Magnetic resonance imaging of musculoskeletal soft tissue masses 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Siegel MJ 《Radiologic clinics of North America》2001,39(4):701-720
The role of MR imaging in the evaluation of children with large, deep, or infiltrative soft tissue masses is to characterize and determine the extent of the lesion for treatment planning. There are a small number of soft tissue tumors with MR imaging appearances characteristic enough to allow a specific diagnosis, obviating biopsy. In the remaining cases with nonspecific imaging appearances, MR imaging is used for anatomic staging, but tissue sampling is still required for determining histology and grading. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is not routinely used to exclude ligamentous and other soft tissue injury in the unconscious
trauma patient. In order to determine the frequency and types of soft tissue injuries detected by MR imaging but not by computed
tomography (CT), we performed a retrospective investigation comparing the MR findings in 59 trauma patients, either alert
or unconscious, who previously had undergone a negative clearance multislice CT study of the cervical spine. Six patients
had abnormalities not identified on the CT studies, including four cases of ligamentous injury. 相似文献

The role of MR imaging in invasive cervical carcinoma 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In this article the role of MR imaging in the management of cervical cancer is reviewed and illustrated. The appearance of
the normal uterine cervix and of cervical carcinoma is shown. Important factors for optimal MR imaging of cervical carcinoma
are reviewed. The value of MR imaging in the staging of cervical carcinoma is illustrated by showing parametrial invasion
and lymph node involvement. Finally, the value of MR imaging staging is compared with clinical staging, CT staging, and surgical
findings. The role of new imaging techniques, such as fast dynamic enhanced MR imaging, is described.

The purpose of this study was to determine the value of MR imaging for the demonstration of masses in the tongue and floor
of the mouth. Nine patients were prospectively examined with MR imaging after physical examination. Imaging protocol included
T2 and contrast-enhanced and non-contrast-enhanced T1-weighted turbo spin-echo sequences, and the findings were compared with
surgical and histopathological results. Histopathological examination revealed four squamous cell carcinomas, one adenoid
cystic carcinoma, two tongue abscesses, and one chronic inflammatory change. The other case was diagnosed as hemangioma depending
on clinical and imaging findings alone. In cases with squamous cell carcinoma, staging was done on the basis of MR imaging
findings, and was found to be T4 in two cases, T3 in one case, and T2 in another. The primary role of MR imaging of the tongue
and oropharynx is not to make a tissue diagnosis. Multiple deep biopsies are mandatory for the differentiation of other inflammatory
and neoplastic lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging produces coronal and sagittal image planes to assess the volume and spread
of the lesion and helps the surgeon determine the direction in which the biopsy should be performed.

Mediastinal myelolipoma: CT and MRI appearances 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kawanami S Watanabe H Aoki T Nakata H Hayashi T Kido M Tsukada J Eto S 《European radiology》2000,10(4):691-693
A 72-year-old man presented with a mediastinal mass on chest radiograph. Computed tomography and MR imaging showed that the
mass consisted of both fatty and small nodular soft tissue components, highly suggestive of an extramedullary hematopoiesis
or a myelolipoma. A CT-guided needle biopsy was next performed and confirmed the diagnosis. We discuss the CT and MR imaging
appearances of this tumor and usefulness of a CT-guided needle biopsy to avoid surgery in asymptomatic patients.

Diagnostic imaging is pivotal in the initial detection, characterization, staging and post-treatment follow-up of patients
with high-grade osteogenic and Ewing’s sarcoma. In the present review article, conventional and new imaging modalities are
discussed with regard to the monitoring of the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in such patients. Presurgical monitoring
of response to chemotherapy may have an impact on modification of neoadjuvant treatment protocols, on patient selection for
the performance and timing of limb-salvage surgery and on planning of radiation therapy (in non-operated Ewing’s sarcomas)
and selection of postoperative chemotherapy regimens. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, as part of a routine MR protocol,
assists in the detection of the most viable parts of the tumour and serves as an initial standard for follow-up of the metabolic
activity of the tumour during and after chemotherapy, both in small intraosseous tumours and in tumours with an associated
soft tissue mass. In combination with selected morphological features, dynamic imaging parameters are therefore advocated
for monitoring the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with osteogenic and Ewing’s sarcoma. 相似文献

Over the past decade, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been established as the most widely used examination for the detection of a suspected soft tissue mass and often for depiction of the extent and the characterization of the mass. Sensitivity of the examination for the detection of soft tissue masses is high but specificity is limited. With experience accrued over the past decade, radiologists are increasingly able to predict the histology of lesions based on MR imaging criteria. However, because of the overlap of morphologic features of benign and malignant soft tissue masses, a benign-appearing mass should not be considered benign unless the tumor can be specifically named and its histology predicted by well-established MR imaging features. When a mass is not thought to be an overt sarcoma and there is uncertainty as to whether it is benign or malignant, the tumor should be characterized as indeterminate and approached as a sarcoma until proven otherwise. This article reviews MR imaging in diagnosing and staging soft tissue masses and briefly discusses the radiologist?s approach to percutaneous biopsy of indeterminate soft tissue masses. 相似文献

Summary
Cross-sectional imaging with CT and MRI plays an indispensable complementary role to endoscopy in the pretherapeutic workup
and staging of laryngeal neoplasms. Adequate interpretation of the CT and MR images requires a thorough knowledge of the patterns
of submucosal spread and familiarity with the diagnostic signs of neoplastic invasion as seen with each modality. In addition,
the radiologist should be aware of the implications of imaging for staging and treatment. Both CT and MR imaging are highly
sensitive for the detection of neoplastic invasion of the pre-epiglottic space, paraglottic space, subglottic region and cartilage.
The high negative predictive value of both CT and MRI allows exclusion of neoplastic cartilage invasion quite reliably. The
specificity of both CT and MRI is, however, limited and both methods may therefore overestimate the extent of tumor spread.
Nevertheless, both cross-sectional imaging methods significantly improve the pretherapeutic staging accuracy of laryngeal
tumors if used in addition to clinical examination and endoscopic biopsy. In the presence of a submucosal mass, CT and MRI
play a key role for the diagnosis, as they may characterize the lesion, reliably depict its submucosal extent, and guide the
endoscopist to perform deep biopsies that allow a definitive histological diagnosis.

Rectal tumour staging: MR imaging using pelvic phased-array and endorectal coils vs endoscopic ultrasonography 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Blomqvist L Machado M Rubio C Gabrielsson N Granqvist S Goldman S Holm T 《European radiology》2000,10(4):653-660
The aim of this study was to compare MR imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for the local staging of rectal tumours.
Forty-nine patients were examined on a 1.5-T MR unit using either a pelvic phased-array coil (n = 37) alone or combined with an endorectal coil (n = 12). Sagittal and axial sequences with T2-weighted fast spin-echo and axial T1-weighted spin-echo techniques were employed.
The EUS technique was performed using a flexible endosonoscope. The results were compared with findings at histopathological
sectioning of the specimen. The T-stage on MR correlated with histopathology in 32 of 49 patients and on EUS in 29 of 49 patients.
The N-stage on MR correlated with histopathology in 22 of 49 patients and on EUS in 26 of 49 patients. Tumour penetration
of the rectal wall was predicted by MR with 86 % sensitivity and 65 % specificity, and by EUS with 89 % sensitivity and 33
% specificity. Preoperative radiotherapy was administered to 40 of the patients after the examinations which may explain some
of the overstaging by MR and EUS. Three patients with surgically and histopathologically confirmed invasion of neighbouring
organs in the pelvis were detected preoperatively on MR but none on EUS. Tumour penetration of the rectal wall and local lymph
node metastases cannot accurately be predicted with MR or EUS. Magnetic resonance, however, seems to be more useful for preoperative
identification of clinically occult advanced disease.

The aim of this study was to describe cross-sectional imaging features of recurrent papilloma of the nasal fossa and paranasal
sinuses and to evaluate the role of MR and CT in the postoperative follow-up of this lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging and
CT of ten patients who presented recurrence of inverted papilloma were reviewed and correlated to initial imaging, endoscopy,
and surgical reports. Imaging patterns of recurrent inverted papilloma are identical to those of initial tumors and recurrence
location is closely related to the site of the former lesion. Magnetic resonance is more efficient than CT for the diagnosis
and evaluation of extensions. Magnetic resonance supplies the deficiencies of endoscopy in case of extensions to the frontal
sinus or the lateral recess of the antrum, especially if mucosal hyperplasia or sinusitis is associated. Magnetic resonance
imaging is the first imaging modality to perform in the follow-up after removal of inverted papilloma.

This review examines the role of MR imaging in the diagnosis and staging of tumors and tumorlike lesions of bone and soft tissue. For tumors of bone, the plain radiograph is not only the least expensive diagnostic test but is the most reliable predictor of the histologic nature of a given lesion. Consequently, it should be the first procedure performed and serve as the basis for determining the next step in the patient's evaluation. MR imaging is the examination of choice for staging bone tumors. CT is preferred to MR imaging only when the characteristics of the lesion are inadequately defined on plain radiographs, as may occur in flat bones. Although MR imaging is of limited value in predicting the histology of bone tumors, it is a useful tool for distinguishing round-cell tumors and metastases from stress fractures and medullary infarcts in symptomatic patients with normal radiographs. For depiction of soft-tissue masses, MR imaging is unrivaled. The histologic nature of a soft-tissue mass may, in some instances, be predicted on the basis of its MR appearance and multicentricity. Biopsy of bone and soft-tissue tumors should follow and not precede MR imaging. MR imaging reliably shows change in tumor volume after radiation or chemotherapy. It is less reliable in predicting the amount of tumor necrosis. 相似文献

We believe that MR imaging should follow plain films in the imaging analysis of soft-tissue tumors and bone tumors suspected of malignancy. MR imaging is primarily useful in tumor staging, although it may aid in diagnosis and the detection of recurrent or residual disease. Gd-DTPA and MR spectroscopy are currently being evaluated in many medical centers; their utility in the work-up and management of tumors of bone and soft tissue has yet to be determined. 相似文献

Value of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences in early MRI of the brain in neonates with a perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The aim of our study was to assess the usefulness of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences in comparison
with conventional spin-echo and inversion MR imaging in neonates for evaluation of myelination and for detection of hypoxic-ischemic
brain injury. We reviewed early MR scans of 18 neonates with suspected hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. Myelination could be
evaluated with confidence using conventional MR imaging in all but 2 infants; however, the presence of myelin was very difficult
to assess on FLAIR images. Overall, 53 lesions or groups of lesions were identified. The FLAIR technique was more sensitive
in 11 of the lesions; especially (pre)cystic lesions could be identified much better and more cysts were found. Conventional
MR imaging failed to identify 2 of the lesions and was more sensitive in 14 of the lesions; especially punctate hemorrhages
and lesions in basal ganglia or thalami could be better determined. The FLAIR technique missed 3 of these lesions. In the
remaining 28 lesions conventional MR and FLAIR images were equally diagnostic. The FLAIR technique and conventional MR imaging
are complementary in detecting early sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonates. The FLAIR technique is not suitable
for assessing myelination of the neonatal brain; therefore, FLAIR cannot replace conventional MR imaging.

Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional helical CT for soft tissue tumors in the extremities 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Objective. To evaluate the ability of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) helical computed tomography (CT) to image soft tissue
tumors in the extremities.
Design and patients. Forty-five consecutive patients with soft tissue tumors in the extremities were examined (mean age 46.2 years; 24 females,
21 males). Twenty-five patients had benign lesions and 20 had malignant lesions. All the patients underwent contrast-enhanced
3DCT scanning and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging preoperatively. All patients were surgically treated. Spiral CT scanning
was performed with intravenous contrast enhancement. 3D reconstruction images were produced after thresholding, using Active-Windows
(version 2.0, General Electric, Milwaukee, WI) software. 3DCT findings were compared in a masked fashion with the MR imaging
and surgical findings regarding bone and major vessel invasion by the tumors.
Results. Forty-four of 45 tumors were satisfactorily imaged for the interpretation of their size, location and relationship to the
skeleton and major vessels. One malignant tumor was judged on 3DCT to invade the major vessel, but the vessel proved to be
normal at surgery.
Conclusions. Contrast-enhanced 3D helical CT can be used for the evaluation of soft tissue tumors in the extremities, for preoperative
surgical planning.

Gleno-humeral instabilities 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
The purpose of this review is to highlight the most efficient imaging exploratory techniques depicting shoulder instability,
to describe its various forms and to point out the findings which can simulate instability. In anterior recurrent dislocation,
surgery is indicated and the procedure essentially depends on the importance of glenoid rim lesions. In this case, a standard
X-ray evaluation is usually sufficient. The CT arthrography or MRI techniques give more specific details as to the severity
of the lesions, particularly soft tissues alterations; however, these data do not alter standard therapeutic protocol. In
fixed posterior dislocations, CT scan represents the most pertinent technique to evaluate the size of the humeral head defect
and to determine the therapeutic follow-up. In subtle forms of instability, diagnosis or instability direction are not clearly
assessed clinically and standard X-ray evaluation is usually unremarkable. In this case, further exploration, such as CT arthrography,
MR imaging or MR arthrography, are recommended to confirm the diagnosis of instability and to evaluate its direction. The
technique of choice is undoubtedly MR arthrography. Atraumatic voluntary painless subluxations associated with hyperlaxity
of the shoulder do not require any specific exploratory method because the findings are generally limited to a capacious axillary
pouch.

MRI of breast tumors 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Kuhl CK 《European radiology》2000,10(1):46-58
Breast MRI is increasingly used as an adjunct to conventional imaging modalities, particularly in diagnostic problem cases,
but also for pre-operative staging. It is an extremely sensitive technique, with relatively limited specificity. To avoid
both, false-positive, but particularly false-negative diagnoses, it is imperative to be familiar with the varying MRI appearance
of benign and malignant breast tumors. This review serves to give an overview of the different criteria that can be used for
differential diagnostic purposes. Moreover, practical guidelines are given to help with the adequate management of enhancing
lesions. 相似文献

MR Imaging features of pelvic mucinous carcinomas 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Mucinous carcinomas in the pelvis differ from non-mucinous tumors because of the differences in clinical outcome and imaging
appearance. Mucinous rectal carcinomas, for example, are known to be higher in stage at the time of the diagnosis because
they are more likely to be infiltrative and show a greater tendency for recurrence. These factors may lead to a poorer prognosis
in patients with the mucinous as compared with non-mucinous carcinomas. Mucinous carcinomas of all types typically show high
signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images, and therefore mimic other conditions such as necrotic tumors, fluid collections,
cysts, or liver hemangiomas. To familiarize readers with the MRI appearance, and to avoid pitfalls, this paper illustrates
the MRI features of the mucinous adenocarcinomas in various pelvic organs.

We report the MR appearance of a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis, which is a previously unreported etiology for knee mass.
The role of MR imaging in differentiating fat necrosis from other causes of soft tissue masses is discussed. We conclude that
MR characteristics of subcutaneous fat necrosis are typical and allow its differentiation from other types of soft tissue
lesions. 相似文献

Admission supine chest radiographs are the initial and most commonly performed imaging study to evaluate the thorax following
trauma. Whenever the chest radiograph is ambiguous or suggestive of a diagnosis of acute diaphragmatic injury, CT is the next
study of choice since it is generally available and often used to examine other body regions of the polytraumatized patient.
CT is usually diagnostic, particularly if supplemented by multiplanar reformations obtained using a thin slice thickness.
Currently MR imaging is used at our trauma center to evaluate the diaphragm in patients with an indeterminate diagnosis after
spiral CT. A limited MR imaging examination with T1-weighted sagittal and coronal imaging has been extremely accurate in establishing
or excluding diaphragm injury. 相似文献

Local recurrence of rectal cancer: MR imaging before and after oral superparamagnetic particles vs contrast-enhanced computed tomography 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The aim of this study was to compare three imaging strategies for the diagnosis of local recurrence of rectal cancer: (a) MR imaging; (b) MR imaging after administration of enteral superparamagnetic particles (Ferristene); and (c) contrast-enhanced CT. Seventeen patients with previous surgery for rectal cancer were examined, 12 patients with local tumour recurrence in the pelvis and 5 patients with postoperative changes. Pelvic multi-coil MR imaging before and after oral administration of superparamagnetic contrast medium [Abdoscan (Ferristene USAN), Nycomed-Amersham, Liding?, Sweden] as well as abdominal and pelvic CT was performed in all patients. The examinations were independently evaluated by three different radiologists. The general effect of the oral MR contrast medium, the delineation of normal and pathological structures as well as confidence in the diagnosis were registered on a visual analog scale (VAS). The diagnosis according to MR before and after oral contrast medium, and CT, was compared, in 16 patients, with the final diagnosis which was verified by biopsy (n = 3), surgery (n = 6), clinical follow-up (n = 4) and by follow-up with MR or CT (n = 3). No significant improvement in MR image quality was found after enteral contrast medium. The post-contrast MR diagnosis was not changed in any of the patients. The diagnosis on MR correlated with the final diagnosis in 12 of 16 patients (sensitivity 91%, accuracy 62%) and the diagnosis on CT in 11 of 16 patients (sensitivity 82 %, accuracy 56 %). The radiologists' "confidence" in the diagnosis and the degree of accordance with the final diagnosis did not score higher on MR after than before oral contrast administration; however, the accordance with the final diagnosis scored better on MR than on CT. No advantages of orally administered superparamagnetic contrast medium were observed in the examined patient group. Magnetic resonance is preferable to CT in diagnosing local tumour recurrence. 相似文献
