Abstract:
Objective:
To compare the diagnostic value of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in liver tumors.
Methods:
Retrospective selection of CT and MRI imaging data from 109 cases of liver tumors treated in our hospital from January 2020 to March 2023. The
selection was determined through pathological examination.
Results:
According to the pathological examination results, 61 cases were benign tumors, and 48 cases were malignant tumors. The hepatic portal flow
(HPF), hepatic artery perfusion index (HPI) and hepatic artery perfusion (HAF) of malignant tumors were significantly lower than in benign
tumors (P<0.05). The signal enhancement ratio of malignant tumors was significantly higher than in benign tumors, and the peak time was
significantly lower than in benign tumors (P<0.05). The sensitivity (97.92%) and accuracy (97.25%) of the combined examination were
significantly higher than those of MRI (83.33%, 90.83%) or CT alone (81.25%, 88.99%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
CT and MRI have high application value in the diagnosis and evaluation of liver tumors, and the combination of these two methods can further
improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, providing an objective reference for early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.
