Bronchopulmonary lavage in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: chest radiograph observations 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Ten therapeutic bronchopulmonary lavages were performed in four patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Chest radiographs taken during the lavage procedure showed increased density of the washed lung owing to the presence of instilled lavage saline. Radiographs obtained within the first hours after lavage showed a spectrum of change from minimal improvement to marked worsening compared with prelavage examinations. Subsequent radiographs over the next week showed gradual improvement in the treated lung. By 6 weeks there was moderate to marked improvement of chest radiographs compared with baseline in all cases. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To describe the chest radiographic appearance of the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, Minn) for atrial septal defects (ASDs) in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two radiologists independently reviewed frontal and lateral chest radiographs obtained in young patients 24 hours after transcatheter ASD closure with the ASO. The appearance (flat disks or dots) and location of the ASO were recorded. The location was related to that of a thoracic vertebral body on frontal and lateral chest radiographs and to a line drawn between the anterior margin of the right hilum and the posterior margin of the inferior vena cava (hilar-caval line) on lateral radiographs; this line corresponded to the expected position of the interatrial septum. The relationship between ASO appearance and patient age was assessed with logistic regression and cumulative probability plots. RESULTS: Sixty-eight pediatric patients (age range, 1 month to 18 years; mean age, 4.2 years; 24 boys and 44 girls) were included. On frontal radiographs, the ASO center projected between T7 and T9, either to the right of or over the spinous processes of the vertebral body. On lateral radiographs, the ASO projected over (n = 66) or anterior to (n = 2) the hilar-caval line. On frontal radiographs, it appeared as one or two flat disks (n = 61) or as two metallic dots (n = 7). On lateral radiographs, it appeared as two flat disks (n = 54) or as two metallic dots (n = 14). The relationship between increasing patient age and the metallic dot appearance on frontal and lateral radiographs and on the combination of frontal and lateral radiographs was highly significant in each case (P < .001, likelihood ratio chi(2) test), with r(2) values of 0.35, 0.20, and 0.28, respectively. ASDs were successfully occluded with the ASO in all patients except one, in whom trivial shunting was seen at 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: The ASO in pediatric patients has a characteristic radiographic appearance when properly positioned. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine if post-biopsy complication rates were influenced by patient positioning after the procedure. METHODS: A prospective evaluation of post-biopsy complications in 87 patients (55 men, 32 women; mean age 66 yr, range 20-86 yr) undergoing fine-needle aspiration biopsy of lung nodules was performed. Biopsies were performed under computed tomographic guidance in 66 patients, fluoroscopic guidance in 18 and ultrasonographic guidance in 3 patients. Patients were randomly assigned to be placed either in the lateral decubitus "biopsy-side-down" position or in the "biopsy-site-dependent" position (i.e., lying directly on the skin puncture site) after surgery. Chest imaging was performed immediately and at 4 hours after biopsy. RESULTS: Immediately after the procedure, 6 (14%) of the 42 patients in the decubitus biopsy-side-down group and 15 (33%) of the 45 patients in the site-dependent group experienced pneumothoraces (p > 0.05). No patient required tube thoracostomy. Two patients in the decubitus group and 1 in the site-dependent group experienced hemoptysis immediately after biopsy. On the 4-hour chest radiographs, there was no progression in size of the existing pneumothoraces. CONCLUSION: Positioning the patient either decubitus biopsy-side-down or lying directly on the puncture site after lung biopsy does not appear to affect complication rates. 相似文献

Hirschsprung disease: accuracy of the barium enema examination 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

To determine the relative accuracy of the various radiologic signs of Hirschsprung disease (HD), we retrospectively reviewed both radiographs obtained after a barium enema and the medical records of 62 children who had surgery to prove or exclude the diagnosis of HD. The visualization of a rectosigmoid transition zone was highly predictive of HD, but nonvisualization did not rule out HD. A false positive transition zone at the splenic flexure was seen in four neonates who had small left colon syndrome rather than HD. Retention of barium seen on radiographs obtained 24 hours after a barium enema was not a specific sign, but it was the only sign of HD in seven neonates, including two who had total colonic aganglionosis. Anal manipulation prior to the barium enema examination did not affect the diagnostic value of that procedure. We conclude that the single most reliable radiographic sign of HD is the presence of a rectosigmoid transition zone. Statistically, the use of three radiographic features combined (rectosigmoid transition zone, retention of barium, and stool mixed with barium) correlated better with the presence or absence of HD than did any of these features alone. A comparison of 24 and 48 hour postevacuation radiographs may help to differentiate HD from meconium plug syndrome. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To apply proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to assess noninvasively and in spontaneously breathing rats, structural changes following a single intratracheal administration of bleomycin (BLM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were scanned by MRI prior to BLM or vehicle administration and at six hours, 24 hours, week 1, and at weeks 2, 3, 6, and 8 after treatment. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and histological analyses were performed at 24 hours, and at weeks 1 and 8 (histology only). RESULTS: Prominent MRI fluid signals were detected in the lungs of BLM-treated rats one week after challenge. These signals correlated with increased inflammatory parameters in BAL fluid and with marked perivascular and parenchymal infiltration with inflammatory cells in histological slices. At week 2 the MRI signals due to edema resolved, but nevertheless an increase in MRI signal intensity from the lung parenchyma was apparent. In some areas of the right lung the MRI signal intensity in the parenchyma decreased between weeks 2 and 8. These observations were in line with histology demonstrating collagen deposition and atelectasis (hallmarks of fibrosis) at week 1 and a partial recovery of the lung parenchyma at week 8. CONCLUSION: The data demonstrate the ability of proton MRI to detect BLM-induced lung fibrosis as well as the acute inflammatory response caused by the agent. 相似文献

Chest radiographs in 14 children with foreign bodies in the tracheobronchial trees were evaluated retrospectively. The most common causative materials were nuts, and both main bronchi were most commonly involved. The initial chest radiographs that were used for analysis were obtained one hour to 50 days after aspiration or onset of symptoms. Of the nine cases in which chest radiographs were taken within 7 hours after aspiration, six showed hyperlucency with (three cases) or without overinflation (three cases) in the affected lungs, and the other three showed normal chest radiographs. Two patients had indeterminate diagnoses on chest radiographs at inspiration: one patient underwent chest radiographs at expiration and the other underwent fluoroscopy. Air-trapping was demonstrated in both patients. Of another five cases in which chest radiographs were taken 18 hours after aspiration of a foreign body, three cases showed atelectasis or consolidation and the other two showed hyperlucent lung. From these observations, hyperlucent lung indicates an early stage of the disorder while atelectasis or consolidation indicates a fairly advanced stage. In patients with clinically suspected foreign bodies, we advocate that additional examinations be performed to establish a final diagnosis, even when chest radiographs are normal or indeterminate. 相似文献

Transthoracic needle aspiration of pulmonary lesions is an extremely common procedure. Pneumothorax, the most common complication, is potentially life threatening. In an effort to determine the optimum time for obtaining chest radiographs to detect pneumothorax, all cases of pneumothorax that occurred after transthoracic needle aspiration between 1981 and 1984 were reviewed. During this period, 673 transthoracic-needle-aspiration procedures were performed. Pneumothorax occurred in 160 patients (23.8%), and 78 (11.5%) of these required a chest tube or aspiration. Of the total number of pneumothoraces, 142 (89%) were detected immediately, 15 (9%) were first seen after 1 hr, and only 3 (2%) were first seen on the 4-hr radiograph. Of the pneumothoraces requiring intervention, 69 (88%) were detected immediately while the remainder were first picked up after 1 hr. There were no significant pneumothoraces detected after the 1-hr radiograph. Immediate fluoroscopy and a routine chest radiograph 1-hour postprocedure are recommended. For outpatients 1-hr and 4-hr follow-up radiographs should be taken. 相似文献

Experimental aspiration of water soluble contrast agents was performed on rats via transoral endotracheal injection. Iopamidol, iohexol and diatrizoate were the contrast agents tested. One group of rats received normal saline as a control. Adjusted lung weights were measured at 2 and 24 hours post aspiration. Radiographs were taken at 2 and 24 hours post aspiration and scored for abnormal pulmonary air space density. Diatrizoate alone demonstrated an increase in adjusted lung weights. Diatrizoate, iopamidol and iohexol showed abnormal pulmonary air space disease on radiographs at 2 hours but not at 24 hours. Histopathologic examination of rat lungs following aspiration of all three contrasts showed pulmonary vascular congestion and perivascular edema. Iopamidol showed evidence of acute cellular inflammation. Iohexol provoked a pulmonary alveolar macrophage response. 相似文献

Background: Strenuous exercise is associated with tissue damage. This activates the innate immune system and local inflammation. Interaction between innate and adaptive immunity is essential for maintaining health, suggesting that the adaptive immune system may also be altered by exercise. Objectives: To determine exercise induced changes in the adaptive immune system by measuring the immunoglobulin isotype and subclass response to an ultra-marathon. Methods: Venepuncture was performed on 11 experienced volunteers (six men, five women; mean (SD) age 43 (9.8) years) 24 hours before the projected finishing time and immediately after and 3, 24, and 72 hours after an ultra-marathon (90 km). Serum was stored at –80°C. IgM, IgD, IgA, IgG, IgG1, 2, 3, and 4, and total IgE were measured. Results: The following immunoglobulins were significantly (p?0.05) altered after the race: IgD, immediately (–51%) and 24 hours (–41%) after; IgM 24 hours after (–23%); total IgG immediately after (+12%). There were no reports of symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections after the ultra-marathon. Conclusions: In experienced ultra-endurance runners, alterations in immunoglobulin concentrations after a race suggest an enhanced immune response, including isotype switching, interactions with the innate immune system, and a secondary antibody response. These alterations may have a role in the maintenance of subject health after an ultra-marathon. 相似文献

The chest radiographs of 26 newborns treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for intractable respiratory failure were reviewed. The typical radiographic appearance of the lungs in these patients is that of diffuse pulmonary opacification with variable volume loss. Air bronchograms and patchy basilar atelectasis are also common findings. Generally, decreasing ECMO requirements were reflected in improving chest radiographs with radiographic improvement lagging behind clinical improvement. Of 167 chest radiographs available for evaluation, 105 (62.8%) reflected changes in ECMO flow rates. Radiographs in patients with individual diagnoses of hyaline membrane disease, meconium aspiration syndrome and sepsis showed the best correlation with clinical improvement (95 [69%] of 137 radiographs). Those obtained in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn alone showed the poorest correlation (10 [30%] of 30 of radiographs). Neither the absolute degree of radiographic abnormality nor degree of radiographic improvement correlated well with ECMO requirements. Initial radiographs were useful in confirming the position of bypass cannulae and respiratory tubes. Routine daily examinations did not reveal unexpected abnormalities. However, radiographs taken during periods of increased ECMO requirements due to patent ductus arteriosus or volume overload showed worsening lung opacification. 相似文献

Precision percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under guidance of computed tomography is facilitated by injection of a small amount of contrast material during the biopsy procedure. CT scan immediately after biopsy clearly documents the biopsy site. There was no adverse effect of the contrast agents on the quality of staining or preservation of cellular architecture. To the contrary, the aspirates obtained after contrast injection were generally better preserved and better stained than the control specimens. This may be due to a decrease in drying, with the more fluid aspirates obtained after contrast injection. 相似文献

The ability of digital subtraction radiography, a new technique to detect and quantify small bone lesions, is demonstrated. Discrete lesions in the metacarpals of cadaver hands simulated erosive bone loss. Radiographs made before and after removal of bone were digitized and subtracted. Density changes on subtraction images were determined, and bone loss was estimated by an automatic procedure that compared changes in radiographic density with a calibration wedge included in the radiographs. Comparison of estimated bone loss with the weight of bone removed showed reproducible detection and measurement of bone lesions as small as 4.6 mg, a size undetectable using current radiographic methods. Subtraction radiographs of bone chips overlaid on the hand of a volunteer indicated detection limits were similar in vivo. This technique enhanced the radiographic visibility of erosive lesions and thus has the potential to improve the detection of subtle bone changes in clinical settings. 相似文献

Aspergillus infection of the respiratory tract after lung transplantation: chest radiographic and CT findings 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The objective of our study was to assess radiographic and CT findings in lung transplant patients with evidence of Aspergillus colonization or infection of the airways and correlate the findings with clinical, laboratory, bronchoalveolar lavage, biopsy
and autopsy findings. The records of 189 patients who had undergone lung transplantation were retrospectively reviewed for
evidence of Aspergillus colonization or infection of the airways. Aspergillus was demonstrated by culture or microscopy of sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or histologically from lung biopsies
or postmortem studies in 44 patients (23 %). Notes and radiographs were available for analysis in 30 patients. In 12 of the
30 patients (40 %) chest radiographs remained normal. In 11 of 18 patients with abnormal radiographs pulmonary abnormalities
were attributed to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in the absence of other causes for pulmonary abnormalities (8 patients)
or because of histological demonstration of IPA (3 patients). In these 11 patients initial radiographic abnormalities were
focal areas of patchy consolidation (8 patients), ill-defined pulmonary nodules (2 patients) or a combination of both (1 patient).
In some of the lesions cavitation was demonstrated subsequently. At CT a “halo” of decreased density was demonstrated in some
of the nodules and lesion morphology and location were shown more precisely. Demonstration of Aspergillus from the respiratory tract after lung transplantation does not necessarily reflect IPA but may represent colonization of
the airways or semi-invasive aspergillosis. The findings in patients with IPA did not differ from those described in the literature
in other immunocompromised patients, suggesting that surgical disruption of lymphatic drainage and nervous supply or effects
of preservation and transport of the transplant lung do not affect the radiographic appearances.

The objective of this study was to determine the short- and long-term radiographic, physiologic and histologic changes elicited in the lung of rabbits following the aspiration of commonly used radiographic contrast agents. All agents used, including nonionic agents, caused radiographically evident pulmonary edema which cleared by 24 hours. The contrast materials with higher osmolality, viscosity, and iodine content elicited the greatest physiologic and pathologic changes. No differences were found between an ionic and a nonionic agent with similar viscosities and iodine content, despite a lower osmolality in the nonionic agent. No contrast agent is innocuous when introduced into the lung. 相似文献

The authors report their initial experience with Amipaque (metrizamide) in hysterosalpingography. Amipaque was compared to Isopaque Cerebral in 37 patients, using a double-blind design. Excellent radiographs were obtained with both agents. No statistically significant difference in discomfort and pain was found up to 24 hours after the procedure. However, the aftereffects indicate that Amipaque might be less irritating to the pelvic peritoneal cavity. 相似文献

Tibial tunnel area changes following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions with autogenous patellar tendon graft 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We investigated radiographic changes in tibial tunnel area after ACL reconstructions with autogenous patellar tendon grafts on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs over 3 years. Fifty patients followed up for at least 1 year were included in the study. Radiographs were taken on the day of surgery and 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36 months postoperatively. Tibial tunnels on both radiographs were divided into proximal, middle, and distal one-third. The area of each one-third and the greatest diameter of the tibial tunnel on both radiographs was measured using an image-processing software. According to the tunnel area changes, the shape of tibial tunnel was classified into one of four shapes; cylinder, mallet, reverse bottle, and reverse triangle. The correlations between area, diameter and shape of the tunnel, and clinical variables including arthrometer measurement and clinical score were determined. The areas of each one-third of the tibial tunnels on lateral radiographs was always greater than that on anteroposterior radiographs, although the diameters on the two radiographs did not differ significantly. The area of proximal one-third largest and that of distal one-third smallest on both radiographs at any time point. The enlargement and reduction occurred within 3 months and tended to continue for 9 months. Thereafter the tunnel change stabilized on both radiographs. The most common shape of the enlarged tunnels was cylindrical on anteroposterior radiographs reverse triangle on lateral radiographs. No negative effects of enlarged area, diameter, or tunnel shape on clinical results were found in our study. 相似文献

This study examined the changes in knee alignment after an open wedge high tibial osteotomy before and after weight-bearing.
From 2004 to 2006, 36 high tibial osteotomies were performed to treat unicompartmental arthritis with a varus deformity. Thirteen
patients without instability and with an accurate radiographic evaluation were included. The changes in the deviation of the
mechanical axis and femorotibial angle were evaluated retrospectively using whole extremity radiographs immediately after
surgery (supine position) and 4 months after surgery (weight-bearing position). In the nonweight-bearing radiograph obtained
immediately after surgery, the mean deviation of the mechanical axis was 22% laterally and the mean femorotibial angle was
valgus 8.9°. The weight-bearing radiograph at 4 months after surgery showed that the former shifted laterally 34% and the
latter shifted valgus 10.6°. The changes in the mechanical axis and femorotibial angle were significant (P < 0.001). During open wedge high tibial osteotomy, the surgeon should consider the increase in deviation of the mechanical
axis and femorotibial angle after weight-bearing. 相似文献

Sarcoidosis: correlation of pulmonary parenchymal pattern at CT with results of pulmonary function tests 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The appearances of the lungs on radiographs and computed tomographic (CT) scans were correlated with degree of uptake on gallium scans and results of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in 27 patients with sarcoidosis. CT scans were evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. Patients were divided into five categories on the basis of the pattern of abnormality at CT: 1 = normal (n = 4); 2 = segmental air-space disease (n = 4); 3 = spherical (alveolar) masslike opacities (n = 4); 4 = multiple, discrete, small nodules (n = 6); and 5 = distortion of parenchymal structures (fibrotic end-stage sarcoidosis) (n = 9). The percentage of the volume judged to be abnormal (CT grade) was correlated with PFT results for each CT and radiographic category. CT grades were also correlated with gallium scanning results and percentage of lymphocytes recovered from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Patients in CT categories 1 and 2 had normal lung function, those in category 3 had mild functional impairment, and those in categories 4 and 5 showed moderate to severe dysfunction. The overall CT grade correlated well with PFT results expressed as a percentage of the predicted value. In five patients, CT scans showed extensive parenchymal disease not seen on radiographs. CT grades did not correlate with the results of gallium scanning or BAL lymphocytes. The authors conclude that patterns of parenchymal sarcoidosis seen at CT correlate with the PFT results and can be used to indicate respiratory impairment. 相似文献

Objective The objective was to determine whether arm and radiographic beam positional changes affect the acromiohumeral interval (AHI)
in radiographs of healthy shoulders.
Materials and methods Controlling for participant’s height and position as well as radiographic beam height and angle, from 30 right shoulders of
right-handed males without shoulder problems four antero-posterior (AP) radiographic views each were obtained in defined positions.
Three independent, blinded physicians measured the AHI to the nearest millimeter in 120 randomized radiographs. Mean differences
between measurements were calculated, along with a 95% confidence interval.
Results Controlling for observer effect, there was a significant difference between AHI measurements on different views (p < 0.01). All pair-wise differences were statistically significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons (all p values < 0.01).
Conclusions Even in healthy shoulders, small changes in arm position and radiographic beam orientation affect the AHI in radiographs. 相似文献
