Abstract:
Objective To study the changes of imaging features of rats with implanted liver cancer before and after electrochemotherapy (EChT).Methods Immediate cancerous ascites injection method was used to form rats liver cancer model. The imaging features of rats with implanted liver cancer, including tumor size, density, border, enhancement and singal were observed with CT and MRI respectively. Results The characteristic magings showed all these rats bearing single, round tumor in liver seven days later. Low density lesions were seen in pre contrast scans and tumor border intensification were seen on contrast scans. Low signal lesions were found in MRI T 1WI and high signal lesions were revealed on MRI T 2WI. Seven days after EchT, low density lesions were seen in pre contrast scan and non enhanced appearences were seen in contrast scan by CT. High signal and mixed signal lesion were seen in MRI T 1WI and relative low signal lesion were seen in MRI T 2WI.Conclusions Imaging features analysis is useful to assess the therapeutic effect on rats with implanted liver cancer before and after EChT.
