Abstract:Background
Microvascular invasion (MVI) is an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, MVI cannot be detected by conventional imaging. To localize MVI precisely on magnetic resonance (MR) images, we evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) histology-MR image fusion of the liver.
Methods
Animal models of VX2 liver tumors were established in 10 New Zealand white rabbits under ultrasonographic guid… Show more
