Multi-modality imaging approach is usually the more useful in diagnosis colorectal liver metastases. It is well established that hepatic resection improves the long-term prognosis of many patients with liver metastases. However, incomplete resection does not prolong survival, so knowledge of the exact extent of intra-hepatic disease is crucially important in determining patient management and outcome. The diagnosis of liver metastases relies first and totally on imaging to decide which patients may be surgical candidates. This review will discuss the imaging options and their appropriate indications. Imaging and evaluating of colorectal liver metastases （CRLM） have been performed with contrast-enhanced ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） with extra-cellular contrast media and liver-specific contrast media MRI, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Methods： The MRI of 56 patients with NPC and paranasal sinuses infringed were evaluated between December 2003 and August 2004. Results： Among them, 56 （100%） showed breakage in the wall of paranasal sinuses, 29 （51.8%） had thick mucous membrane in sinuses, 36 （64.3%） showed tumour invasion sinuses, 55 （98.2%） connected with primary carcinoma with the lesion, and 14 （25%） stored up fluid in si- nuses. On MRI scan technique, the positive ratios of diagnoses were 66.1%, 76.8%, and 98.2% respectively （P 〈 0.000） in the horizontal section, coronal section and sagittal section. And nearly 60% was in the TlWl and T2Wl, but 100% in strengthen scan. Conclusion： The findings of sinuses wall breakage, thick mucous membrane in sinuses, tumour invasion cavity connective mass, and same enhancement signal in MR image may indicate the paranasal sinuses involved by primary turnout. The sagittal section and enhanced MRI scans are helpful to diagnosis.展开更多
