Application and Evaluation of a 64-Slice CT Three-Dimensional Fusion Technique in the Determination of the Effective Ablation Margin after Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Due to the low accuracy of traditional three-dimensional fusion technology in radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma, this paper studies the advantages of three-dimensional CT fusion technology over traditional two-dimensional imaging technology in preoperative visualization and radiofrequency ablation path selection of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the prognostic differences of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with different ablation margins (AM) in the three groups, so as to explore the best AM value, so as to minimize the liver injury caused by radiofrequency ablation. The selected patients underwent CT plain scan and three-phase enhancement at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation and were rechecked every 6 months. For recurrent patients, CT was rechecked every three months. The images were obtained by GE 64-slice spiral CT. The thickness of the reconstruction layer is 1 mm, and the interval is 1 mm. The reconstructed image is imported into 3D fusion software. The three-dimensional images of tumor focus, hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein were reconstructed by two experienced doctors by superimposing the saved tumor images, merging the vascular images into the display, and measuring the ablation boundary (AM value). The results showed that the recurrence rate in group A was higher than that in group B (P = 0.041), and there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P = 1.000). Compared with traditional two-dimensional imaging, three-dimensional CT fusion technology can display the anatomical structure and three-dimensional spatial relationship of tumors and blood vessels and select the best radiofrequency ablation path, so as to achieve accurate radiofrequency ablation.
