OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Seventeen patients (9 men, 8 women) with newly diagnosed HCC, proven by biopsy, were evaluated with 256-slice helical CT. Perfusion parameters of blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), arterial perfusion (AP), portal perfusion (PP), and hepatic perfusion index (HPI) were calculated in the normal liver parenchyma and HCC samples. RESULTS A total of 21 histologically proven HCC lesions were evaluated from CT perfusion images. BF, BV, AP, and HPI values were shown to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the HCC lesions than in the normal liver parenchyma. Conversely, PP values were found to be significantly lower (P < 0.05) in HCC relative to liver parenchyma. CONCLUSIONS CT perfusion imaging has the ability to evaluate tumor assessment, characterization, and neoangiogenesis in HCC.

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.
