    肝细胞癌TACE术后残余活性肿瘤血流动力学的能谱CT研究

    Study on the Hemodynamics of Residual Viable Tumor in Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Transarterial Chemoembolization Using Dual-energy Spectral CT

    • 摘要:
      目的: 评估肝细胞癌(HCC)经动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)术后残余活性肿瘤(RVT)的能谱CT(DEsCT)与CT灌注(CTP)成像参数的相关性,探讨DEsCT对RVT血流动力学的反映价值。
      方法: 回顾性纳入78名TACE治疗后4~6周行一站式能谱联合低剂量灌注CT扫描的HCC患者。测量并计算术后残余活性肿瘤(RVT)动脉期、门静脉期的碘浓度(ICAP,ICPVP)、标准化碘浓度(NICAP,NICPVP)、肿瘤碘摄取比值(TURAP,TURPVP)、能谱曲线斜率(λHU APλHU PVP)、碘浓度比率(IC ratio)等DEsCT参数。测量RVT的肝动脉分数(HAF)、血流量(BF)、血容量(BV)、肝动脉血流量(Hep.BF)等CTP参数。应用Spearman相关性分析评估两组参数间的相关性。以r>0.25,P<0.05为有统计学差异。
      结果: RVT的DEsCT参数ICAP、NICAPλHU AP、TURAP、NICPVP、IC ratio与HAF、BF、Hep.BF等CTP参数呈良好相关(0.4 < r < 0.9),其中IC ratio与HAF的相关性最强(r=0.868)。本扫描方案的剂量长度乘积(DLP)为(1389.06±69.32)mGy·cm,有效辐射剂量为(20.84±1.04)mSv。
      结论: HCC TACE术后RVT的DEsCT多参数与CTP参数显著相关,可作为反映RVT血流动力学的有价值影像学指标。

       

      Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the correlation between dual-energy spectral CT (DEsCT) and CT perfusion (CTP) parameters in residual viable tumor (RVT) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to explore the value of DEsCT in assessing the hemodynamics of RVT. Methods: 78 HCC patients who underwent one-stop dual-energy spectral combined with low-dose CT perfusion scans 4-6 weeks after TACE were retrospectively enrolled. DEsCT parameters were measured and calculated in RVT, including arterial and portal venous phase iodine concentration (ICAP, ICPVP), normalized iodine concentration (NICAP, NICPVP), tumor iodine uptake ratio (TURAP, TURPVP), spectral curve slope (λAP, λPVP), and iodine concentration ratio (IC ratio). CTP parameters were also measured in RVT, including hepatic arterial fraction (HAF), blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and hepatic arterial blood flow (Hep.BF). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlation between the two sets of parameters, with r > 0.25 and P < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Result: The DEsCT parameters of RVT, including ICAP, NICAP, λHU AP, TURAP, NICPVP, and IC ratio, showed good correlations with CTP parameters such as HAF, BF, and Hep.BF (0.4 < r < 0.9). Among them, the IC ratio exhibited the strongest correlation with HAF (r=0.868).The dose-length product (DLP) of this scanning protocol was (1389.06±69.32) mGy·cm, and the effective radiation dose was (20.84±1.04) mSv. Conclusion: The multiparametric DEsCT parameters of RVT in HCC after TACE were significantly correlated with CTP parameters, which can serve as valuable imaging indicators reflecting the hemodynamics of RVT.
