血吸虫性肝病MRI研究进展

血吸虫肝病是严重危害人类生命健康的寄生虫病，可导致肝纤维化、肝硬化，晚期可并发肝功能障碍及肝癌。因此早期发现和确诊血吸虫肝病，对制定治疗方案、监测病变程度和病情发展及判断预后等均有重要作用。MR成像对血吸虫肝病的诊断有较高的敏感性和特异性，就常规MRI、动态对比增强MRI及功能MRI在血吸虫肝病的研究现状和进展予以综述。

The progress of MRI application in hepatic schistosomiasis

Hepatic schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which seriously threatens the health of human beings and may cause hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis, even hepatosis or liver cancer in advanced stage. Early detection and diagnosis of hepatic schistosomiasis are important in planning treatment, monitoring the severity and progression, and assessing prognosis, etc. MRI has rather high sensibility and specificity in the diagnosis of the hepatic schistosomiasis. We reviewed the research status and progress of MRI, especially fMRI, in the diagnosis of the hepatic schistosomiasis.
