Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of dual-source CT perfusion imaging in evaluation of liver fibrosis stage.Methods Liver fibrosis models were established with 35 rabbits (experimental group)which were intraperitoneally injected with carbon tetra-chloride.Meanwhile,other 5 rabbits were regarded as control group which were intraperitoneally inj eced with physiological saline.7 rabbits of experimental group and 1 of control group were undergone dual-source CT perfusion scan at 4,6,8,10,12 weeks respec-tively.Arterial liver perfusion (ALP),portal venous perfusion (PVP),total hepatic perfusion (THP),hepatic perfusion index (HPI)were recorded,and staging of liver fibrosis were assessed by pathological method.Results With the increase of liver fibrosis degree,HPI showed an upward trend,whereas PVP was opposite.HPIs of S2,S3 and S4 stage were significantly different com-pared to that of control group respectively.The differences of HPI between S3,S4 stage to S0 and S1 stage were significant.PVP between S2,S3,S4 stage to S0 stage and S1 stage were also significant different.Conclusion HPI and PVP can reflect the perfu-sion changes of liver fibrosis stages.Combination of HPI and PVP may help the diagnosis of S2,S3 or S4 stage of liver fibrosis.
