摘要：

The authors studied the utility of non-contrast-agent-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for differentiating cysts and cavernous hemangiomas of the liver. Nineteen patients with hemangiomas (51 lesions) and 16 with cysts (30 lesions) were studied with a 1.5-T MR imager. T2 values were calculated with the two-point method to evaluate the efficacy of T2 values in the differentiation between hemangiomas and cysts of the liver. For lesions larger than 1 cm, the mean T2 value of cysts (306 msec +/- 156) was significantly longer than that of hemangiomas (113 msec +/- 15) (P < .0001); there was no overlap of the ranges for T2 values of hemangiomas and cysts. All cysts larger than 1 cm could be differentiated from hemangiomas by using a threshold T2 value of 140 msec. This study suggests that calculated T2 values permit differentiation between hemangiomas and cysts larger than 1 cm at 1.5 T.
