Angiography
• Celiac angiography– “thread and streaks”
• Vena cavography• Ventriculography
Dazai
et al., 1989.
Anthony Sung, HMS IVGillian Lieberman, MD
Discussion ‐
Echocardiography
• Simple, fast, safe, cheap, convenient• Image myocardium and chambers• Real‐time imaging with dynamic information
about mobility and blood flow (using doppler)
• Limited views and resolution• Limited by body habitus, operator
• TEE more sensitive; however, may be contraindicated in HCC patients with varices
Anthony Sung, HMS IVGillian Lieberman, MD
Discussion ‐
TEE
http://info.med.yale.edu/intmed/cardio/imaging/techniques/echo_tee/index.html
Anthony Sung, HMS IVGillian Lieberman, MD
Discussion – CT
• Fast, available, high resolution• Evaluate size, location, extent of disease
(myocardial or intraluminal
invasion) calcifications, and relationship with adjacent
structures• Screening, surveillance
• Limited planes• Radiation and contrast exposure
Anthony Sung, HMS IVGillian Lieberman, MD
Discussion MRI
• More expensive• Discriminate between different tissues
– Tumor has medium signal intensity on T1– Thrombus has high signal intensity on T1
• Image multiple planes• Evaluate structural and anatomical relationships, mobility of mass,
myocardial function, and blood flow
• Goldfarb et al: 20 patients with surgically‐confirmed vena caval
tumor with thrombus extension from retroperitoneal tumors– MRI identified tumor/thrombus in 100%, delineated extent in 100%– CT identified tumor/thrombus in 100%, delineated extent in 33%.
