Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of 320-slice CT in diagnosis and intervention treatment of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Retrospective analysis of 41 patients with HCC was performed,who underwent 320-slice CT three-phase scans and the CTA reconstruct before the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).The origins,the distributions and the branches of the abdominal arteries were observed,respectively.Compared to the images of the DSA,the tumor feeding artery and portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT)were analyzed.Results Compared to the images of the DSA,there was an obvious advantage in diagnosis of small HCC with the diameter <3 cm using the 320-slice CTA.However,there were no significant differences in display of hepatic artery variations,tumor feeding arteries and PVTT between the 320-slice CTA and the DSA.Conclusion The 320-slice CT and the CTA reconstruct can be helpful for more accurate diagnosis and evaluation for HCC,it can be used to direct the intervention treatment for HCC on basis of the images of the tumor feeding artery and PVTT.
