Aims and objectives
-To evaluate the donor stability after liver transplantation,
liver regeneratio
nmeasurements according to variables such as the mean liver regeneration
,
age,
gender,
and donation rate were evaluated using3D CT volumetry.
- Safety prediction analysis of donor's liver
Methods and materials
Subject:
- Thirty donors who underwent 3D volumetry using Mx View V3.52 (Philips Medical System,
the Netherlands) before and after liver transplantation between 2011 and 2013 were analyzed.
Protocol and CT parameter:
- Scan equipment; CT scanner Brilliance 64CH(Philips Medical System,
Netherand).
- Portal phase of CT Hepato Biliary-CTA and Abdomen CT.
Methods:
-Their mean liver regeneration and liver regeneration rates by variable were analyzed.
-To calculate their mean liver regeneration rate,
the rate of increase of their mean liver volume and their regeneration rate...
Results
Average of liver regeneration rate:
- The mean liver regeneration measurements showed improvements.
The liver volume increase rate rose from 751.727 days postoperativelyto 9
38.631 month postoperatively,
and to 1,217.85 16 months postoperatively
; and the mean regeneration rate was 88.53%.
By age group:
-The patients in their 10’s and 20’s showed an approximately 90% regeneration rate; those in their 30’s,
87.48%; and those in their 40’s to 50’s,
80.47%.
By gender:
-The female patients reported a 74.13% regeneration rate and the male patients,
66.88%1...
Conclusion
In this study,
the differences in the liver regeneration measurements and variables were verified through 3D volumetry,
which is a direct observation method.
3D volumetry is considered an excellent clinical method of estimating preoperative donor stability.
