Lesions of biliary hamartoms can be diagnosed by ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

摘要: Aims: This study is to compare the value of ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis biliary hamartomas. Methods: From 2003 2013, 15 cases liver biopsies were found have hamartomas, including 3 excluded from this study. The remaining 12 patients 7 women 5 men aged 28 66 years (mean age, 53 years). Ultrasonography examinations performed by two different scanners using 3.5- 5.0-MHz convex array transducers. Eight examined plain contrast CT 2 with Sensation Cardiac 64 6 Somatom definition dual source CT. MRI was a T system an eight-channel phased-array torso coil. Using pathology slides, lesions classified into class 1 (predominantly solid), (intermediate, mixed solid cystic), cystic). Results: Patients hamartomas distributed lesions. can be used diagnose occasional mistakes. effective capable diagnosing Histopathological examination provides direct means classify degrees caused Conclusions: Biliary showed characteristic features on findings CT, MRI. Although abdominal ultrasonography could detect suspected best choice for further instead In addition, follow-up are necessary.
