Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical values of 18 F-FDG imaging in screening of the recipients with liver transplantation.Methods By using positron emission tomography, 16 case of hepatocellular carcinoma and 21 case of hepatic cirrhosis with discompensation were subjected to 18 F-FDG imaging. The obtained images were fused with CT images. According to the result of the abnormal 18 F-FDG uptake in 18 F-FDG imaging and image fusion with CT imaging, extrahepatic malignant tumor was judged. The initial routine examinations showed no extrahepatic malignant tumor in these 37 cases , including primary extrahepatic carcinoma and extrahepatic metastasis of liver carcinoma.Results Among the 21 case of hepatic cirrhosis with discompensation, there were 5 cases of extrahepatic primary carcinoma and metastasis. In 16 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, there were 7 cases of extrahepatic metastasis.Conclusion 18 F-FDG positron emission tomography imaging can find the extrahepatic carcinomas which can not be discovered by other examinations, which can provide more information for screening of the recipients undergoing liver transplantation.
