Application of enhanced CT scanning in diagnosis and blood supply classification of hepatic hemangioma

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the application value of electronic computed tomography (CT) enhanced scanning in the diagnosis and blood supply classification of hepatic hemangioma. Methods 62 patients with hepatic hemangioma encountered in Haian People's Hospital between June 2018 and June 2023 were subjected to enhanced CT scanning to measure the diameter of the proper hepatic artery during arterial phase, and blood supply classification was performed according to the volume of contrast agent filling and CT manifestations. Observe the CT enhanced scanning of HH patients, compare the general information of HH patients with different blood flow perfusions, observe the CT enhanced scanning of HH patients, and compare the differences in general information of HH patients with different blood flow perfusions. The therapeutic effects of different types were observed. Results Among 62 patients with hepatic hemangioma, enhanced CT scan revealed high speed perfusion in 32 cases (51.6 %), moderate speed perfusion in 10 cases (16.1 %) and low speed perfusion in 20 cases (32.3 %). There was no significant difference in the diameter of the proper hepatic artery between the patients with high speed perfusion and medium speed perfusion (P>0.05). The diameter of hepatic artery was (5.1±0.9) mm and (5.0±0.8) mm, respectively in patients with high speed perfusion and medium speed perfusion, which was significantly higher than that in patients with low speed perfusion [(4.1±0.7) mm, P<0.05].The efficacy of HH patients with high speed and medium speed perfusion was significantly better than that of HH patients with low speed perfusion (P<0.05). Conclusion Enhanced CT scan has a certain application value in the diagnosis of HH and blood supply classification, and the vascular embolization treatment in patients with high speed perfusion and medium speed perfusion HH has a better effect.
