Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between arterial iodine fraction ( AIF) obtained with energy spectrum CT and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the Child-Turcotte-Pugh of hospitalized 80 patients diagnosed as liver cirrhosis (15 cases of Child -A,40 cases of Child -B,and 25 cases of Child-C) and CT examination results.HD750 spectral three-stage CT scanning was conducted in all patients.AIF was calculated with energy spectrum analysis software,and the correlation between AIF and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis was explored.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the iodine content of hepatic artery and portal vein among different groups(t=1.786,P>0.05).The hepatic artery iodine score pair-wise analysis among different groups showed that the differences were statistically significant(F=30.45,P<0.05). The hepatic artery iodine score was highest in Child-Pugh C group,secondary in Child-Pugh B group and lowest in Child-Pugh A group.AIF and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis was significantly correlated.Conclusion AIF of liver cirrhosis reveals the state of liver function and is correlated with Child-Pugh staging,thus can be adopted as a supplement in clinical Child-Pugh staging.
