Application and Evaluation of a 64-Slice CT Three-Dimensional Fusion Technique in the Determination of the Effective Ablation Margin after Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Due to the low accuracy of traditional three-dimensional fusion technology in radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma, this paper studies the advantages of three-dimensional CT fusion technology over traditional two-dimensional imaging technology in preoperative visualization and radiofrequency ablation path selection of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the prognostic differences of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with different ablation margins (AM) in the three groups, so as to explore the best AM value, so as to minimize the liver injury caused by radiofrequency ablation. The selected patients underwent CT plain scan and three-phase enhancement at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation and were rechecked every 6 months.

Coronavirus Disease 2019: Initial Detection on Chest CT in a Retrospective Multicenter Study of 103 Chinese Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of chest CT regarding the initial presentation of patients suspected of having coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Materials And Methods: Data from 103 patients who were under investigation for COVID-19 based on inclusion criteria according to the World Health Organization Interim Guidance were retrospectively collected from January 21, 2020, to February 14, 2020. All patients underwent chest CT scanning and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing for COVID-19 at hospital presentation.
