MRI for the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 MRI for the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver, MRI diagnosis of the disease has its unique advantages. The MRI diagnosis of the disease have been reported in the literature more. With CT, B super-making comparative analysis to explore the diagnostic value of MRI in less reported in the literature. Now be confirmed by surgery and pathology in our hospital, or more complete information on clinical diagnosis of 30 cases with CT, B-ultrasonic examination for comparative analysis to explore the diagnostic value of MRI of the disease. 1 Materials and methods 1.l collected in our hospital since 1994, confirmed by surgical pathology or clinical diagnosis of 30 cases of hemangioma. Male and 22 cases, female 8 cases. Age 36 to 77 years, an average of 46.5 years. Of clinical symptoms found in 14 cases by physical examination, upper abdominal pain in 7 cases, right upper abdominal discomfort in 5 cases, due to other discomfort for examination revealed in 4 cases. MRI examination of 30 cases were done, doing B ultrasonic examination in 22 cases, do CT examination in 12 cases, three kinds of checks in two weeks to complete. 1.2 Methods: MRI-examine the company’s production capacity 0.5T superconductive ELscint. Conventional axial line of the liver and respiratory gating coronal T1WI and T2WI scan. SE sequence. TIWITR/TE400 ~ 600ms/20ms. T2WI with 2500 ~ 3600ms/80ms, multi-echo sequence with the 3000 ~ 4000ms/30, 80,120 ms. Signal strength in the normal liver tissue signal as the standard signal of liver lesions similar to other signal, the lower signal than the liver as a lower signal, the signal liver tissue was significantly lower than those for low-signal; signal than liver less than subcutaneous those for the slightly fat signal, equal to those for the high signal of subcutaneous fat, higher than the subcutaneous fat were significantly higher for the signa
