【Objective】To investigate the value of multi-phase dynamic enhanced MR scanning with 3D-VIBE sequence in HCC by comparing with enhanced multiple slice computer tomography(MSCT)scanning.【Method】23 patients who were pathologi? cally proven of HCC,and underwent both abdominal enhanced 3.0T MR multi-phase dynamic scanning with 3D-VIBE sequence and enhanced MSCT scanning were enrolled. The enhancement features of HCC on enhanced MR multi-phase dynamic scanning and en? hanced CT scanning were compared.【Results】There were 23 lesions confirmed by pathology. All the 23 lesions were detected by en? hanced MR multi-phase dynamic scanning with 3D-VIBE sequence,and 21 lesions were detected by enhanced MSCT scanning. The enhanced features of“fast enhanced and fast washout”in HCC can be observed more frequently on enhanced MR multi-phase dynam? ic scanning with 3D-VIBE sequence than enhanced MSCT scanning(78.3% vs 54.5%). Obvious enhancement feature can be ob? served more frequently on the enhanced MR multi-phase dynamic scanning when the tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm(P=0.037).【Conclu? sion】The enhanced MR multi-phase dynamic scanning with 3D-VIBE sequence can greatly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of HCC diagnosis,especially for the small HCC(tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm).
