Research of multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging in evaluating the degree of pathological differentiation of gastric carcinoma / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the correlation between multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)perfusion imaging parameters and gastric carcinoma differentiation.Methods MSCT perfusion parameters including blood flow(BF),patlak blood volume(PBV),time to peak (TTP)and patlak permeability surface(PPS)were obtained in 44 patients with pathologically confirmed gastric carcinoma before sur-gery.Patients were divided into two groups;26 well differentiated and 18 poorly differentiated.According to the extent of cell differ-entiation ,BF,PBV,TTP and PPS were investigated in two groups.Results Parameters in the well differentiated gastric carcinoma group BF 101.8±6.7 (mL·min-1 ·100 mL-1 ),PBV 85.9±3.4 (mL/1 000 mL ),TTP 121.6±1 1.5(0.1 s),PPS 82.7±1 1.0 (0.5 mL·min-1 ·100 mL-1 )respectivily,Parameters in the poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma group,BF 105.3 ±7.7,PBV 92.1±7.1,TTP 113.0±10.5,PPS 94.3±22.9 respectivily.There was no statistic difference in BF value between the two groups(P >0.05). There were statistic differences in TTP、PBV and PPS between the two groups(P <0.05).Conclusion MSCT perfusion parameters may reflect the degree of differentiation of gastric carcinoma or a certain extent in vivo.
