ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the value of dual energy CT lung perfusion imaging (DEPI) for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) in comparison with CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Methods: There were 49 patients with suspected PE received DEPI scanning and 19 with CTPA conifrmed diagnosis were enrolled in this study. CTPA image was obtained by 80 kv data, and DEPI image was obtained by PBV software. The location, type of PE in CTPA image, and the location, shape of perfusion defect in DEPI were observed and compared by segment basis. The correlation and agreement of CTPA and DEPI for diagnosing PE were calculated and the un-agreement was analyzed. Results: A total of 380 segments were included for analysis. CTPA detected 162 segments of PE and DEPI detected 155 segments of perfusion defect or reduction, partial PE were mainly presented by perfusion defects as speckles, patches or without perfusion defect, and complete PE were mainly showed segmental or sub-segmental perfusion defects. CTPA and DEPI were correlated for PE diagnosis (χ2=305.5,P=0.000), the diagnostic agreement was 83.42% and KAPPA value was 0.659. Conclusion: The perfusion defect in DEPI is related to the degree and type of PE presented in CTPA, their combination is helpful for diagnosing PE.

ABSTRACT

To comparatively study the diagnostic value of dual resource computed tomography angiography (DSCTA) and 3.0T magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for intracranial aneurysm, we analyzed retrospectively radiographic data of DSCTA, 3.0T MRI and three dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D DSA ) in cases suspected intracranial aneurysms during Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2011. With 3D DSA as "gold standard", the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of DSCTA and 3.0T MRA in diagnostic of intracranial aneurysms were analyzed, and the accuracy of both methods on evaluation of aneurysms size was compared as well. Totally fifty-three suspected cases were included, and forty-two intracranial aneurysms in thirty-five cases were identified by 3D DSA. For DSCTA, 37 aneurysms were detected in 32 patients, and 3 patients and 5 aneurysms were missed in all patients. However, for 3.0 T MRA, 33 aneurysms were detected in 33 patients, 5 patients and 8 aneurysms were missed, and 3 patients who did not have aneurysms were misdiagnosed as ones with intracranial aneurysms. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of DSCTA and 3.0T MRA were 91.4% vs. 85.7%, 100% vs. 83.3%, 100% vs. 90.9%, 85.7% vs. 75.0% and 94.3% vs. 84.9%,respectively. There was no significant difference in evaluation of aneurysms size between using the two methods. Data suggested that both DSCTA and 3.0T MRA had high accuracy for detection intracranial aneurysms and evaluation of aneurysms size, but as for detection of microaneurysms, DSCTA was superior to 3.0T MRA.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the morphologic features of Bachmann bundle (BB) and its vascular supply on dual-source CT coronary angiography(DSCTCA) in healthy volunteers and patients with coronary artery lesion (CAL). Methods Clinical histories, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and images of DSCTCA of 106 patients ( CAL group) and 100 healthy volunteers ( Control group) were reviewed. All 106 patients underwent conventional coronary angiography ( CCA ). The Gensini scoring system was used to assess the results of CCA. The patients were divided into three groups according to their Gensini scores. The length, width and superoinferior diameter, CT value, and vascular supply of BB were studied. Rank sum test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables were used in statistical analysis.Results ( 1 ) BB visualization rate of control group was higher than CAL group [86.0% (86/100) vs 51.9%(55/106), x2 = 27.726, P < 0.01]. The higher the Gensini score of CAL subgroup, the lower the visualization rate of its BB [80.0% ( 28/35 ), 55.6% ( 20/36 ), 20.0% ( 7/35 ), x2 = 25.530, P < 0.01].(2)The median of measurements of length,width and superoinferior diameter of control and CAL group were 13.0 vs 13.8,5.0 vs 5.2 and 5.9 vs 6.2 mm, respectively ( P > 0.05 ). (3) The CT value of the BB region in control group( median :42.6 HU ) was higher than that of CAL group( median: 13.0 HU) ( Z = - 7.061, P <0.01). The CT values of BB regions in patients with nonvisualized BB (median: -16.0 HU) were lower. The CT values of the BB regions in CAL group were negatively-correlated with Gensini scores( median:19.0) (r = -0.553, P <0.01 ). (4)The blood supply of BB and BB region was provided by right sinuatrial node artery ( SNA, 58.7%, 121/206 ), left SNA ( 35.9%, 74/206 ) or both SNAs ( 5.3%, 11/206 ).Conclusions DSCTCA could can show the anatomical characteristics of BB and its arterial supply. The serious the degree of CAL , the lower the BB display rate, and the higher the abnormal ECG incidence,which indicate that the occurrence of BB lesions is probably related to ischemia.

ABSTRACT

To elucidate the MR urography (MRU) features of ectopic ureter orifice in children and to explicate its advantages, the clinical data and MRU findings of 4 cases with ectopic ureter orifice were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 4 cases of ectopic ureter orifice, 2 were associated with dysplasia of kidneys, 1 was associated with duplex kidney, and the remaining 1 was associated with cross ectopic and dyplasia kidney. When combining the MRI and MRU examination, we could diagnose the ectopic orifice of the draining ureters. So we concluded that definitive diagnosis could be achieved in most of the cases by integrating clinical information with MRU findings.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of pancreatic fatty replacement and its clinical significance. Methods Three patients with pancreatic fatty replacement detected by CT were retrospectively analyzed. CT examination included plain scan and contrast-enhanced scanning at the arterial and portal venous phases. The shape, size, density, pancreatic lobulation and interlobular spaces, course of the pancreatic duct were carefully observed. The clinic and laboratory data were also analyzed to determine the clinical significance of pancreatic fatty replacement. Results ①Imaging features: Two patients had complete fatty replacement involving the entire pancreas, another one had most fatty replacement sparing the posterior aspect of head and tail. Two patients had regular configuration of pancreas. The size of pancreas was slightly enlarged in 2 patients. Lobular atrophy and widening of interlobular spaces were present in all 3 patients. The pancreatic duct was normal in 3 patients. ②Clinic findings: Chronic diarrhea was present in 3 patients. Two patiens had diabetes (one had chronic cholangitis with choledochal lithiasis), another one had small stone in the common bile duct. Serum lipase was low in 3 patients, of which one had low serum amylase. Conclusion Pancreatic fatty replacement demonstrates certain characteristic CT appearances, and is usually associated with disturbances of both the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the appropriate reconstruction techniques of multi-detector-row spiral CT angiography (MDCTA) to depict the collateral vessels in cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) caused by tumor thrombosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods MDCTA scanning was performed during the portal venous phase after intravenous contrast materials in 18 HCC patients with CTPV induced by tumor thrombosis. Raw data were reconstructed with thin slice thickness followed by 2D and 3D angiographic reconstruction methods, including maximum intensity projection(MIP), shade surface display (SSD) and volume rendering technique(VRT). Results MDCTA with MIP reconstruction accurately depicted both the tumor thrombus within the portal vein and the collateral vessels of CTPV including the biliary (cystic vein and pericholedochal veinous plexus) and the gastric (left and right gastric veins) branches. However, VRT and SSD methods did poorly in showing the tumor thrombus and the collateral vessels. Conclusion MDCTA with MIP reconstruction is the method of choice to evaluate the collateral vessels of CTPV.
