Role of dual energy spectral computed tomography in characterization of hepatocellular carcinoma: Initial experience from a tertiary liver care institute

Abstract: This study reveals that spectral imaging is an excellent qualitative as well as a quantitative tool for assessing and predicting hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients.

“…31 Similarly, in hepatocellular carcinoma, DECT in one study predicted malignancy in lesions with an IC threshold of 2.95 (100 mg/ cm 3 ) in the arterial phase with 90.5% sensitivity and 81.2% specificity. 30 As in other tumours, quantitative iodine measurement can help discriminate between malignant and benign OTs as an alternative to contrast enhancement. IC positively correlates with the haemodynamics of OT, as the intravascular IC of the tumour (iodine being the main component of the contrast medium) reflects the perfusion of the tumour.…”

“…Так, S. T. Laroia и соавт. (2016) показали, что материал-специфические изображения отражают распределение и концентрацию данного материала в тканях независимо от присущего ей затухания [28]. Основные вещества, составляющие мягкие ткани (водород, кислород, углерод, азот) имеют более низкие атомные числа, чем кальций или другие элементы, присутствующие в следовых концентрациях (железо, медь, цинк, йод, марганец), а также экзогенно вводимые вещества, например, йод-и гадолиний-содержащие контрастные средства.…”
