食管癌的MR检查及其对手术切除的可行性研究

MRI features and resectability prediction of esophageal carcinoma

目的：评估食管癌ＭＲＩ检查的价值及其手术切除的可行性。材料与方法：３０例食管癌患者（男２４例，女６例，年龄４０～７１岁）均作ＭＲ矢状位、冠状位及轴位成像，并分析其ＭＲＩ表现。结果：全部病例ＭＲＩ均显示出食管癌的准确部位、实际长度、外侵范围及其与邻近结构的关系，其中７例还发现有其他器官转移。结论：食管癌术前行ＭＲ检查具有重要的临床意义，对判断其能否手术切除可提供重要的依据，是钡餐检查的重要补充手段。

Purpose:To evaluate MRI in esophageal carcinoma and its resectability. Materials and methods: MR imaging (sagittal, coronal, axial) were performed in 30 cases (male 24 cases, female 6 cases, average age 58 years) and retrospectively analyzed. Results: MRI clearly demonstrated the location, actual length, and extent of esophageal carcinoma as well as its relation with surrounding structures in all cases. Metastasis to other organs were found in 7 cases. Conclusion: MR imaging played an important role in preoperative diagnosis of esophageal carcinoma, providing valuable information in determining resectability of the tumor.
