Clinical application of measurement of liver volume by multi-slice spiral CT

Objective: To discuss the clinical application value of multi-slice spiral CT in etiological diagnosis of senile acute abdomen. Methods: To select 80 cases of elderly patients with acute abdomen received treatment from June 2006 to August 2012 in our hospital. Among them, 40 patients were diagnosed by multi-slice spiral CT technique and considered as CT group; 40 patients were diagnosed by liver MRI technology and considered as MRI group. The diagnostic accuracy and adverse reaction rate of two groups were compared, and the comparison results were analyzed statistically using SPSS statistical software. Result: The diagnosis rate of CT group was significantly higher than that of MIR group, while the adverse reaction rate was significantly lower than that of MIR group, p < 0.05, with statistical significance. Conclusion: multi-slice spiral CT can accurately diagnose the cause of senile acute abdomen. It has important clinical significance for the treatment of senile acute abdomen, and it has clinical application value.

Background: To discuss the technique of 64-slice spiral CT subtraction angiography (64-SCTSA) in head and neck, and evaluate its clinical application. Patients and methods: 84 patients suspected of head-neck vascular diseases were examined with 64-SCTSA. The examination techniques, image quality and clinical application were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnoses of 64-SCTSA were compared with those of surgery or DSA. Results: Eighty-four subjects were successfully examined with 64-SCTSA, whose scanning and imaging parameters are effective. Image quality was excellent in 51 cases (60.7 %), good in 29 (34.5 %) and acceptable in 4 (4.8 %). In the 84 subjects, 79 cases were found abnormal in blood vessel (58 in head and 21 in neck), of which 57 were confirmed by surgical operation or digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Conclusions: 64-SCTSA is a feasible technique with satisfactory image quality and has the advantages of showing the lesions of vasculature without shelter from bone. It can improve the diagnostic accuracy in head-neck vascular diseases.

Purpose: To quantify liver metastases and future remnant liver (FRL) volumes in patients who underwent right portal vein embolization (RPVE) and to evaluate the effects of this procedure on metastase growth. Material and Methods: Nine patients with liver metastases from primary colon (n = 5), rectal lesions (n = 1) and carcinoid tumors (n = 3) underwent spiral CT to evaluate the ratio of the non-tumorous parenchymal volume of the resected liver to that of the whole liver volume (R2). Hand tracing was used to isolate the entire liver, the resected liver and metastase volumes. All patients with R2 > 60% underwent RPVE. Results: FRL exhibited a 101–336 cm3 (average 241 cm3) increase in volume 1 month after RPVE. One patient refused surgery for 2 months and before surgery the increase in volume of the FRL was similar to that of other patients (180.64 cm3). Percent metastases volume from colorectal carcinoma in embolized liver parenchyma increased from 62.4% to 138.4% at 1 month and to 562% at 2 months after RPVE. Metastase volume from carcinoid tumors was unchanged. Conclusion: One month after RPVE, hypertrophy of the FRL is evident. In the embolized liver, there was a progressive increase in metastase volume from colorectal carcinoma while metastase volume from carcinoid tumor was unchanged in embolized and non-embolized liver.
