Abstract:
Authors implemented the study to find characteristics of Doppler ultrasonic images in patients with HCC. This is a prospective study and carried out in B¹ch Mai Hospital. In the study on 15 patients, who had positive diagnosis of HCC, were selected. All of them underwent Doppler ultrasound and hepatic arteriography. Intra-tumoral and peri-tumoral flow is found with Doppler U.S 86.6% of tumors compared to the results of hepatic arteriography. The average peak velocity of hepatic artery and intratumoral artery is 83.3 and 57.2 cm/s respectively. The resistive Index is from 0.4 to 0.88 in intratumoural vessels.
