Abstract
Imaging in gastroenterology.
Highlights
The authors examine a cohort of thirty-four consecutive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients (42 hepatic nodules), treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA), who underwent magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT)
All patients were enrolled in a research protocol that included CT with iodized contrast medium injection and MR with hepatospecific contrast medium injection and restaged within four weeks and at 3 months after ablation
Hepatospecific contrast-enhanced MRI seems to be more effective than multiphase CT in assessment of HCC treated with RFA
Summary
Radu Badea,1 Iwona SudoB-SzopiNska,2 Sebastian Mueller,3 Horia Ftefsnescu,4 and Monica Lupsor Platon1 T. Gorycki et al in the article entitled “Bile duct strictures caused by solid masses: MR in differential diagnosis and as a prognostic tool to plan the endoscopic treatment” assess the meaning of qualitative parameters counted from magnetic resonance (MR) plane images as well as from cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) including cases of bile duct obstructions caused by solid masses in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant conditions and as the prognostic factors for endoscopic treatment.
