Purpose

To estimate the accuracy of ultrasonography in detection of tendinous and ligamentous injuries around the ankle in comparison to MRI.

Materials and methods

60 patients referred with unilateral painful ankles are subjected to ankle ultrasonography and the results are compared with ankle MRI between December 2015 and September 2016.

Results

132 pathologies including 62 tendon lesions, 46 ligamentous lesions, 10 bursitis and 14 joint effusion were diagnosed by MRI. Ultrasonography detected 59 tendinous lesions (missed 3 partial tears) with allover accuracy of 96%, 41 ligamentous lesions (missed 1 stretching lesion, 2 partial tears and 1complete tear) with allover accuracy of 94.3%, all bursal lesions detected and 2 cases with joint effusion were missed by ultrasonography.

Conclusion

Ultrasonography is an accurate and sensitive modality in detecting tendinous and ligamentous lesions around the ankle and represent with MRI complementary tool for diagnosis and can be used alone is some conditions  相似文献

Background

Assessment of treatment response in patients with a brain tumor is paramount, as true tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis are similar looking on conventional MRI.

Purpose

To evaluate the role of dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation between recurrent brain tumors and radiation necrosis.

Material and Methods

Twenty patients with a history of operated primary brain tumors and postoperative radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy were enrolled in this prospective study having conventional MRI findings of enhancing lesion suspicious of being recurrence or radiation necrosis. All patients were examined by DSC-perfusion MRI. Definitive diagnosis was reached through either subsequent surgical biopsy or follow up over 6-12 months.

Results

Fifteen patients (75%) were diagnosed as tumor recurrence and 5 patients as radiation necrosis (25%). The relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and relative peak height (rPH) were significantly higher (P?<?0.05) in recurrent tumors than in radiation necrosis lesions. The rCBV and rPH thresholds in differentiating between them were 1.8 and 1.22 respectively with 87%, 93% sensitivity and 100% specificity for each respectively.

Conclusions

DSC-perfusion MRI is a valuable non-invasive tool besides conventional MRI whenever available to differentiate between radiation injury changes and tumor recurrence.  相似文献

Purpose

To compare the role of ultrasonography and MRI in the diagnosis of synovitis involving wrist and hand joints in Rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Materials and methods

Fifty patients with rheumatoid arthritis involving the wrist were subjected to hand and wrist ultrasonography Doppler and MRI and the results are compared and correlated during the period from December 2015 to January 2017.

Results

Ultrasound detected synovial hypertrophy (pannus) in 42 wrist joints while MRI detected it in 46. Power Doppler detected increased vascularity within 30 wrist joints (60%), MRI detected synovial enhancement within 38 (76%). Power Doppler detected synovial activity (vascularity) in MCP joints of 13 patients and MRI detected synovial activity (enhancement) in MCP joints of 9 patients. Ultrasound detected erosions in 35 wrist and 27 MCP joints and MRI detected erosions in 37 wrist and 25 MCP joints. Ultrasound detected tendinitis in 9 extensor tendons and MRI detected tendinitis in 8 tendons.

Conclusion

We found a significant correlation between power Doppler ultrasonography and MRI in the detection of signs of inflammation and bone destruction in the wrist and hand joints in rheumatoid arthritis, which raise the potential importance of power Doppler study in the assessment and monitoring of disease activity as a reliable non-invasive method.  相似文献

Purpose

To highlight the relationship between coraco-humeral distance and subscapularis tendon tear.

Material and methods

Sixty-two shoulder MRI studies were examined. Twenty-two patients had partial or complete tear of subscapularis tendon and forty shoulder as a control group. Axial and oblique sagittal MR images were examined to measure the coraco-humeral distance followed by statistical analysis to correlate the distance with tendon tear.

Results

A cut-off value of 8.25?mm for the coraco-humeral distance gave a sensitivity of 77.5% and specificity of 72.7% for subscapularis tendon tear.

Conclusion

There is a well-known relationship between the coraco-humeral distance and the subscapularis tendon tear and its meticulous assessment in subjects with pain in the anterior shoulder region increases the diagnosis of subcoracoid impingement.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate the diagnostic power of MRI criteria in, the detection of the placental topography and depth of invasion in, morbidly adherent placenta.

Patients and methods

This study included forty pregnant patients, referred to MRI unit with suspected placental invasion by ultrasound. MRI, was done using fast sequences (B-FFE and SSH TSE). Placental topography, architecture and depth of invasion were analysed. MRI criteria suggestive, of invasion were evaluated (loss of retroplacental zone, thick dark, intraplacental bands and disorganized vascularity). The gold standard was, the surgical findings. This study determined the most sensitive, specific, and accurate MRI criteria as well as the degree of agreement with, operative findings.

Results

MRI detected placental invasion in 16 cases out of 40. Operative, findings confirmed 12 of them. MRI achieved100% sensitivity, 85.7%, specificity and 90% accuracy. The MRI criterion of highest, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was loss of retroplacental zone, (100%, 92.8% and 95% respectively). Good agreement between MRI and the, operative data was encountered (kappa value 0.78).

Conclusion

MRI criteria are accurate markers for the detection and, staging of placental adhesion, which guide the obstetrician to achieve, the optimum surgical management.  相似文献

The wrist joint is a complex joint containing several intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments that contribute to carpal stability. There is increased incidence of ligamentous/capsular injury following trauma.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the value of high resolution MDCT arthrography in detection of various ligamentous and capsular injuries of the wrist in post-traumatic writ pain.

Patients and methods

From August 2016 to February 2017 Seventeen patients with posttraumatic wrist pain underwent MDCT arthrography primarily through radiocarpal injection and using high resolution study, all patients have negative MRI study of the wrist.

Results

59% of cases had ligamentous/capsular tear. The most frequent was the capsular tears. Incomplete intrinsic ligament tears were observed, the dorsal scaphotrapezio-trapezoid ligament was the commonest to be affected. Class IA traumatic TFC tear was found in 12%. There was significant high positive correlation between the VAS score for wrist pain and the presence of ligamentous/capsular tear in absence of bone fracture.

Conclusion

MDCT arthrography of the wrist is an excellent imaging method that can detect MRI occult ligamentous tear in unexplained post traumatic pain.  相似文献

Aim of the work

The aim of this study was to assess the rule of delayed T1 post contrast sequence in detection of active lesions in multiple sclerosis patients by comparing the early and delayed T1 post contrast images.

Materials

This was a prospective study and included 30 known multiple sclerosis patients with clinically suspected activity referred form neurology department to radiology department for MRI examination.

Methods

All patients were subjected to the followings: –?Conventional routine MRI of the brain using 1.5?T machine. –?T1 delayed post contrast sequence (about 10?min after contrast injection).

Results

The included MS cases showed 162 lesions of variable distribution as 113 lesions were supratentorial while 49 lesions were infratentorial. Among 162 lesions in the current cases 58 lesions showed post contrast enhancement while the remaining 104 lesions were non enhancing. From the total of enhancing lesions (58), 16 lesions showed early enhancement while 42 lesions showed delayed enhancement.

Conclusion

Delayed T1 post contrast is an important sequence for detection of active MS plaques as it increases the sensitivity of MRI.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate the role of MRI of the brain in women with postpartum convulsions and correlate them with clinical data.

Patients and Methods

In a prospective study, a total of 96 patients with postpartum convulsions were delivered between January 2012 and March 2016. All patients were referred from Ob-Gyn department to radiology department for MRI evaluation of the brain. They were included after meeting the inclusion criteria which depends on the clinical data. MRI findings were collected and classified according to final diagnosis.

Results

MRI examination of the brain was positive in 56 patients (56.2%) out of 96 patients who presented with postpartum convulsions. Dural sinus thrombosis was the commonest finding; it was detected in 19 patients. Posterior reversible encephalopathy was encountered in 18 patients. Intra cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage were encountered in 10 and 6 patients respectively. Only one patient had pituitary apoplexy, one had carotid aneurysm and one had glioma. The remaining 40 patients had negative MRI.

Conclusion

Post partum convulsion is a serious condition and may be caused by delayed eclampsia or other pathological condition. MRI can help solving this problem if clinical data was unreliable.  相似文献

Objective

Evaluate adding MRI to ultrasound in imaging of placenta previa with suspected placenta accreta.

Patients and methods

evaluation of 23 pregnant females presenting with placenta previa was done. The age ranged from 20 to 39?years (mean?=?30.9). All of the patients were subjected to ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis at gestational age of 25–37?weeks prior to elective delivery.

Results

11 out of 23 patients were proved placenta accreta based on surgical and pathological reports. US suggested diagnosis of placenta previa/accreta in 8 patients and placenta previa without accreta in 15 cases. 7/8 was true positive (87.5%) & one was false positive (12.5%) with sensitivity 63.64%, accuracy 78.26%, and specificity 91.67%. MRI has suggested diagnosis of placenta previa/accreta in 8/23 & placenta previa with no accreta in 15/23 patients. MRI was found to give true positive results in 8/8 patients proved to be accreta. MRI gave true negative in 12 patients (80%) & false negative in 3 (20%) with sensitivity 72.73%, accuracy 86.96%, and specificity 100%.

Conclusion

Combining MRI and ultra sound provide more diagnostic information and may reduce unnecessary interventions with favorable outcome.  相似文献

Objectives

To create a systematic approach using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings to facilitate identifying the etiology of hearing loss, evaluating the anatomy for surgery, and predicting complications.

Methods

Twenty nine pediatric patients with congenital or acquired sensory-neural hearing loss (SNHL) requiring cochlear implant (CI) were included. They underwent combined CT, 3D DRIVE MRI axial plane and axial T2WIs for the whole brain. The inner ear, cochlear nerve development, temporal bone anatomy, operative window, normal variants and causes of central hearing loss were assessed.

Results

CT showed that 100% of the patients are suitable for CI while MRI showed that 96.5% of studied patients are suitable. The examined ears were categorized into 4 groups according the candidacy for operation; 86.2% were suitable for CI, 5.1% were suitable for CI but with expected poor response, 1.7% of examined ears were suitable for CI with modification of surgical procedure and 6.8% were not suitable for CI.

Conclusion

In Suez Canal area, the combined CT/MRI approach categorized the majority of patients with SNHL (96.6%) as good candidates for CI.  相似文献

Objectives

Evaluating the value of MRI for assessing congenital anomalies of the inner ear in children with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) before cochlear implantation.

Patients and methods

This study included 56 children, suffering from severe to profound bilateral congenital SNHL. All included patients were potential candidates for cochlear implants. All patients were evaluated by MRI of the temporal bone.

Results

This study detected abnormalities in 27 (24.11%) ears out of 112 ears. We detected dilated vestibular aqueduct in 12/27 (44.44%) of abnormal ears, incomplete partition type-II in 8/27 (29.63%) of abnormal ears, cochlear hypoplasia in 8/27 (29.63%) of abnormal ears, semicircular canals hypoplasia in 2/27 (7.41%) of abnormal ears, Michel deformity in 2/27 (7.41%) of abnormal ears, common cavity deformity in 2/27 (7.41%) of abnormal ears and cochlear aplasia in 1/27 (3.7%) of abnormal ears.

Conclusion

MRI is a valuable tool in the evaluation of inner ear abnormalities in children with congenital SNHL. It allows for the detection of aplasia of the cochlea or the cochlear nerve which represent absolute contraindications to a cochlear implant surgery.  相似文献
