To Predict The Correlation Between Calcification And Its Biological Activity Of Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between different types of calcification and its biological activities in the clinical application.METHODS:Retrospective analysis of 60 cases of hepatic hydatid disease image results,based on the CT findings of calcification different imaging characteristics of the classification,the same period of PET-CT examination to measure the SUVmax.The correlation analysis was carried out by using rank and test Kruskal-WallisH by different typing SUVmax.Results:60 cases of patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis were divided into A,B and C by different calcifications.The median SUVmax of A,B and C were3.41(2.17-3.75),7.45(6.77-9.01)and 6.67(6.28-9.01),respectively The median SUVmax was statistically significant(χ~2=5.429,P<0.05).Conclusion:There is some correlation between the imaging types of calcification of heaptic alveolar echinococcosis and its biological activity.
