Purpose: To directly compare and study the variability of parameters related to hepatic blood flow measurements using 3 T phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) and Doppler ultrasound (US).
Materials And Methods: Nine healthy subjects were studied. Blood velocities and flow rate measurements were performed in the portal vein and the proper hepatic artery.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) compared to standard assessment techniques for detecting liver lesions in patients undergoing right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis.* -
- It involved 24 patients and compared results from EUS, computed tomography, and intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS), finding that EUS identified fewer lesions than IOUS and had mixed sensitivity and specificity.* -
- Ultimately, while EUS offered some benefits in specificity and positive predictive value for certain liver segments, it was not reliable enough for routine use, reaffirming IOUS as the most accurate method for assessing the left liver.*
Von Meyenburg complexes (VMC) are a cluster of benign liver malformations including biliary cystic lesions, with congenital fibrocollagenous stroma. This rare entity can mimick multiple secondary hepatic lesions. We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who had multiples liver lesions 12 years after operation for breast cancer.
