New techniques or grading of liver tumors

Adenoma is a rare liver tumor, in which a specific part of the adenoma will be transformed into malignant tumors, recently from the Vienna Medical University researchers use a new type of nuclear magnetic resonance technology, the patient is not invasive tissue sampling Detection of the premise can be effective on the classification of adenomas, related research published in the international journal Radiology.
 
At present, adenoma patients must undergo tissue biopsy to determine whether hepatocellular adenomas are benign or potentially malignant, and the researchers have developed a new imaging technique that allows the use of liver-specific magnetic resonance contrast agents Classification of hepatocellular adenomas;
 
Adenoma in the liver is very rare, it will develop in many ways, the current identified three adenoma subtypes, namely, benign, inflammatory and precancerous lesions, in addition to the fourth unclassified subtype, the fourth Types of adenomas tend to cause different clinical manifestations and potentially worsen.
 
In this paper, researchers can use the new type of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging technology can be a special classification of adenomas, and gadolinium acid called liver special contrast agent, which can target the role of bile in the organic anion transport peptide, but also target To the role of adenoma cells and normal liver cells in the multi-drug-related proteins, then the researchers will use magnetic resonance imaging of the adenoma surface transporter ratio of normal dirty cells compared to the progress of the adenoma Classification (grading).
 
The researchers, Ahmed Ba-Ssalamah, point out that this new imaging technique can evaluate the characteristics of adenomas in patients without intrusive sampling, which is useful for later understanding of the biological characteristics of adenomas and other liver tumors, Therapy or technology to effectively inhibit the development of adenoma provides a new clue and ideas.
