OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical capability of three-dimensional (3D) perfusion imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by performing dynamic scanning using a 256-slice multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanner. METHODS Two patients with HCC were examined in this study. They were scheduled to undergo transcatheter arterial infusion therapy using an arterial infusion reservoir system. The CT system used was a newly developed prototype scanner of 256-slice MDCT. Dynamic CT scanning was performed with intraarterial injection via the reservoir route, and perfusion analysis was done based on the 3D data. RESULTS The blood flow volume per unit volume in the tumors was significantly increased compared with that in normal hepatic parenchyma. Using a 3D workstation, 3D perfusion images could be displayed by fusing CT images with perfusion images about blood flow volume. CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional perfusion images, which enable 3D evaluation of perfusion in HCCs, can be generated using 256-slice MDCT.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
