A case of unilateral opercular syndrome associated with a subcortical lesion

Summary A patient who developed a unilateral opercular syndrome following a cerebrovascular accident is described. Computed tomography showed that the lesion did not affect the opercular cortex, but involved deep white matter and the head of the caudate nucleus of the left hemisphere. Persistent hypophonia and transient aphasia were associated. Comparison with previous cases is discussed.

CT扫描及超声内镜术前评价进展期食管癌

目的比较胸部螺旋CT增强扫描及微探头超声内镜 (MPS)检查在评价进展期食管癌中的价值。方法 :32例进展期食管癌术前行CT扫描和MPS检查并与术后病理学比较。结果 :CT扫描能发现 84 .4 %的食管癌病灶 ,但不能准确诊断癌肿浸润深度 ,诊断纵隔结构受侵准确率 75 % ,发现区域淋巴结转移的敏感性90 .9% ,特异性 81.8% ,对纵隔内远处淋巴结转移诊断准确率 80 %。MPS检查能检出所有病例的进展期食管癌病灶 ,癌肿浸润深度诊断准确率 81.3% ,诊断纵隔结构受侵准确率 5 0 % ,诊断区域淋巴结转移敏感性81.8% ,特异性 72 .7% ,而对纵隔内远处转移的淋巴结均未能探及。结论 :CT扫描在评价进展期食管癌纵隔内结构受侵及远处淋巴结转移的意义较大。而MPS检查在判断癌肿管腔浸润深度的准确率较高。     

Cortical circumferential profile of SPECT cerebral perfusion in Alzheimer''s disease

We developed a semiautomatic method termed “cortical circumferential profiling” for objective analysis of cerebral cortex function in emission tomographic neuroimaging studies. This method treats cortex as a continuous ring near the outer brain edge. A computer algorithm samples the cortex at 60 contiguous, equiangular locations, using 1-cm² samples. These values are plotted as a function of cortical angle to produce the cortical circumferential profile. This method was used in a study of regional cerebral perfusion in 15 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 8 elderly control subjects using N-isopropyl [I-123]-iodoamphetamine. Cortical circumferential profiling decreases variability, examines the entire cortex within slices at preselected levels above the orbital-meatal line, and facilitates intrasubject and intersubject comparisons.     

New insights on COPD imaging via CT and MRI

Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) can be used to quantify morphological features and investigate structure/function relationship in COPD. This approach allows a phenotypical definition of COPD patients, and might improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and suggest new therapeutical options. In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also become potentially suitable for the assessment of ventilation, perfusion and respiratory mechanics. This review focuses on the established clinical applications of CT, and novel CT and MRI techniques, which may prove valuable in evaluating the structural and functional damage in COPD.

肾嫌色细胞癌的影像表现与病理对照分析

目的分析肾嫌色细胞癌（CCRC）的影像表现特征并与病理结果进行对照，以提高诊断准确性。方法回顾性分析了12例CCRC的资料，其中10例经CT检查，包括平扫、皮质期和髓质期动态增强扫描（1例无皮质期扫描）。2例经MR检查，包括平扫T1WI、T2WI及皮质期和髓质期动态增强T1WI。结果病灶位于左肾4例，右肾8例，最大径24．0～125．0mm，平均56．7mm。10例CT检查中，6例在平扫上密度均匀一致，5例增强后扫描强化均匀一致，与病理上该肿瘤较少发生坏死、囊变、出血对应。皮质期，9个病灶的强化程度均高于髓质，低于皮质，强化程度与微血管密度密切相关；髓质期，10个病灶密度均明显低于髓质。2个体积较大的病灶内见中央星状瘢痕。4个病灶周围见假包膜。MR检查的2例相对于髓质，病灶在平扫T1WI上呈高信号，在T2WI上，表现为明显的低信号。病灶的强化方式与CT相似。结论CCRC在CT及MRI上的均质性特点、独特的强化方式及T1WI上呈相对于髓质的明显低信号，具有一定的特征性，有助于与其他肿瘤鉴别。
