Accelerating cardiac cine 3D imaging using k-t BLAST.

By exploiting spatiotemporal correlations in cardiac acquisitions using k-t BLAST, gated cine 3D acquisitions of the heart were accelerated by a net factor of 4.3, making single breathhold acquisitions possible. Sparse sampling of k-t space along a sheared grid pattern was implemented into a cine 3D SSFP sequence. The acquisition of low-resolution training data, which was required to resolve aliasing in the k-t BLAST method, was either interleaved into the sampling process or obtained in a separate prescan to allow for shorter breathhold durations in patients with heart disease. Volumetric datasets covering the heart with 20 slices at a spatial resolution of 2 x 2 x 5 mm3 were recorded with 20 cardiac phases in a total breathhold duration of 25-27 sec, or 18 sec if partial Fourier sampling was additionally employed. The feasibility of the method was demonstrated on healthy volunteers and on patients. The comparison of endocardial area derived from single slices of the 3D dataset with values extracted from separate single-slice acquisitions showed no significant differences. By shortening the acquisition substantially, k-t BLAST may greatly facilitate volumetric imaging of the heart for evaluation of regional wall motion and the assessment of ventricular volume and ejection fraction.     

椎管内占位病变的CT评价

本文回顾性分析了２８例椎管内占位病变（包括椎管内肿瘤２４例、蛛网膜囊肿２例、硬膜外脓肿和椎同盘突出各１例）的ＣＴ表现。着重讨论了造影剂增强ＣＴ的特征。大多数增强ＣＴ可显示肿块的轮廓，有助于肿块定位。室管膜瘤和星形细胞瘤的增强ＣＴ表现类似，但雪旺氏瘤、海绵状血管瘤和脓肿具有增强ＣＴ特征；同时还对脂肪瘤、脊膜瘤和蛛网膜囊肿的增强ＣＴ特征进行了探讨。增强ＣＴ定位困难时，ＣＴＭ可有很大的帮助。     

Adult medulloblastoma: review of 13 cases with emphasis on MRI

Medulloblastomas are generally associated with childhood, but 14–30% occur in adults, accounting for 1% of adult central nervous system tumors. While approximately one third of adult medulloblastomas present as vermian tumors similar to those seen in childhood, the majority differ substantially from the childhood variety. In this series of 13 patients, 5 had lateral, seemingly extra-axial masses in the cerebellopontine angle or at the tentorium, simulating meningiomas or acoustic neuromas, but angiographic hypovascularity in 2 of the latter suggested a diagnosis other than meningioma. Of 4 paramedian tumors, 3 diffusely infiltrated the cerebellar white matter, showed little or no gadolinium enhancement and were not associated with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus was present in less than half of our patients; in childhood the reported incidence is 85–100%. A possible association with pregancy was noted.     

20例胃平滑肌肿瘤的病理-X线分析

为了提高对胃平滑肌肿瘤的认识,作者回顾性分析了20例经手术、病理证实的胃平滑肌肿瘤的钡餐造影所见。结果表明,胃底与胃体上部是胃平滑肌肿瘤的病变高发区。本病具有典型胃粘膜下肿瘤的X线特征,腔内型者可见胃内边缘光滑的充盈缺损或软组织肿块,粘膜展平或推移;腔外型者可见突出胃外肿块或/和胃与邻近脏器受压;腔内外型者具有上述双重特征,肿瘤较大者多有溃疡形成,甚至囊变,根据肿瘤的大小、形态、生长类型及溃疡表现可作良恶性鉴别。本病的术前诊断主要依靠X线钡餐检查,但无胃肠压迫的腔外型肿瘤,钡餐则难以发现,CT或选择性血管造影可助诊断。     

Cartilage destruction in small joints by rheumatoid arthritis: assessment of fat-suppressed three-dimensional gradient-echo MR pulse sequences in vitro

Purpose. To assess the accuracy of different MR sequences for the detection of articular cartilage abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis. Design and patients. Ten metacarpophalangeal joints and 10 metatarsophalangeal joints (specimens from arthritis patients undergoing ablative joint surgery) were examined with a fat-suppressed (FS) 3D FLASH, a FS 3D FISP, a FS 2D fast spin-echo T2-weighted, and a 2D FS spin-echo T1-weighted sequence. Each cartilage lesion and each cortical lesion was graded from 0 to 4 (modified Outerbridge staging system). Subsequently, the results of each sequence were compared with the macroscopic findings and statistically tested against each other. Results. The study shows that 3D gradient-echo sequences with fat suppression were best for imaging and grading of cartilage lesions in arthritis of the small joints of the hands and feet. Using 3D techniques, all grade 2, grade 3, and grade 4 lesions of cartilage or cortical bone were detected. Conclusion. FS 3D gradient-echo techniques were best for the detection and grading of hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone lesions in rheumatoid arthritis. MRI has a great potential as an objective method of evaluating cartilage damage and bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis.     

Fixation instability and oculomotor abnormalities in Friedreich's ataxia

Eye movements were studied in 13 patients with Friedreich's ataxia and correlated with MRI findings to investigate whether oculomotor abnormalities can be traced to cerebellar disturbances in this disease. One of the most prominent eye signs was fixation instability (square-wave jerks, SWJ.). Besides SWJ the patients showed various combinations of cerebellar, vestibular and brain-stem oculomotor signs. Our patients did not comprise a homogeneous group with regard to their oculomotor findings. There was no correlation between the severity of any of the so-called cerebellar oculomotor disturbances and the number of SWJ. We tried to correlate the extent of oculomotor disturbances with floccular atrophy and atrophy of the dorsal vermis on MRI in seven of the patients. None of the oculomotor features (including SWJ) correlated with flocculus or dorsal vermis size. Furthermore, floccular and vermal measurements on MRI were normal. Accordingly, we think it unlikely that the oculomotor disturbances, including SWJ, are attributable to cerebellar pathology per se.     

医疗照射剂量水平及其防护

本文讨论了医疗照射的频度、剂量水平和防护问题。诊断X线检查频度在发达国家为每年每千人300—900人次,在发展中国家为100—200人次/千人·年,我国为124.5人次/千人·年;平均有效剂量当量在发达国家为1mSv/年·人,全世界平均值为0.4mSv/年·人,我国为 0.5mSv/年·人;医疗照射所致超额死亡率在发达国家估计为10—15/百万人,我国为4.27/百万人。 我国的诊断X线检查频度和剂量水平将进一步增长,为减少医疗照射,我们必须采取预防措施。
