不同程度肝纤维化的肝脏多层螺旋CT灌注成像初步研究

目的 探讨多层螺旋CT灌注成像在肝纤维化早期诊断中的应用价值.方法 33例受检者接受多层螺旋CT肝脏灌注成像检查,其中11例为无明显肝脏疾病的志愿者(对照组),22例经肝脏穿刺活检证实为肝纤维化患者,根据Ishak评分系统再分为轻度肝纤维化组(10例)和显著肝纤维化组(12例).计算各组的各项灌注指标并进行组间比较.结果 对照组、轻度肝纤维化组和显著肝纤维化组的肝动脉分数(HAF)晕升高趋势,均值分别为(18.49±9.69)%、(19.92±6.01)%、(21.31±7.47)%;平均通过时间(MTT)则呈降低趋势.三组的均值分别为(13.80±2.60)s、(12.35±1.31)s和(12.19±3.33)s.对照组、轻度肝纤维化组和显著肝纤维化组的平均血流量(BF)值分为(107.77±37.80)ml·100 g-1·min-1、(114.54±25.81)ml·100 g-1·min-1和(111.98±19.81)ml·100 g-1·min-1;平均血容量(BV)值分别为(16.61±5.78)ml·100 g-1、(17.07±2.94)ml·100 g-1和(16.42±5.53)ml·100 g-1.统计结果显示各组平均HAF、MTT、BF及BV值的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).结论 CT肝脏灌注可定量测量各项肝脏血流灌注参数,一些灌注值的变化对肝纤维化分期具有一定程度的参考价值,但尚不能有效地进行肝纤维化的早期诊断.

Assessment of liver fibrosis in different degree: preliminary study on multi-slice CT perfusion imaging

Objective To evaluate the role of multi-slice CT (MSCT) perfusion in early diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Methods Thirty-three subjects underwent CT perfusion of the liver. Among whom, 11 subjects were volunteers without hepatic disease and the other 22 subjects were pathologically confirmed with liver fibrosis who were further divided into slight (n= 10) and severe (n=12)liver fibrosis according to the lshak system. Parameters of CT perfusion were measured and compared among three groups. Results The mean hepatic arterial fraction in controls, light and severe fibrosis tended to increase with the severity of liver fibrosis[(18. 49 ± 9. 69) %, (19. 92 ± 6.01) % and (21.31±7.47)% ,respectively], and the mean mean transit time tended to decrease with the severity of liver fibrosis [(13.80 ± 2. 60) s, (12.35 ± 1.31) s and (12.19 ± 3.33) s, there was no significant difference in all parameters between any two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Quantitative measurement of hepatic blood supply can be obtained by CT perfusion. Some parameters will be helpful in staging fibrosis to a certain extent. But its clinical usefulness for the evaluation of the early diagnosis may not be affirmed yet.
