Differential Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma on Computed Tomography
نویسنده
چکیده
Multislice spiral CT is a perfect imaging modality to evaluate large area in a short time and visualize lesion optimally with an injection of contrast media (c/m). Scanning may include unenhanced images (without c/m), arterial, portal venous and delayed phases. The speed of contrast injection and optimal scanning protocol are crucial to separate all phases, what is very important in differential diagnostics of FLL.

متن کاملHepatocellular Adenoma Presenting as a Focal Liver Lesion in Cirrhosis
Hepatocellular adenoma is a benign neoplasm that almost always occurs in a histologically normal liver. We report the finding of a hepatocellular adenoma in the cirrhotic liver of a 56year-old female patient. A hypervascular nodule was detected by computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted as part of a pre-transplant evaluation. The patient subsequently underwe...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in detection of bone metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma
Bone scan is a well-established imaging modality in detection of osseous metastasis. However, its sensitivity decreases at evaluating lytic osseous metastasis in such entity as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increasingly, Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) with dual-time points imaging is utilized in detection of osseous metastasis from hepatocellular car...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT scan. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9 HCC patients with FDG-avid PVTT were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), which is a comb...
متن کاملCT-Value (△HU and CT-Value ratioin) differential diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma from focal nodular hyperplasia
Background: The objective was to explore the value of the CT value difference (△HU) and CT value ratio (CVR) between the hepatic arterial (AP), portal (PP), and delayed phases (DP) to differentiate the small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SHCC, ≤ 3 cm) from the small Focal nodular hyperplasia (SFNH, ≤ 3 cm). Materials and Methods: All the lesions were confirmed by clinically and/or pathologically an...
