Methods: sixty-two patients with hepatocytic lesions who were enrolled in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the research subjects. All patients were examined by dynamic enhanced CT scan and liver MRI. The diagnostic results of the two different methods were analyzed based on pathological examination, and their diagnostic value was compared. Conclusion: liver MRI examination in patients with HCC has relatively high sensitivity and specificity, and excellent application effect, which can provide accurate basis for early diagnosis and later targeted treatment by doctors, and is worthy of clinical application and vigorous promotion.展开更多

Methods: the clinical data of 100 patients with solitary pulmonary nodules in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent dynamic enhancement of CT scanning, and the results of pathological examination and CT scanning were compared and analyzed. Results: in the comparison between dynamic enhancement of CT scan and pathological examination, 95.83% were the diagnostic coincidence rate of malignant pulmonary nodules and 93.33% were benign pulmonary nodules. The coincidence rate of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules before and after enhanced scan was significantly lower than that after enhanced scan (P < 0.05);There was significant difference in CT value between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in the differential diagnosis and diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules by dynamic contrast-enhanced CT scanning, it is worthy of clinical application and has high application value.展开更多
