Abstract

Objective To investigate the 16-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging features of liver cirrhosis.Methods CT perfusion imaging of liver was performed in 37 participants, including 25 patients with liver cirrhosis and 12 healthy adults as control group.The hepatic blood flow parameters were obtained and compared with Child classifications.Results As comparing to control group,blood flow(BF),blood volume(BV)decreased,and hepatic arterial fraction(HAF) increased gradually,but mean transit time(MTT) changed little with cirrhosis from Child A to C.Conclusion CT perfusion imaging is valuable in evaluating and grading liver cirrhosis early.
