Abstract

Objective Evaluate the application value of CT in the evaluation of clinical efficacy of microwave ablation techniques for liver cancer. Methods Take 27 cases have received microwave ablation of liver cancer patients in recent years for the study objective, a total of 52 lesions. To determine the role and value of CT plays in t the evaluation of clinical efficacy by observing and analyzing the CT review image of patients. Results CT plain scan, the tumor ablation area is a band or circular shape, the lesions showed a low density, high density and density in some lesions. In the enhancement of CT, some lesions showed partial irregular patchy enhancement areas in the arterial phase, and the enhancement of the peripheral and internal nodules. Conclusion CT can quickly and accurately determine the lesion in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after microwave ablation, has important clinical value and deserves further promotion and application.
