Triple-Phase Multidetector Computed Tomography in Distinguishing Canine Hepatic Lesions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Simple Summary The goal of this study was to find any associations between the histologic diagnosis and the radiodensity of liver lesions. Thirty-one dogs with focal or multifocal liver lesions undergoing computed tomography examination were included in the study. Computed tomography examinations were performed before and after the application of a contrast medium, and postcontrast images were obtained in three different vascular phases; the arterial, portal, and delayed venous phases. A histological diagnosis was subsequently obtained for all of the dogs. From the results, no significant differences were identified between the benign and malignant liver lesions, nor between the individual histological types of lesions. The conclusion from this study is that triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography cannot differentiate between benign and malignant liver lesions. Biopsy and further histological analysis are necessary. The liver has a unique vascular supply, and triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography examinations are being performed in order to characterize liver lesions. This study aimed to look for any associations between the attenuation values of liver lesions and their histological classification. The inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were focal or multifocal liver lesions and histological diagnosis. All of the dogs underwent pre-contrast and triple-phase postcontrast computed tomography (CT) examinations with identical timings of the postcontrast series. Thirty-one dogs were included in the study, and various benign and malignant pathologies were identified. The results did not identify any significant differences between the benign and malignant liver lesions, nor between the individual histological diagnoses. Inflammatory lesions were significantly different compared to the normal liver parenchyma, and significant hypoattenuation was found in the portal and delayed venous phases. Hemangiosarcomas were significantly hypoattenuating to the normal liver parenchyma in the pre-contrast and arterial phases, and also to all of the benign lesions in the arterial phase. The other pathologies showed variable attenuation patterns in the different postcontrast phases, and differentiation was not possible. On the basis of this study, triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography cannot differentiate between benign and malignant liver lesions, and biopsy and further histological analysis are necessary.
