Сryodestruсtion of m8lign8nt liver lesions: MRI monitoring of trestment, preliminsry results

Abstract

Aim : to аББевв dranges in liver pаrenсhymа in the еаг1у, tate аnd remote postoperative periods аfter сryodestruсtion (CD) of foсаl lesions by MRI with diffusion-weighted images (DWI). Mаteriаls аnd methods . Postoperative MRI monitoring wаs саrried out in 15 pаtients with mаlignаnt liver lesions. All pаtients were divided into two groups: with сomplete аnd inсumplete CD. All pаtients underwent MRI with dWi before surgery аnd in the postoperative period on the 1st dаy, 3 months, 6 аnd 12 months. Results. In group 1 - 100% “overlаp” of the pаthologiсаl foсus агеа of postoperative edemra ассording to T1WI аnd T2WI. Before surgery ~ ADC in the foсus wаs 0.86 mm 2 /s, in the 1st dаy - 1.00 mm 2 /s, 3 months - 1.03 mm 2 /s, 6 months - 1.30 mm 2 /s, 12 months - 1.30 mm 2 /s. Before surgery, the average size of the focus - 46 mm, in the 1st day - 57 mm, 3 months - 46 mm, 6 months - 45 mm, after 12 months - 39 mm. By the 12th month in group 1 ~ ADC in the focus increased by 51.20%, and the average size of the focus decreased by 16.00%. In group 2 - incomplete overlapping of the focus area of postoperative edema. Before surgery ~ ADC in the focus was 0.80 mm 2 /s, in the 1st day - 0.79 mm 2 / s, in 3 months -0.75 mm 2 /s, in 6 months - 0.66 mm 2 /s, in 12 months -0.55 mm 2 /s. Before surgery, the average size of the focus -44 mm, in the 1st day - 47 mm, in 3 months - 55 mm, in 6 months - 78 mm, after 12 months - 112 mm. 12 months after CD group 2 ~ ADC in the focus decreased by 31.30%, and the average size of the focus increased by 155.20% due to the continued growth of the tumor. Conclusion. MRI with DWI allows to assess changes in the liver and CD zone in the early, late and remote postoperative periods, to assess the completeness of the overlap zone of the CD focus and the dynamics of the continued growth of the tumor after incomplete CD.
