Correlation study of multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging in liver cirrhosis and portal morphology

Objective To discuss correlation of hemodynamic changes and portal vein diameter with multi-slice spiral CT peffusion imaging in liver cirrhosis. Method 31 cases liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this study. The first porta hepatis were selected for target lay of CT perfusion scan. Liver perfusion parameters were obtained by color perfusion map method. Right to left diameter and occipitofrontal diame-ter of portal vein were measured. 30 cases of normal persons were used as control group. Result Hepatic arterial perfusion (HAP) in liver 0.05). Hepatic perfusion index (HPI) were (19.13±3.33)% and (20.61±8.56)%, which had no statistically significant difference with the other two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Multi-spiral CT perfnsion imaging is an effectively noninvasive method to evaluate the hemodynamic changes of liver cirrhosis. Occipitofrontal diameter of portal vein with liver cirrhosis can reflect the state of liver hemodynamics. Key words: Liver cirrhosis/RA; Tomography,spiral computed; Portal vein/AH
