R73; Objective: To evaluate the value of MSCT and DSA in diagnosing the postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma by analyzing the results of these two image examinations. Methods: Seventytwo patients with postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma were subjected to MSCT and DSA of their livers. The interval of two examinations was 2 to 14 days.

The results of two examinations were discrepancy in 10 patients. In 7 cases having positive results in DSA, the number of small nodules in 5 cases displayed by DSA was more than that by MSCT, and 2 cases had negative results in MSCT. In 3 patients having positive results in MSCT, number of small nodules in 2 cases displayed by MSCT was more than that by DSA and 1 case had negative results in DSA.
