epithelial) and hydatid cysts or viable and dead hydatid cysts this technique could be of clinical value.
对12例包虫病(细粒棘球绦虫)患者进行了磁共振成像评估。患者还接受了实时超声和计算机断层扫描成像。磁共振成像产生了肝脏包虫囊肿的清晰图像,并显示了囊内结构。化疗后观察到囊肿外观的变化。虽然目前成本效益不高,但如果进一步改进能实现单纯(上皮性)囊肿与包虫囊肿或存活与死亡包虫囊肿的鉴别,这项技术可能具有临床价值。
