Single centre experience of transjugular liver biopsy in 152 patients.

March 2014
Introduction: Liver biopsy is considered the definitive investigation in the diagnosis and management of liver disease. This study describes the experience of performing transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) over the last 9 years in a local single centre.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive TJLB procedures performed at our institution was conducted.
Background: Yttrium-90 (90Y) positron emission tomography with integrated computed tomography (PET/CT) represents a technological leap from 90Y bremsstrahlung single-photon emission computed tomography with integrated computed tomography (SPECT/CT) by coincidence imaging of low abundance internal pair production. Encouraged by favorable early experiences, we implemented post-radioembolization 90Y PET/CT as an adjunct to 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT in diagnostic reporting.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of all paired 90Y PET/CT and 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT scans over a 1-year period.
Article Synopsis
- - Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is commonly used in hospitals as the first imaging option for trauma and suspected heart-related emergencies, like acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism.
- - Many patients who undergo MDCT are unstable and at risk of rapidly worsening conditions, potentially leading to shock or death.
- - The review highlights key CT signs that indicate impending cardiovascular failure, aimed at helping radiologists identify and respond to these critical situations effectively.
