Description
The authors have tested different MR imaging sequences to detect hepatocellular carcinomas. The most performing is a spin-echo T2-weighted sequence with long TR (1800 or 2000 ms), and three echos. The first echo, early at 40 ms, may allow an analysis of the vessels, later, at 80 and 120 ms, the two other echos permit a better visualization of the tumor. With this type of sequence, the method's sensibility is excellent
Abstract (French)
Nous avons teste differentes sequences IRM pour la detection des carcinomes hepato-cellulaires, ceci sans injection de produit de contraste. La plus performante est une sequence spin-echos ponderee en T2 AVEC TR long (1800 ou 2000 ms) et trois echos. Le premier echo precoce, a 40 ms peut permettre une analyse des vaisseaux alors que les deux autres echos plus tardifs a 80 et 120 ms, permettent de mieux visualiser la tumeur. Avec ce type de sequence la sensibilite de la methode est excellenteAdditional details
