RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance (MRI) multi-b-value scatter weighted imaging (DWI) combined with spectral imaging (MRS) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.Methods:From November 2016 to August 2018, 33 patients with prostate cancer and 62 patients with benign prostatic lesions in the People's Hospital of Yongjia County were selected.DWI and MRS scans were performed and compared with pathological findings.Results:The DWI signal intensity of prostate cancer at the b value of 600s/mm 2, 1 000s/mm 2, 2 000s/mm 2 and 3 000s/mm 2 were significantly higher than those of benign prostatic lesions (all P<0.05). With the increase of b value, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI in diagnosis of prostate cancer increased, under 3 000s/mm 2, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 87.88%(29/33), 82.26% (51/62) and 84.21%(80/95), respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRS in diagnosing prostate cancer were 69.70%(23/33), 79.03%(49/62) and 75.79%(72/95), respectively.The (choline+ creatine)/(citrate) (CC/C) value of prostate cancer (2.50±0.94) was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic lesions (0.93±0.23)( t=12.519, P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of DWI at b value of 3 000s/mm 2 combined with MRS in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 96.97%(32/33), 88.71%(55/62) and 91.58%(87/95), respectively. Conclusion:DWI combined with MRS has good application value in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the CT features of early infection stage of thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis. Methods Medical records of 56 patients with thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis from January 2010 to June 2017 were collected, and the patients were diagnosed and treated at Yongjia County People's Hospital, and the results of laboratory examination and CT imaging features were analyzed retrospectively. Results The absolute value of eosinophils in peripheral blood of 56 patients was (5.61 ± 3.18) × 109/L, and the percentage of eosinophils was (35.90 ± 19.16)％, all of which increased to varying degrees. Forty-two patients had different degrees of pleural effusion and 52 cases with lung lesions. Lung lesions demonstrated one or several kinds of foci at the same time, randomly distributed in the lung field, mostly located in the sub-pleural lung tissue. There were 12 cases with pulmonary ground glass shadow, 4 cases with peribronchitis, 31 cases with pulmonary invasive lesions and 28 cases with pulmonary nodular/strip shadow. The size of most nodules were 0.5 - 1.0 cm, accompanied with halo sign. Conclusions The CT features of early infection stage of thoracic and pulmonary paragonimiasis are diverse. The size of 0.5 - 1.0 cm lung nodules with halo sign has certain characteristics in the diagnosis of paragonimiasis. Peribronchitis, infiltrative lesions, pleural effusion and increased peripheral blood eosinophil percentage can suggest diagnosis.
RESUMO
To investigate the CT appearances in early stage of clustering lung paragonimiasis,9 cases of two clustering lung paragonimiasis caused by eating raw stone-crab and laboratory examination were included in the study.Eight cases consulted by doctors in the hospital and their appearances were retrospectively analyzed.There were pleural effusion of varying degree (n=8) and random distribution sub-pleural pulmonary infiltrative lesions (n=7).The accompany appearances of the latter had lunar halo sign,characteristic tunnel sign (n=1) and peri-bronchitis (n=1).If CT detects pulmonary infiltrative lesions of random distribution within sub-pleura or tunnel sign,combining with the history of eating raw stone crabs and other freshwater fishes,with the rise of eosinophilic granulocytes in peripheral blood,the diagnosis of paragonimiasis should be suggested.
