Abstract

Objective To investigate the three-phase contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan features and diagnostic value of multiple hepatic hemangiomas. Methods Thirty patients with hepatic multiple hemangioma admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the study subjects. All patients underwent three-phase enhanced spiral CT scans. The imaging features and diagnostic value of plain and enhanced CT scans were analyzed. Results Plain scan of 30 patients with multiple hemangiomas showed round or quasi-circular low-density shadow. The density in lesions was uniform and boundaries were clear. The arterial phase contrast-enhanced scan showed that the margins of the lesions were patchy or nodular like enhancement and the density was close to the aorta. In the portal phase, and the enhancement lesions extended to the center. In the delay phase, the lesions were full or partial enhanced, and the density was higher or equal to the liver parenchyma. Conclusion Most of the lesions of hepatic multiple hemangiomas on three-phase enhanced spiral CT scan have typical imaging features. CT is of great value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the lesions, and it is worth popularizing in clinic.
