Primarily study on the features of ultrasound Doppler images in patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC)

ABSTRACT

Authors implemented the study to find characteristics of Doppler ultrasonic images in patients with HCC. This is a prospective study and carried out in B¹ch Mai Hospital. In the study on 15 patients, who had positive diagnosis of HCC, were selected. All of them underwent Doppler ultrasound and hepatic arteriography. Intra-tumoral and peri-tumoral flow is found with Doppler U.S 86.6% of tumors compared to the results of hepatic arteriography. The average peak velocity of hepatic artery and intratumoral artery is 83.3 and 57.2 cm/s respectively. The resistive Index is from 0.4 to 0.88 in intratumoural vessels.
