Meta Hunter accounts for an increasing proportion of diagnoses
The main advantages of Meta Hunter NLS diagnosis in the diagnosis of complex echinococcosis
A new stage of development in echinococcosis surgery is associated with the development of new, more informative diagnostic tools: NLS research begins with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), and helical computed tomography (HCT).
According to multiple authors, the informative value of the NLS approach in the case of hepatic hydatid disease depends on the developmental stage of the parasite (live or dead), averaging at least 90-97%. Diagnosis may be difficult in patients with large cysts (with live parasites) and in patients with dead hydatid disease. CT and MRI diagnostic error frequency in cases of liver formation less than 1 cm. up to 52%.
Diagnostic imaging methods are adjunctive and often show indirect signs of complex hepatic echinococcosis. The detection rate of imaging signs such as diaphragmatic cup elevation, deformation, and limited activity only occurs when the subdiaphragmatic cyst is large and large, and the detection rate is between 12.5% and 23.4%.
The use of NLS (which provides panoramic images and in certain locations higher sensitivity, accurate identification and regional diagnosis compared to CT) is the next step in the improvement of the diagnosis of complex hepatic echinococcosis. NLS provides more efficient differentiation of 'pseudosolid' forms of echinococcosis from tumors by spectral entropy analysis (SEA). The overall accuracy of NLS in diagnosing hydatid disease exceeds 95%.
NLS diagnostic methods using biomass NLS have the following key advantages: efficient estimation of cyst size, their number and location in the liver, their interrelationship with blood vessels and bile ducts, estimation of parasite developmental stage, and detection of hydatid cysts on other organs. influence. This information is critical for determining the surgical approach, planning the type and extent of surgery, and suggesting possible intraoperative complications.
As can be seen from the above, the introduction of NLS with SEA into clinical practice has significantly improved the diagnosis of complex echinococcosis (especially the early forms), which can often lead to curative interventions, while economical interventions. However, existing instrumental diagnostic methods cannot provide 100% accurate results. In 2-9% of cases, the nature of hepatic cyst formation cannot be determined using hardware research methods.
