Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical significance of MRCP combined with DCE-CT in the diagnosis of biliary stenosis. Methods Totally 95 patients who were admitted into our hospital with biliary stenosis were selected as the study subjects. The patients were divided into benign biliary stenosis group (n?=?48) and malignant biliary stenosis group (n?=?47) based on pathological confirmation. The MRCP and DCE-CT related information were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified wall thickness of the stenotic segment (OlR?=?3.246, 95% CI: 2.228, 4.729), the stenosis of the stenosis (OlR?=?0.801, 95% CI: 0.682, 0.941), the portal venous phase (OlR?=?2.135, 95% CI: 1.503, 3.032), and the stenosis of the stenotic segment of the delayed phase (OlR?=?1.835, 95% CI: 1.344, 2.506) as differentially diagnostic indicators of benign and malignant biliary stenosis. ROC results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of wall thickness, narrow segment diameter, stenosis of the portal stenosis segment, and the severity of the stenosis in the delayed phase were 0.774, 0.817, 0.838 and 0.796, respectively. AUC for combination of wall thickness, narrow segment diameter, stenosis of the portal stenosis segment, and the severity of the stenosis in the delayed phase was 0.902. Conclusions MRCP combined with DCE-CT provides a novel tool for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant biliary stenosis.
