Between FDG-18 and C-11 acetate in detection of HCC in PET which one appear more reliable ?

A

owing to mechanism “leak back” by G-6-phosphatase enzyme ย่อย FDG-18 แล้วปล่อย FDG กลับสู่กระแสเลือด

HCCs
» T2W - High SI
!! แต่ well-differentiated HCC สามารถมี SI เหมือน nodule

A

SPIO
» ย่อมาจาก Superparamagnetic iron oxide
» หลักการ HCC จับ SPIO น้อย (เหล็ก ทำให้ decreased signal intensity) เลยถูกกด SI น้อย HCC เลยขาว ในพื้นดำ
» ใช้เพื่อช่วย detected small HCC lesions ใน cirrhotic liver. โดยใน study หนึ่งสามารถ detect small HCC มากขึ้น โดยใช้ SPIO-enhanced FLASH and long TR sequence (2000/70 and 2000/28)
!!! แต่ข้อจำกัดของ technique นี้คือ ใน early HCC อาจสะสม iron ได้ จากที่ยังมี reticuloendothelial cells อยู่ ซึ่งทำตัวเหมือน ตับปกติ … สำหรับข้อจำกัดนี้เค้าบอกให้ดูลักษณะ ใน unenhanced MR จะสามารถช่วยแยกได้

39
Q

>> Supply by portal venous system
Dysplastic nodule 
T1W >> hyperintense
T2W >> hypointense
!! Hyperintense in hypointense nodule
(nodule within a nodule) indicated HCC foci in dysplastic nodule.
