Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nomogram model constructed using Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) and 3D Arterial Spin Labeling (3D-ASL) functional imaging techniques in distinguishing between cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (CAE) and brain metastases (BM).
Methods: Prospectively collected were 24 cases (86 lesions) of patients diagnosed with CAE and 16 cases (69 lesions) of patients diagnosed with BM at the affiliated hospital of Qinghai University from 2018 to 2023, confirmed either pathologically or through comprehensive diagnosis. Both patient groups underwent DKI and 3D-ASL scanning.
Background: The prognosis after brain metastasis of alveolar echinococcosis is inferior, but there is currently no effective method to predict brain metastasis.
Purpose: To explore the value of a nomogram constructed based on a CT plain scan and enhanced imaging features combined with clinical indicators in predicting brain metastasis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE).
Materials And Methods: The imaging characteristics and clinical indicators of 116 patients diagnosed with HAE in the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from 2015 to 2022 were retrospectively collected.
Article Synopsis
