肝门区胆管癌的MRI应用价值

目的探讨肝门区胆管癌(HC)的MRI检查技术及应用价值。方法HC34例所有病例均行MR一体化扫描,包括MR平扫、MRCP、MR动态增强血管成像(3D-DCE-MRA),并作出能否手术切除的评价,与手术结果相对照。结果34例HC均可见肝门肿块、肝内胆管扩张、肝门胆管中断,动态增强扫描31例表现为延迟强化,3D-DCE-MRA中6例在动脉期表现为螺旋样动脉,18例可见门静脉受侵,表现为门脉侧壁浸润、门脉缩窄或闭塞,MRI对能否手术切除评估的准确性为88.2%(30/34)。结论MRI检查能充分显示HC病变及其侵犯范围,对HC进行准确的诊断和术前评估。

Evaluation of MRI in Diagnosing Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of MRI in the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC). Methods: Thirty-four cases of HC were examined with 1.5T super-conduct MR unit. The plain MRI and MRCP were followed by dynamic Gd-DTPA (0.1 mmol/kg) contrast-enhanced scanning, which was repeated at 30 s intervals in the first 3 min with the patient being remained in the same position. Delayed scanning was done at 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 min respectively. 3D- DCE-MRA was performed in arterial and portal venous phase with an additional bolus injection of 15-20 mL Gd-DTPA (0.15-0.20 mmol/kg). The contrast time-signal curve of both the liver and the tumor was drawn from DCE imaging, and both arterial and portal venous phase imaging were reconstructed with MIP. MRI findings were compared with surgical findings and pathology. Results: Hilar lesion, intrahepatic ducts dilatation and disconnect of main hepatic duct were shown in all cases. Thirty-one cases had tumor-delayed enhancement. In 3D-DCE-MRA, spiral artery deformed was displayed in 6 cases, infiltration, encasement or occlusion of portal vein was displayed in 18 cases. The accuracy of assessing tumor unresectability and resectability by preoperative MRI was 95.0% (19/20) and 78.6% (11/14) respectively. The total accuracy rate of MRI assessing was 88.2% (30/34). Conclusion: All-in-one MR, including plain MR, MRCP, MR DCE and 3D-DCE-MRA, can accurately show the lesions and involvement of neighbouring tissues. It was of great value in diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of HC.
