Imaging diagnosis of hepatic nodules in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome

Hepatic nodules in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome (B CS) are identified in clinical work and the differentiating diagnosis is very important for making the treatment strategy. Most B CS patients with hepatic nodules have nonspecific clinical manifestations. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are often used for differentiating diagnosis. According to the Results of retrospective study on clinical and imaging data of 51 B CS patients with hepatic nodules, we draw a Conclusion that the differentiating diagnosis of hepatic nodules in patients with B CS depends on imaging characteristics. Different treatment strategies are adopted according to the comprehensive analysis of these imaging data and satisfactory Results can be achieved.
