Abstract

Objective To study the clinical value of CT enhanced scan and MRI in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer. Methods A total of 61 patients with primary liver cancer admitted to our hospital between June 2013 and December 2016 were enrolled in the study. All patients were examined by CT enhanced scan and MRI and all received operation. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of CT enhanced scan and MRI in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer were calculated. Results The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CT were 88.2%, 70.0% and 85.3%, respectively while of MRI were 96.1%, 80.0% and 93.4%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy between CT enhanced scan and MRI (P>0.05). Conclusion The accuracy rates of both CT enhanced scan and MRI are high in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer. The appropriate examination methodcanbe chosen according to the patient's condition and economic situation.
