Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the value of combined different postprocessing techniques using 256 slice spiral CT for the visualization of right inferior phrenic artery(RIPA). Methods: Double-phase contrast enhanced scan was performed in 98 patients including 12 cases of HCC to observe RIPA using three different postprocessing combination techniques. The cases were divided into three groups: Group A(MPR+MIP), Group B(MPR+VR), and Group C(MPR+CPR). Results: The ability of showing the origin and distribution of RIPA in Group A was higher than those in Group B and Group C. Conclusion: MPR+MIP postprocessing techniques can display distribution of RIPA clearly, which can be used as a first choice and accurate noninvasive examination method to evaluate the extrahepatic blood supply in preoperative TACE of HCC.
