Abstract:
Objective To investigate the calcification characteristics and biological activity of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis(HAE). Methods Retrospective analysis of 60 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2016 to April 2017 with hydatid positive or surgical pathology confirmed HAE.All patients underwent abdominal CT scan and double-phase enhanced PET-CT examination were confirmed with single lesion.The CT and PET-CT features were analysed,and the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) of the focal lesion on the PET-CT was measured. According to the calcification,HAE patients were divided into A,B,C type.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the difference of SUVmax between lesions of different HAE types. Results Sixty patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis were evenly divided into A,B and C by different calcifications.The median SUVmax of A,B and C were 3.41(2.17 to 3.75),7.45(6.77 to 9.01)and 6.67(6.28 to 9.01),respectively.The median SUVmax within three types was statistically significant (χ2=4.429, P<0.05). Conclusion The biological activity of different HAE calcifications is different.
