Objective To analyze the quantitative evaluation of enhanced CT combined with magnetic resonance ADC values for the postoperative value of TACE in primary liver cancer. Methods Retrospective collection of data from 40patients who underwent TACE surgery from May 2020 to May 2023. All patients underwent quantitative evaluation of enhanced CT combined with magnetic resonance ADC values, and the treatment effects were compared. Results There were significant changes in postoperative ADC values, contrast-enhanced ratio (CER), signal-to-noise ratio (SIR), and lesion diameter compared to preoperative levels, with statistical significance (P<0.05). In terms of comparing ADC values under different b values, there were significant changes before surgery, as well as at 2 week and 2 month after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The quantitative evaluation of ADC values using enhanced CT combined with magnetic resonance imaging can understand the changes in ADC values before and after surgery, which is beneficial for distinguishing tumor necrosis lesions and evaluating treatment efficacy.
