Three-dimensional CT in the diagnosis of spinal trauma: comparison with plain film and two-dimensional CT examinations

To assess the value of three-dimensional (3D) image reconstructions of two-dimensional (2D) data from contiguous non-overlapping slices in the diagnosis of spinal trauma, 21 patients with a total of 36 injured vertebrae and 4 normal controls were examined. Forty plain films in two planes, 40 axial CT scans with multiplanar reformatted (MPR) 2D reconstructions and 40 sets of 3D images (surface rendering technique) were independently evaluated by four readers. The final diagnosis was defined after a panel review of clinical, surgical and imaging findings on all modalities. The 3D image reconstructions were not as accurate as axial CT with MPR 2D reconstructions in the diagnosis of vertebral body (n = 20) and posterior element fractures (n = 35). Dislocation (n = 3) was equally well detected by all imaging modalities. Narrowing of the spinal canal (n = 17) was best assessed by either MPR 2D CT or 3D images. A rotational component was diagnosed more accurately by 3D images, followed by 2D CT and plain films. Thus, 3D images combined with MPR 2D CT reconstructions are an important adjunct for an accurate diagnosis of spinal trauma, especially when a rotational component is suspected.Presented at the 1993 ECR Scientific Assembly Correspondence to: C.

Diagnosis of intracranial haemangiopericytomas with angiography and CT scanning

Summary Twentyone primary intracranial haemangiopericytomas (HPC) were operated on from 1953 to 1983. The mean age of the 12 male and nine female patients was 38 years (17–64). Plain skull films showed well-defined bone destruction in two patients. Angiograms of 18 tumours (14 primary and four recurrent) showed the following when analysed according to the criteria of Marc et al. [4]: dual arterial supply (17/18), one-three main feeders giving rise to many irregular corkscrewlike vessels (16/18), dense, well-defined and long-lasting tumour stain (17/18), but early venous drainage rarely (1/18). The overall impression was that eight tumours appeared to be typical HPCs on angiogram. Five tumours had suggestive features, though not enough to justify specific angiographic diagnosis, and five were more like classical meningiomas. The larger tumours were more typical of HPCs, the smaller ones resembled meningiomas.CT scans of eight tumours (three primary and five recurrent) were available. The tumours were attached with a broad base to the convexity or other dural surfaces, often bilaterally. No calcifications were seen. There was little, if any, surrounding oedema. Contrast enhancement was strong and homogeneous. Four of the tumours were ring like, but the ring was thick and regular, in contrast to that in glioblastomas. The tumour margin was well-defined and smooth in three tumours, and nodular margins were seen in five; two of the latter grew extensively along dural surfaces. This sign may suggest aggressive biological behaviour. If both angiograms and CT scans are available, HPCs can be differentiated from glioblastomas and classical meningiomas, but perhaps not from anaplastic meningiomas.     

Serial CT studies of a metastatic pinealoma with reference to the radiotherapeutic problems

Summary Serial CT studies performed for 1 year on a female patient suffering from a pinealoma are reported. Under cobalt therapy (5000 rads) a remission of the pinealoma was achieved. A short time later, metastases developed and cobalt therapy was repeated (6000 rads). Rapid tumor remission was seen again, but rapid occurrence of probable metastases too. The question whether radionecrosis or metastases were present cannot be answered.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Imaging of the brain in polytraumatized patients comparing 64-row spiral CT with incremental (sequential) CT

Introduction

Up to now, due to a better image quality, for brain imaging the substantially slower sequential examination mode has been preferred during CT in polytraumatized patients. We aimed to re-evaluate modern ultrafast 64-row spiral CT regarding image quality in brain imaging of polytraumatized patients.

Methods

In 30 polytraumatized patients, both 64-row spiral and sequential CT of the brain were performed within 24 h. Retrospectively, two radiologists subjectively evaluated the delineation of the internal capsule, the pons, the medial rectus muscle of the orbita, the differentiation of grey/white matter, and the extent of artifacts at the inner skull. Image noise was also evaluated objectively. Statistics were performed using Cohen's kappa and a two-sided t-test.

Results

Perfect or clear agreements were noted regarding the delineation of the inner skull, the medial rectus muscle, the internal capsule, and grey/white matter differentiation. Due to beam hardening artifacts at the level of the pons, no agreement and no superiority of one of the CT-methods was noted. No differences were obtained regarding the objective evaluation of image noise.

Discussion

Image quality is generally equivalent. Since 64-row spiral CT can substantially save examination time we recommend to perform a spiral examination of the brain in polytraumatized patients.

Preoperative imaging study of the spinal cord vascularization: interest and limits in spine resection for primary tumors

The necessicity to localize the anterior spinal arteries before anterior approach of the spine stays controversial by orthopaedic surgeons. On the other hand the surgical treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurisms routinely sacrifices many segmental arteries pairs without spinal arteries localization. This, associated with spinal cord protection, results to few neurological complication. However, during vertebrectomies, the roots ligation completely interrupts the spinal cord blood supply at this level. In our experience the spinal arteries localization was systematically done before ninety-eight spine resections. In five cases an anterior radiculomedullary artery was ligated (four anterior radiculomedullary and one great anterior radiculomedullary arteries) without neurological complication, in two cases of extended resection (more than four levels) a neurological complication occurred. No spinal artery was identified at the resection level and the neurological complications were resolutive and did not seem related to definitive vascular problem. These accomplishments lead to discuss the importance of spinal arteries localization and preservation in this surgery. The discovery of an anterior radiculomedullary artery is not a contraindication to en-bloc vertebrectomy at this level, nevertheless in the case of great anterior radiculomedullary artery (Adamkiewicz) the surgical indication must be seriously debated. In fact, this case and those where multilevel resections (more than three levels) are indicated seem the most dangerous situations and the use of the different means of spinal cord protection could be indicated to decrease neurological risk. So before spine resection the spinal arteries localization could improve patient information and give more deciding factors for planning treatment.     

Edema in the retropharyngeal space associated with head and neck tumors: CT imaging characteristics

To determine computed tomographic (CT) imaging characteristics of retropharygeal edema, we reviewed CT images in 18 patients with head and neck tumors. Retropharyngeal edema spread craniocaudally between soft palate and upper half of thyroid cartilage in all patients. No edema fluid extended above soft palate and below thyroid cartilage. Horizontally, it spread symmetrically in ten and asymmetrically in eight patients. Predominance in asymmetrical retropharyngeal edema was found on the same side as that of unilateral predominance both in lymph nodes enlargement and jugular vein stenosis/occlusion. All patients had edema also in other cervical spaces. Edema of retropharyngeal and other spaces fluctuated synchronously. In 14 patients, as primary lesion and/or cervical lymph nodes regressed, retropharyngeal edema disappeared or decreased. Retropharyngeal edema had some imaging characteristics. With knowledge of that, we could avoid diagnostic confusion when evaluating head and neck CT images.     

多层螺旋CT在胃淋巴瘤及胃神经内分泌肿瘤中的鉴别诊断价值

目的 比较原发性胃淋巴瘤(primary gastric lymphoma,PGL)和胃神经内分泌肿瘤(gastric neuroendocrine tumor,G-NET)的CT征象,为临床诊断及鉴别诊断提供影像学依据。方法 纳入经病理证实的38例PGL患者和23例G-NET患者,对比两者的临床资料及CT特征,包括病变大小、部位、数目、形态、CT强化特征、黏膜及浆膜完整性,胃周淋巴结及其他器官侵犯情况。结果 G-NET患者多表现为胃多发性隆起样病变,数目多发、散发,集中于胃体部,与临近胃壁界限清,未见明显浆膜受累,肿瘤形态以圆形或半圆形隆起最多见,CT增强扫描呈轻中度不均匀强化。PGL患者均有不同程度的弥漫胃壁增厚,溃疡形态多见,病变部位主要包括胃窦胃体,与邻近胃壁界限不清或相延续。CT增强扫描呈轻度均匀延迟强化。通过对两组患者的CT表现分析,两组患者在年龄( P=0.024)、肿瘤大小(P＜0.001)、数目(P＜0.001)、强化方式(P＜0.001)均有统计学意义。随后对以上特征进行多因素分析,肿瘤大小(OR= 4.757,P= 0.005)、数目(OR = 0.087,P=0.045)可作为G-NET和PGL的独立鉴别因子。结论 多层螺旋CT对于G-NET和PGL的鉴别诊断有一定的临床价值。

Efficacy of limited CT for nonvisualized lower cervical spine in patients with blunt trauma

Records of 100 patients with blunt injury and nonvisualization of C7 and T1 on cross-table lateral and swimmer's views were reviewed to evaluate the usefulness of limited computed tomographic (CT) scans in “clearing”¹ the lower cervical vertebrae of injury. CT was deemed necessary and performed in all of these cases because the lower cervical spine could not be evaluated clinically or with plain radiographs. Ninety-seven of these 100 patients had normal findings on CT and only three patients showed cervical spine fractures. All three had isolated and stable fractures. Two of these patients had “clay-shoveler” fractures at C6 and C7, respectively, and one had a single laminar fracture at C7. All three patients were conservatively treated. This study emphasizes the value of clinical correlation in the evaluation of cervical spine trauma. When deemed necessary in symptomatic patients, CT is useful to exclude skeletal injury in the lower cervical spine thus avoiding delay in the patient's workup and unnecessary hospitalization, and expediting patient discharge. Lack of pain and neurological findings in nonintoxicated, conscious, and alert patients is generally not associated with significant soft tissue or skeletal injury.     

Congenital anomalies of coronary arteries in complex congenital heart disease: Diagnosis and analysis with dual-source CT

BackgroundCongenital heart diseases (CHDs) are sometimes associated with coronary artery anomalies (CAAs). Accurate preoperative evaluation of coronary artery anatomy is essential for successful surgical repair of complex CHD.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of congenital CAAs in patients with complex CHD at dual-source CT.MethodsFour hundred seventeen consecutive patients with complex CHD underwent contrast-enhanced cardiac CT angiography. The results were retrospectively analyzed, including the types and incidences of CAAs in various forms of complex CHD. Each patient was analyzed independently by 2 experienced cardiovascular radiologists. Image quality of coronary arteries was assessed on a 5-point scale with 2 or less being nondiagnostic.ResultsThirty-five of 417 studies were nondiagnostic (8.39%). Sixty-three cases of CAA (15.11%) were detected by anomalous ostia and coronary arteries. CAA was involved in 6 of 108 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (5.56%), 18 of 84 patients with double outlet right ventricle (21.43%), 11 of 97 patients with pulmonary artery atresia (11.34%), 7 of 36 patients with transposition of the great arteries (22.22%), 15 of 41 patients with single ventricle (36.59%), 4 of 12 patients with truncus arteriosus/aortopulmonary window (33.33%), and 2 of 39 patients with interruption of the aortic arch/coarctation of the aorta (5.13%). Twenty of these were accompanied with an anomalous coronary course (31.74%).ConclusionPatients with complex CHD have a higher prevalence of CAAs, which should be considered before surgery. Dual-source CT is an effective technique to visualize and evaluate complex CHD.     

Evaluation of deep vein thrombosis with multidetector row CT after orthopedic arthroplasty: a prospective study for comparison with Doppler sonography

OBJECTIVE: This prospective study evaluated the ability of indirect 16-row multidetector CT venography, in comparison with Doppler sonography, to detect deep vein thrombosis after total hip or knee replacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-two patients had undergone orthopedic replacement surgery on a total of 30 hip joints and 54 knee joints. The CT venography (scan delay time: 180 seconds; slice thickness/increment: 2/1.5 mm) and Doppler sonography were performed 8 to 40 days after surgery. We measured the z-axis length of the beam hardening artifact that degraded the image quality so that the presence of deep vein thrombosis couldn't be evaluated on the axial CT images. The incidence and location of deep vein thrombosis was analyzed. The diagnostic performance of the CT venograms was evaluated and compared with that of Doppler sonography as a standard of reference. RESULTS: The z-axis length (mean +/- standard deviation) of the beam hardening artifact was 4.5 +/- 0.8 cm in the arthroplastic knees and 3.9 +/- 2.9 cm in the arthroplastic hips. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was found in the popliteal or calf veins on Doppler sonography in 30 (48%) of the 62 patients. The CT venography has a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of 90%, 97%, 96%, 91% and 94%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The ability of CT venography to detect DVT was comparable to that of Doppler sonography despite of beam hardening artifact. Therefore, CT venography is feasible to use as an alternative modality for evaluating post-arthroplasty patients.

The clinical efficacy of <Superscript>18</Superscript>F-FDG-PET/CT in benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors

Objective  Most of the current clinical data on the role of 2-[¹⁸F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (¹⁸F-FDG-PET) in musculoskeletal tumors come from patients studied with PET and less frequently with hardware fusion PET/computed tomography (CT). And the number of cases in each report is too small to clarify the exact clinical efficacy of PET or PET/CT. This prompted us to analyze our experience with ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT in a relatively large group of patients with musculoskeletal tumors. Methods   ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT was performed on 91 patients from May 2004 to June 2007. The final diagnosis was obtained from surgical biopsy in 83 patients (91%) and clinical follow-up in 8 (9%). We analyzed the characteristics and amount of ¹⁸F-FDG uptake in soft tissue and bone tumors, and investigated the ability of ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT to differentiate malignant from benign tumors. The cutoff maximum standardized uptake value (SUV_max) was calculated using the receiver-operation characteristic curve method. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were calculated with cutoff SUV_max and the final diagnosis. Unpaired t test was used for the statistical analysis. Results  Final diagnosis revealed 19 benign soft tissue tumors (mean SUV_max 4.7), 27 benign bone tumors (5.1), 25 malignant soft tissue tumors (8.8), and 20 malignant bone tumors (10.8). There was a significant difference in SUV_max between benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors in total (P < 0.002), soft tissue tumors (P < 0.05), and bone tumors (P < 0.02). Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 80%, 65.2%, and 73% in total with cutoff SUV_max 3.8, 80%, 68.4%, and 75% in the soft tissue tumors with cutoff SUV_max 3.8, and 80%, 63%, and 70% in the bone tumors with cutoff SUV_max 3.7. Conclusions   ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT reliably differentiated malignant soft tissue and bone tumors from benign ones, although there were many false-positive and falsenegative lesions. Further studies with all kinds of musculoskeletal tumors in large numbers are needed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT.     

CT muscle scanning in the evaluation of patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)

Summary One hundred patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) were assessed by CT scanning using a standardised technique. The spectrum of CT abnormality occuring in SMA was observed and by overall analysis the patients were divided into 4 groups. While the CT appearances of these groups correlated well with clinical assessment of severity of disease, the disease process was usually much more widespread than clinical examination suggested. CT abnormality was first observed in the leg and gluteal muscles, progressing to the posterior spinal, thigh, shoulder girdle and sternomastoid muscles. Hypertrophy of sartorius and gracilis was observed in a significant number of patients. Fascial planes were preserved in involved muscles in over half of the patients, even in late-stage disease. Asymmetrical muscle involvement was seen with increasing frequency as the disease process increased in extent as evaluated by CT scanning. There was no discernible difference in the CT appearances in those patients who clinically had limb-girdle, facioscapulohumeral or scapuloperoneal distribution of weakness.     

Comparison of unenhanced and contrast-enhanced spiral CT for assessing interval change in patients with colorectal liver metastases

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the interval change in hepatic colorectal metastases as assessed with serial computed tomographic (CT) scans without contrast material enhancement differs from that as assessed using serial, portal dominant phase, contrast-enhanced CT scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Unenhanced and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans were obtained in 28 patients. Three radiologists separately reviewed serial unenhanced and contrast-enhanced studies to assess the interval change in liver metastases. These radiologists recorded total number of lesions, bidimensional measurements of the largest lesions (as many as three), and overall impressions regarding the interval change (none, worse, or better). RESULTS: Among the 84 judgments (28 patients x 3 radiologists), comparisons of unenhanced and contrast-enhanced CT studies were concordant in 60 assessments (71%). Nineteen (23%) showed mild disagreement. Of these, contrast-enhanced CT studies demonstrated disease stability when unenhanced CT studies demonstrated otherwise in 11 judgments, whereas unenhanced CT studies demonstrated stability when contrast-enhanced CT studies demonstrated otherwise in eight assessments. Furthermore, of the five marked disagreements, two resulted from a conclusion of interval improvement on unenhanced CT studies and a conclusion of interval worsening on contrast-enhanced CT studies, whereas three demonstrated the opposite. Neither set of serial CT studies systematically resulted in under- or overestimation of disease progression (McNemar Q test, P < .25). CONCLUSION: The authors found no consistent pattern to demonstrate that serial unenhanced or contrast-enhanced CT studies resulted in over- or underestimation of disease progression.
