Abstract:
Objective To assess the clinical value of conventional contrast enhanced CT(CECT),multi parameter energy spectrum CT,and contrast enhanced MR(CEMR)imaging methods in evaluating hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after TACE treatment.Methods The clinical data of 66 HCC patients,who underwent TACE treatment at authors' hospital and received CECT,multi parameter energy spectrum CT and CEMR in 1-3 months after treatment,were retrospectively analyzed.Taking DSA results as the gold standard,the recurrent or residual lesions detected by DSA were classified as positive lesions,while the lesions having no obvious recurrence or residues were classified as negative lesions.The positive lesions that were detected by both DSA and other imaging methods were regarded as true positive lesions.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,Kappa value were used to compare the values of CECT,multi parameter energy spectrum CT and CEMR in evaluating the positive/negative lesions of HCC after TACE treatment,and the number of detected lesions and accuracy rate were used to evaluate the values of the above imaging methods in demonstrating the iodine oil deposition status and in diagnosing true positive lesions.Results A total of 133 positive lesions and 35 negative lesions were detected by DSA.The accuracy of CEMR in diagnosing lesions was highest,the accuracy rate was 88.70%(both P<0.05);CEMR and energy spectrum CT had the highest diagnostic efficiency,the sensitivity for positive lesions was 92.31%and 81.95%respectively,and the difference between the two methods was not statistically significant(P>0.05).No statistically significant difference in the ability of diagnosing negative lesions existed between each other among the three groups(all P>0.05).The Kappa value suggested that the ability for diagnosing lesions after TACE treatment of CEMR was stronger than that of energy spectrum CT(Kappa value was 0.68 and 0.56 respectively,both P<0.05).CECT and multi parameter energy spectrum CT had the same accuracy in evaluating the iodine oil deposition status(both were 91.7%).No statistically significant difference in diagnosing even iodine oil deposition of the true positive lesions existed between each other among the three groups(all P>0.05).For diagnosing uneven iodine oil deposition of the true positive lesions,CEMR had the highest accuracy(92.50%,all P<0.05).Conclusion CEMR and multi parameter energy spectrum CT have more reliable diagnostic performance than conventional CECT,besides,CEMR has the highest diagnostic performance.However,multi parameter energy spectrum CT and CECT are the better choice for evaluating the deposition status of iodine oil.
