Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are pathologically divided into macrocystic adenomas and microcystic adenomas, the former are considered a premalignant lesion and the latter without malignant potential. Five cases of cystic neoplasms are presented and the sonographic and/or computed tomographic features of microcystic and macrocystic adenoma are compared. A specific diagnosis can at times be suggested based on the computed tomography and sonography findings. In the proper clinical setting microcystic adenoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pancreatic mass seen on sonography and computed tomography. Preoperative biopsy with appropriate pathologic staining can be performed and aid in directing appropriate therapy. 相似文献

The appearance of the pancreas in 17 adult patients with cystic fibrosis was evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The pancreas was abnormal in 15 patients. Three patterns were observed: (a) lobulated enlarged pancreas with complete replacement by fatty tissue (n = 9), (b) small atrophic pancreas with partial replacement by fat tissue (n = 5), and (c) diffuse atrophy of the pancreas without fatty replacement (n = 1). Replacement of the pancreas by fat tissue was seen on T1-weighted images with, characteristically, a very high signal intensity. The sensitivity of MR imaging in depicting pancreatic abnormality in cystic fibrosis is 94%, which is comparable to that of computed tomography. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained in 18 patients with pathologically confirmed mycetoma in the body (n = 4) or lower extremity (n = 14) were retrospectively reviewed and compared with computed tomographic (CT) scans in 15 patients and surgical findings in 10. T1-weighted images showed an infiltrating mass (same signal intensity as muscle) involving skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, tendons, and other tissues. On T2-weighted images, the mass and affected structures showed moderately increased signal intensity. Bone marrow involvement was detected in seven patients and was best visualized on T1-weighted images. CT showed moderate enhancement of the infiltrative process in all patients. Bone changes, seen in nine, included coarse trabeculation, periosteal reaction, endosteal proliferation, and patchy destruction. MR imaging and CT were comparable and correlated well with surgery in showing the extent of soft-tissue involvement. Early bone changes (important for therapy planning for pedal mycetoma) were seen only at CT. The study showed that MR imaging is sensitive for assessing the extent of mycetoma in the soft tissues. CT should be the method of choice for staging pedal lesions because it can be used to detect early bone involvement. 相似文献

Duodenal diverticula mimicking cystic neoplasms of the pancreas: CT and MR imaging findings in seven patients 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
OBJECTIVE: Duodenal diverticula are common and are typically asymptomatic. When filled with gas or a combination of fluid and gas, duodenal diverticula are easily recognized on CT or MR imaging. However, a duodenal diverticulum that is entirely filled with fluid may mimic a cystic neoplasm arising from the head of the pancreas. We present seven cases of patients with duodenal diverticula in whom initial findings on CT or MR imaging were suggestive of a cystic neoplasm in the head of the pancreas. In all patients, this structure was ultimately proven to be a duodenal diverticula. CONCLUSION: When filled with only fluid, a duodenal diverticulum may mimic a cystic neoplasm in the head of the pancreas. Recognizing the location in which this entity characteristically arises and identifying small amounts of intradiverticular gas when it is present may aid in establishing the correct diagnosis in patients with duodenal diverticula. 相似文献

Thirty MR examinations of twenty-five patients with extracranial hemorrhagic lesions were reviewed. Comparative CT studies were available in 11 patients. The acute hematomas (less than 3 days old) showed intermediate intensity on the short TR (0.5 sec.) and increased in signal intensity on the long TR (2.0 sec.). The MR appearance of acute hematoma was not specific. Clot (more than 3 days old) demonstrated an intermediate intensity on the short TR and increased markedly in signal intensity on the long TR equaling the signal intensity of fat. Serum (more than 3 days old) was imaged as a high intensity lesion on both short and long TR. It is concluded that MR can be very useful for the differential diagnosis of subacute and chronic hemorrhagic lesions from other lesions. 相似文献

Thirty-two patients with pathologically proved pancreatic carcinomas or cystadenomas were evaluated with MR images obtained with T1-weighted spin echo (short TR/short TE), inversion recovery, and T2-weighted spin-echo (long TR/long TE) pulse sequences. CT was used as the reference standard to determine the ability of MR to delineate normal and abnormal pancreatic anatomy and thereby to exclude or detect pancreatic malignancy. Short TR/short TE spin-echo sequences were significantly better (p less than .05) than inversion recovery or T2-weighted spin-echo sequences in resolution of both normal and abnormal anatomy. Resolution of pancreatic anatomy correlated (r = .9) with the image signal-to-noise ratio. In seven (22%) of 32 cases, MR visualized pancreatic tumors better than CT did because it showed a signal intensity difference between the tumor and normal pancreatic tissue. Overall, the slight superiority of MR over CT for tumor visualization tended to occur in larger tumors and was not statistically significant. On T1-weighted images, 63% (20 of 32) of pancreatic tumors studied had lower signal intensities than normal pancreatic tissue, whereas on T2-weighted sequences (TE = 60, 120, and 180 msec) only 41% (13 of 32) of tumors had increased signal intensities. Currently available MR imaging techniques offer no significant advantages over CT for evaluating the pancreas for neoplasia. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with arterial portography (MRAP) was compared with computed tomography with arterial portography (CTAP) and conventional MR imaging for preoperative evaluation of hepatic masses in eight patients (nine studies). Twenty contiguous, 10-mm-thick-section CTAP images were obtained. MR imaging included T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo and fast multiplanar SPGR (spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition in the steady state) techniques. For MRAP, 0.1 mmol/kg gadopentetate dimeglumine was injected into the superior mesenteric artery. Portographic-phase, 8-mm-thick-section, axial SPGR images were first obtained, followed by “systemic phase” SPGR images. Lesions were seen best on the portographic-phase MRAP images and were less conspicuous on the systemic-phase MRAP, CTAP and conventional MR images. Of 19 visualized lesions, 18 were seen with MRAP; however; five subcentimeter lesions seen with MRAP were not seen with conventional MR imaging or CTAP. Systemic recirculation of iodinated contrast material from the bolus and from previous angiography is a potential limitation of CTAP. For both CTAP and MRAP, optimal results are expected if all images are obtained during a single breath hold, within seconds of the onset of contrast agent administration. 相似文献

Thirteen patients with bladder carcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT to determine the relative accuracy of the modalities in staging bladder carcinoma. Magnetic resonance correctly identified the presence or absence of extravesical spread of carcinoma in 10 of 13 patients (77%). Two patients were understaged and one was overstaged. Computed tomography correctly staged nine of 13 patients (69%), with three patients understaged and one patient overstaged. Neither MR nor CT was able to determine depth of invasion of the bladder wall in the absence of extravesical spread. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) and CT of 50 musculoskeletal neoplasms were compared to investigate the relative values of these modalities in the assessment and staging of musculoskeletal neoplasms and to determine how often they are complementary and when they are redundant. The material included 25 benign and 25 malignant neoplasms, of which 33 were skeletal and 17 were of soft tissue origin. Magnetic resonance was superior to CT with respect to all morphologic criteria except for cortical bone destruction, calcification, ossification, and the assessment of lytic and sclerotic changes in flat bones. Magnetic resonance was found to be complementary to CT in 48% of the cases (30% malignant, 18% benign). Use of both MR and CT was considered redundant in 52% of the cases (20% malignant, 32% benign). Magnetic resonance was found to be the modality of choice for all benign and malignant soft-tissue neoplasms. Both modalities are complementary and necessary for complete evaluation of malignant skeletal tumors. Benign skeletal tumors should be considered for evaluation by CT, MR, or both on an individual case basis. 相似文献

Thirty-two intraocular lesions were studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT). These lesions included retinoblastoma (n = 11), uveal melanoma (n = 6), metastatic choroidal tumor (n = 3), choroidal hemangioma (n = 2), retinochoroiditis (n = 6) and Coats' disease (n = 4). MR imaging was superior to CT in the depiction of intraocular masses and retinal detachment. Gd-DTPA enhanced MR imaging was more useful than contrast enhanced CT in evaluating the contrast enhancement of intraocular tumors. Differential diagnosis of intraocular tumors was difficult with both MR imaging and CT. Intratumoral calcification was noticed on CT in nine cases of retinoblastoma. It was concluded that MR imaging, including contrast enhancement study, is more useful than CT in the evaluation of intraocular lesions, except for calcification, and contrast enhanced CT may be unnecessary in the diagnosis of intraocular lesions. 相似文献

Microcystic adenomas and mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas have often been described interchangeably (cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma), causing confusion with respect to their radiographic characteristics. The former are composed of innumerable tiny cysts and are benign, whereas the latter contain large, unilocular or multilocular cysts, sometimes with shaggy excrescences, and are either frankly or potentially malignant. Microcystic adenomas are angiographically hypervascular and may have central calcification. Sonographically, they have a mixed hypoechoic and echogenic pattern, while CT numbers reflect a mixture of connective tissue and proteinaceous fluid and contrast enhancement is seen. Mucinous cystic neoplasms are hypovascular and may have peripheral calcification; ultrasound and CT reflect their predominantly cystic character and demonstrate excrescences when present. 相似文献

The authors compared five magnetic resonance (MR) imaging pulse sequences for their ability to depict the pancreas in 59 patients, each evaluated with at least two of the five sequences. Focal pancreatic carcinomas were present in eight patients. The five sequences were T1-weighted spin echo (T1-SE), fat-suppressed T1-SE (T1-FS). T1-weighted gradient echo (T1-GRE). T2-weighted SE (T2-SE), and T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2-FSE). Using repeated-measures analysis, three blinded observers independently reviewed 198 separate MR imaging series and rated them on a 5-point scale with regard to image quality and depiction of pancreatic borders and the number of sections containing pancreatic and common bile ducts. The most superior and most inferior sections containing pancreas were recorded for each sequence in each patient. The results were compared with analysis of variance, and interobserver agreement was measured with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). For image quality, all sequences were rated good to excellent, with the T1-SE sequence having the highest rating. For clarity of pancreatic borders, however, the T1-FS sequence was rated significantly higher (P<.006) than the other sequences; the T2-SE sequence was least satisfactory. Common bile and pancreatic ducts were seen in the most sections with the T2-FSE sequence. There were no significant differences regarding identification of the most superior and inferior sections containing pancreas, and the ICC was high (.91–.97) for all sequences. For detecting focal carcinomas, no single pulse sequence was sufficient. 相似文献

Temporal-lobe epilepsy: comparison of CT and MR imaging 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In 50 patients with temporal-lobe epilepsy, CT and MR findings were compared. Axial CT scans were obtained before and after administration of contrast material. Coronal MR imaging was carried out with two spin-echo (SE) sequences with a repetition time of 1600 msec and echo times of 35 or 70 msec (SE 1600/35, SE 1600/70). A focal lesion was detected by CT in 12 cases and by MR in 16 cases. If discrete attenuation or signal abnormalities are also taken into account, CT provided a positive finding in 13 cases and MR imaging in 20 cases. With the exception of a small calcification, all the lesions revealed on the CT scans were also detected on the MR images. Among the examinations assessable for temporal-lobe asymmetry, signs of a unilateral reduction in temporal-lobe size were seen on two of 35 CT scans and on 15 of 38 MR images. In three patients who had temporal-lobe resection, a subsequent comparison was made between CT, MR imaging, and pathology. Histologically proven glial reactions that could not be detected on CT were demonstrated as high-signal-intensity lesions on the SE 1600/70 image. We conclude that MR scanning, with its higher sensitivity, superior image quality, and ability of multiplanar imaging, should be the imaging technique of choice in the diagnosis of temporal-lobe epilepsy. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) studies were performed on 20 healthy volunteers and 41 patients with proved cervical and uterine neoplasms. MR imaging demonstrated normal uterine landmarks in all patients. On T2-weighted images, the normal uterine wall could be differentiated into three distinct layers: a central high-intensity zone, a junctional low-intensity band, and a peripheral medium-intensity area. While most of the normal cervices had only two distinct zones (central high-intensity zone and peripheral low-intensity zone), a small percentage had three layers of signal intensity, similar to the uterine body. Primary cervical and uterine neoplasms could be identified on MR images. In 18 of 22 patients with proved carcinoma, a mass with a signal intensity higher than that of normal cervical lips was seen on T2-weighted images. Endometrial carcinoma was most often identified as expansion of the central high-intensity area; discrete tumor nodules were visible in nine of 15 patients. Mixed müllerian sarcoma appeared as a large pelvic mass with complete obliteration of normal uterine landmarks. MR imaging delineates primary cervical and endometrial carcinoma better than computed tomography does. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) images and computed tomographic (CT) scans of histologically characterized soft-tissue masses of the locomotor system in 35 patients were compared for image contrast, demonstration of bone destruction, and display of extent and anatomic relationships of the masses. Subjective criteria for predicting malignancy were tested. T1 measurements were made in a few cases. Intensities of masses relative to those of fat and muscle in spin-echo T1-weighted and highly T2-weighted images were evaluated for correlation with tissue type. Subjective value of using coronal and sagittal images was assessed. Because of its superior inherent image contrast and its ability to provide direct sagittal and coronal images, MR was better than CT in demonstrating size and extent of most tumors and their relationships to vascular and nonvascular structures. However, bone destruction was more difficult to see with MR. Except for fatty tumors, MR was not helpful in identifying tissue type. Subjective criteria were of limited value in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. Moreover, there is currently no credible evidence that T1 or T2 measurements are helpful in this regard. Study results suggest that MR is superior to CT in evaluating soft-tissue masses of the locomotor system. If an MR examination is performed, CT may not be necessary in certain cases unless bone involvement is suspected. 相似文献

Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas in von Hippel-Lindau disease: spectrum of appearances at CT and MR imaging with histopathologic comparison 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the imaging characteristics of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the pancreas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease to establish diagnostic criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-five patients with VHL disease and 29 surgically confirmed pancreatic NETs were included. Screening computed tomographic (CT) and/or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings were reviewed, and tumor number, diameter, growth rates (doubling time), location, presence of metastatic disease, and attenuation or enhancement properties were determined. RESULTS: Eighteen of 29 (62%) pancreatic NETs were smaller than 3.0 cm in diameter and enhanced homogeneously on contrast material-enhanced CT and MR images. No tumor smaller than 3.0 cm metastasized. Tumors 3.0 cm or larger (11 [38%] of 29) more often enhanced heterogeneously, and two of 11 were associated with hepatic metastases. Smaller (<3.0 cm) tumors displayed longer mean doubling times (mean, 927 vs 351 days) than did larger (> or =3.0 cm) tumors; however, there was considerable overlap. Fifteen (52%) tumors were located in the pancreatic head; eight (28%), in the tail; and six (21%), in the body. Ten (40%) patients with pancreatic NETs had associated pheochromocytomas, and 22 (88%) had no or mild pancreatic cystic disease, which is substantially more than the general population of patients with VHL disease. CONCLUSION: Pancreatic NETs in VHL have characteristic features at CT and MR imaging: Most are small, located in the pancreatic head, and enhance homogeneously. Tumors larger than 3.0 cm are prone to metastasize and enhance heterogeneously. 相似文献

Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging of the brain in patients with meningitis: comparison with CT 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Plain and Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR images of the brain were obtained in 18 consecutive patients with meningitis (eight with tuberculous, five with bacterial, three with viral, and two with fungal infections); the MR images were compared with CT scans. MR images were obtained on a 2.0-T superconducting unit with both T1- and T2-weighted pulse sequences before injection and with a T1-weighted sequence after injection of Gd-DTPA (0.1 mmol/kg) in all patients. In tuberculous meningitis, MR imaging depicted ischemia/infarct, hemorrhagic infarct of basal ganglia, meningeal enhancement at either basal cistern or convexity surface of brain, and associated small granulomas in a few more patients than CT did. In bacterial meningitis, primary foci of extracranial inflammation (i.e., mastoid, paranasal sinuses) and adjacent intracranial lesions including localized dural inflammation, subdural fluid collection, and/or brain parenchymal lesions were demonstrated much better on MR than on CT. Otherwise, MR images generally matched the CT scan. Although the plain MR images, both T1- and T2-weighted, were the most sensitive in delineating ischemia/infarct, hemorrhage, and edema, they were not as specific as Gd-DTPA-enhanced T1-weighted images and postcontrast CT scans in defining the active inflammatory process of the meninges and focal lesions precisely. We conclude that if Gd-DTPA is used, MR imaging appears to be superior to CT in the evaluation of patients with suspected meningitis. Precontrast MR is needed to delineate ischemia/infarct, edema, and subacute hemorrhage. 相似文献
