内容紹介
Fibroscan®は肝硬度測定において普及しているが、Bモードがない点が短所である。本研究では、CTまたはMRIの画像を超音波装置に取り込み、磁気センサを併用してリアルタイムのBモード像と同期し、肝硬度測定を行った。本法により肝臓の位置を確認しながら測定することが可能であった。
Fibroscan® has been used for evaluation of liver fibrosis. However, it could not show B mode image. At first, we took volume data of computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into the ultrasonographic equipment, and measured liver stiffness with fusion images using magnetic sensor. This method helps us to confirm the location of the liver when liver stiffness is measured.
