Prediction and Detection of Secondary Hemorrhages after Thrombolytic Therapy in Ischemic Stroke

Abstract It is well established that thrombolytic therapy increases the risk of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage in ischemic stroke patients. However, the term “intracerebral hemorrhage” (ICH) covers a wide spectrum from tiny spots of blood to massive space-occupying hematoma. We will review the etiology and clinical consequences of secondary hemorrhage after thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients and discuss the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict this phenomenon. MRI is a highly sensitive tool for detection of hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke. The definitions of a so-called symptomatic hemorrhage after ischemic infarction differ considerably and will also be described. Attributing a causal relationship of a clinical deterioration to a secondary hemorrhage is not easy and should be only addressed when it exceeds at least 30% of the infarct volume. In other patients, secondary hemorrhage might be regarded as side effect of reperfusion within the region with the most severe perfusion deficit. Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are a frequent finding in patients with leukoaraiosis and appear to be a general marker of various types of bleeding- prone small vessel disease and a predictor of recurrent vascular events. Current data do not support the hypothesis that the detection of CMBs is a useful diagnostic criterion for the exclusion of patients with CMBs from thrombolytic therapy. However, an increased risk for the rare patients with numerous CMBs can not be ruled out.

[目的]探讨鼻咽癌颈静脉孔侵犯的临床和影像学特征及临床意义。[方法]回顾性分析8例初治和4例复发鼻咽癌伴颈静脉孔侵犯者的临床表现、CT及MRI特征。[结果]12例中,5例表现为Ⅸ￣Ⅺ颅神经均麻痹的颈静脉孔综合征,7例仅表现为Ⅸ颅神经麻痹。12例,有10例合并舌下神经管受累,3例有一侧的胸锁乳突肌及斜方肌萎缩,2例有一侧舌肌萎缩。CT及MRI显示鼻咽癌颈静脉孔侵犯主要有3种途径,分别为:①鼻咽病变通过茎突后间隙直接蔓延(4例,包括1例茎突后间隙复发);②转移淋巴结直接侵犯(4例,其中2例为咽后淋巴结转移,2例为颈动脉鞘淋巴结复发);③颈静脉孔骨性结构直接破坏(4例,其中1例为单纯颈静脉孔复发)。[结论]鼻咽癌可通过直接蔓延、咽后和颈动脉鞘区转移淋巴结侵犯及骨质直接破坏侵犯颈静脉孔,临床上出现Ⅸ￣Ⅺ颅神经一支或多支均麻痹。CT和MRI,尤其是MRI对于病变的诊断、病变范围的确定和放射治疗计划的制定有非常大的作用。     

Optimizing the efficiency of high-field multivoxel spectroscopic imaging by multiplexing in space and time.

A new strategy to yield information from the maximum number of voxels, each at the optimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per unit time, in MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is introduced. In the past, maximum acquisition duty-cycle was obtained by multiplexing in time several single slices each repetition time (TR), while optimal SNR was achieved by encoding the entire volume of interest (VOI) each TR. We show that optimal SNR and acquisition efficiency can both be achieved simultaneously by multiplexing in space and time several slabs of several slices, each. Since coverage of common VOIs in 3D proton MRSI in the human brain typically requires eight or more slices, at 3 T or higher magnetic fields, two or more slabs can fit into the optimum TR (approximately 1.6 s). Since typically four or less slices would then fit into each slab, Hadamard encoding is favored in that direction for slice profile reasons. It is demonstrated that per fixed examination length, the new method gives, at 3 T, twice as many voxels, each of the same SNR and size, compared with current 3D chemical shift imaging techniques. It is shown that this gain will increase for more extensive spatial coverage or higher fields.
