英文摘要 | Background/Purpose Although hepatic hemangiomas and cysts display very high signal intensities on conventional T2 images, their appearances are quite distinct using magnetic resonance hydrography (MRH). We examined the feasibility of using MRH in distinguishing hepatic cysts from hemangiomas. Methods We recruited 97 patients with hepatic hemangiomas and 65 with hepatic cysts. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (including two-dimensional multiple slice MRH, TR/TE: 8000/800) and the results were reviewed independently by two radiologists. The signal intensities of the lesions were measured. For each lesion, the variation in signal to noise ratio between MRH and the fat-saturated T2-weighted images was calculated, and the results were validated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results There was a significant difference between the signal to noise ratio of hepatic hemangiomas and cysts using MRH (p < 0.001). This difference could be identified by visual inspection. The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed that the ideal cut-off value for the signal intensity reduction ratio between hepatic cysts and hemangiomas was −0.1. Using this ratio, the derived sensitivity was 95.4%, specificity 99.0%, and accuracy 99.7%. Conclusion Hepatic hemangiomas and cysts have significantly different signal intensities on non-contrast two-dimensional multiple-slice MRH. This approach uses a non-invasive, reliable, and accurate imaging technique to differentiate the two diagnoses. |
