Purpose: To evaluate the predictive ability of combining Technetium-99m-galactosyl human serum albumin (Tc‑GSA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) volume and plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green (ICGK) for posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).
Materials And Methods: Fifty patients who underwent Tc-GSA scintigraphy as a preoperative examination for segmentectomy or more from July 2021 to June 2023 were evaluated prospectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 39 HCC cases, 59% showed a PTHR, which correlated with significantly higher iron deposition in both the peritumoral area and the surrounding liver tissue, compared to cases without PTHR.
- * The findings suggest that the presence of a PTHR is linked to increased peritumoral and background liver iron levels, but not to the fibrous capsule surrounding the tumor.
Purpose: To assess whether the modified reading system "Triage Reader" (TR) can improve the radiological reading work environment.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, single-center study analyzed two reading systems for 26,786 computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations. In the conventional system (January 1-May 31, 2016), all reading work was mostly completed within the day.
