PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the application of liver acquisition with volume acceleration(LAVA) sequence enhanced scan display in the determination of cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods The clinical data of 72 cases of cervical cancer patients treated in our hospital Radiology from March 2011 to October 2014 were statistically analyzed. Results 72 cases of patients 576 with lymph node dissection to 1518 out of which pathological examination confirmed that 42 of 20 patients had 66 lymph nodes were positive lymph nodes, 27.8%, 7.3%, 4.3% of the total, respectively; the pathology LAVA the average cross-sectional diameter of the short sequence of positive lymph nodes (12.4±5.6)mm was significantly longer than the negative (8.3±2.5)mm (P<0.05), the proportion of heterogeneous enhancement 87.5% (28/32) was significantly higher than the negative 53.8% (28/52) (P<0.05); the short diameter predictive value for lymph node metastasis was significantly better than the long diameter (P<0.05). Conclusion LAVA sequence enhanced scan display has higher value in the determination of cervical lymph node metastasis.
