PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the clinical value of fusion imaging in diagnosis of focal liver lesions. Methods Sixty-three patients with focal liver lesions treated in our hospital between February 2014 and June 2016 were selected as the study subjects. All patients underwent ultrasound and CT examination, and image fusion was performed. The accuracy was compared between simple enhanced CT and fusion imaging in the diagnosis of the number and type of focal liver lesions. Results There were a total of 96 lesions in 63 patients. The detection rate of enhanced CT was 95.8% (92/96), and of fusion imaging was 97.9% (94/96) (P>0.05). The coincidence rate of qualitative diagnosis of enhanced CT was 60.4% (58/96), while of fusion imaging was 89.6% (86/96) (P<0.05). Conclusion Fusion imaging is with both the real time of ultrasound and high spatial resolution of CT. It is safety and non invasive, simple and fast. It helps to improve the correct rate in the qualitative diagnosis of focal liver lesions, with great clinical application value.
