Abstract:
51 patients with primary liver cell cancer determined by pathological anatomy or with liver tumors determined by ultrasound or CT image and AFP > 500ng/ml were investigated. Triphasic helical CT had detected diffused infiltration on 5 patients, multitumor on 20 and single tumor on 26 patients. On 46 patients with localized damage, there were 121 tumors sized 0.9-12.0 cm. Necrosis was common in > 5 cm tumors with a rate of 53.1%, but 21.5% if its size was not considered. Triphasic helical CT technique had reflexed the hemodynamic nature of the liver parenchyma and the primary liver cancer, therefore it gave prospective information helping the diagnosis and the decision of the treatment strategy.
