Diagnosis and Management of Noncardiac Complications in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease
Advantages and Disadvantages of Imaging Modalities for Detection of Liver Disease and Screening for HCC in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease(CHD)
| Advantages | Disadvantages | Additional Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound | Inexpensive
Widely available Highly sensitive for differentiating cystic and solid lesions No ionising radiation |
Low sensitivity for detecting focal, solid liver lesions, particularly in the setting of diffuse disease
Often unable to detect lesions <1 cm in size Low specs city High operator dependency |
Use of contrast agents may improve characterization of hepatic tutors
Useful for guiding liver parenchymal and some focal mass biopsies Elastography may overestimate degree of brosis and may not be useful for screening in CHD |
| CT | Best spatial resolution (submillimeter resolution) | Exposure to ionizing radiation dose
Low sensitivity for detecting and characterizing lesions <1 cm in size Contrast contraindicated in renal failure Diffuse liver disease and fatty in ltration limit sensitivity for lesion detection |
CT-guided liver mass biopsy useful in cases when ultrasound visualization is poor |
| MRI | High lesion-to-liver contrast
High spatial resolution Better lesion detection and characterization than CT No ionising radiation Unenhanced MRI superior to unenhanced CT |
