FNH And NLS-research With Metatron Hunter 4025
Focal nodal hyperplasia of liver (FNH) – is quite rare benign tumor, in majority of cases diagnosed in women of fertile age. FNH is single, rounded, non-encapsulated neoplasm with irregular hepatic architectonics, divided by septa reaching central cicatrice. Average size of focus is 5.7 centimeters (from 1.5 to 12.0 cm).
At NLS-research FNH may look like neoplasm of irregular form with diffuse microfocal heterogeneity and absence of capsule. Often hyperchromogenic nodes are detected, but chromogeneity may be of any kind.
FNH has a wide spectrum of MR images. The most typical are considered to be homogeneity and isointensity. Characteristics of central cicatrice have special diagnostic value.
Intratumoral cicatrice has complex structure and knowing of its histological characteristics contents (biliary ducts, blood vessels and cells intrinsic to chronic inflammation) helps to interpret properly MRI acquired data.
The most rational diagnostic method in presence of FNH or liver adenoma signs, we consider to be initial NLS-research with metatron hunter 4025 of abdominal cavity organs and further MRI with contrast enhancement in order to update a diagnosis. CT has not so great diagnostic value.
