Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate 64-slice spiral CT image reconstruction of the portal vein in biliary obstruction. A total of 34 clinical patients with biliary obstruction were confirmed by 64-slice spiral CT scanning with portal venous phase multi‑planar reconstruction (MPR) of the biliary tract, curved planar reconstruction (CPR), thin-slab minimum‑intensity projection (TS-MinIP) and maximum intensity projection (MIP). The reconstructed images were reviewed to further assess the position and cause of the biliary obstruction and to judge the accuracy of diagnosis. The 64-slice spiral CT image reconstruction of the biliary obstructions determined the causes with an accuracy of 88.2% (30/34) and identified the location of the obstruction with an accuracy of 100%. A 64-slice spiral CT reconstructed image of the portal bile duct lesions was generated, which indicated the lesion morphology, location and anatomical relationship with surrounding tissues, secondary biliary stricture and the degree of expansion and is of great clinical value in the characterization and preoperative evaluation of biliary disease.
