Abstract:
Objective To investigate mut-slice spiral CT(MSCT) and MRI features and correlated pathological basis of stasis cirrhosis.Methods MSCT and MRI findings of 35 patients with stasis cirrhosis (study group) and 35 patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis (control group) were studied retrospectively. Volume index of liver and spleen, caliber of hepatic vein and the number of regenerative nodules exceeded 5mm in diameter were measured.The contrast-enhanced patterns of liver parenchyma, contrast medium reflux, ascites, the number of varices and correlated abnormalities were reviewed.Results The volume indexes of liver and spleen, calibers of hepatic vein were (4434.95±1283.08) cm~3,(621.92±400.33) cm~3 and (3.61±0.81) cm in the study group,(2569.73±853.06) cm~3,(1275.61±727.51) cm~3 and (1.92±0.46) cm in the control group,respectively.The number of the patients showed waves of borderline, inhomogeneous pattern of parenchymal contrast enhancement, regenerative nodules exceeded 5mm in diameter, contrast medium reflux, varices and ascites were 5, 29, 17, 20, 16 and 6 cases in the study group,29,0,5,0,35 and 26 cases in the control group,respectively,there were statistic differences between the study group and control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion MSCT and MRI play a invaluable role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis and etiological diagnosis of stasis cirrhosis.
