Abstract
Objective:By studying the 128-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging of gastric cancer, this study aimed to investigate the per⁃fusion curves and perfusion imaging features of metastatic perigastric lymph nodes, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) in the active stage and RLH in the quiescent stage;to find out the differences of the perfusion indexes including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT) and permeability surface (PS) of the different types of lymph nodes in advanced gastric cancer. Methods:From the 30 patients with gastric cancer diagnosed by surgery and pathological examination admitted in Gansu Provincial Hospital, 35 metastatic lymph nodes (Group A), 53 lymph nodes with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) in the active stage (Group B) and 27 RLH lymph nodes in the quiescent stage were selected, and the time-density curves (TDC) of the three groups were compared, then the differences of the perfusion indexes were com⁃pared and analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). Results:①The 128-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging of gastric can⁃cer could demonstrate the perfusion information inside the different types of perigastric lymph nodes, and could reflect the physiological func⁃tions of the lymph nodes precisely;②The results of BF, BV, MTT and PS of metastatic perigastric lymph nodes, RLH lymph nodes in the reac⁃tive stage and RLH lymph nodes in the quiescent stage were statistically different. Conclusion: The 128-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging of gastric cancer can reflect the changes of the perfusion indexes of perigastric lymph nodes visually, and can provide the objective and quantita⁃tive information of thehemodynamic changes of the lymph nodes. Combined with enhanced imaging and various post-processing technologies, the 128-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging can provide more valuable information for thelocating and the qualitative diagnosis of the perigastric lymph nodes and the preoperative staging evaluation. Therefore, CT perfusion imaging is a new, non-invasive imaging method for the perfusion and functionassessmentsof tissues and organs.关键词
