Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of CT spectral imaging parameters in evaluating the liver function in patients with different types of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS),by comparing the normalized iodine concentration (NIC) and the slope of spectral curve in liver segment Ⅰ-Ⅷ,portal vein (PV),hepatic vein (HV),inferior vena cava (IVC) and spleen.Methods Eighty-one patients with BCS underwent spectral CT angiography.NIC,spectral decay curve and the slope of spectral curve of liver segment Ⅰ-Ⅷ in portal venous phase,PV,HV,IVC and spleen were measured and calculated.Clinical indicators of liver function including prothrombin time (PT),albumin (ALB),total bilirubin (TBIL),aspartate transaminase (AST),alanine transaminase (ALT) were recorded.Quantitative data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA.Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of liver NIC and clinical liver function indexes.Results PT and TBIL were negatively correlated with liver NIC and there was a positive correlation between ALB and liver NIC (P＜0.05).The differences of NIC among the three types of BCS in liver segment Ⅱ-Ⅵ,HV,IVC and spleen were statistically significant (P＜0.05) and the difference of slopes of the spectral curves among three types of BCS in liver segment Ⅱ-V and spleen was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined use of spectral CT multi-site and multi-parameter imaging may be useful in the evaluation of liver function in patients with BCS.
