Objectives
To assess the role of DW-MRI and ADC values in distinguishing benign from malignant endometrial disorders.Patients and methods
Pelvic ultrasound, conventional MRI, DW-MRI and histopathologic examinations were done for 42 female patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Mean ADC values of endometrial lesions were calculated and compared.Results
Endometrial malignancies showed significant low ADC values (0.82 + 1.09 × 10?3 mm2/s) compared to benign lesions (1.44 + 0.15 × 10?3 mm2/s) (p: 0.000). Using 1.19 × 10?3 mm2/s as cut-off value for distinguishing malignant from benign lesions achieved 88.9% sensitivity and 100% specificity.Conclusion
DW-MRI is useful in distinguishing malignant from benign endometrial lesions and tumor staging as well. 相似文献3.

Objective
Our aim was to present a single-center experience in the management of gallbladder perforation (GBP).Patients and methods
Adult patients who had GBP were managed surgically and percutaneously. Patients who were high risk surgical candidates or who refused surgery were managed by image guided percutaneous drainage.Results
Thirty-seven patients (21 males, 16 females) with an average age of 64 ± 14 years had GBP. The number of patients with GBP type I, II, and III were 13, 21, and 3, respectively. All GBP types I and III patients were treated surgically. Eleven of GBP type II patients were treated surgically, and 10 were treated by percutaneous catheter drainage. The overall mortality rate was 27% (10/37). No procedure-related mortality rate among those patients who were treated percutaneously; however, 30 days post procedure, the mortality rate was 30%. All of these deaths were related to the patients’ comorbidities; none of them was due to septicemia but conversely in surgically treated patients, 5 died due to septicemia (3 in GBP type I and 2 in GBP type II) in the postoperative period and one patient died because of severe internal hemorrhage complicating acute pancreatitis and one patient died few months later because of myocardial infarction.Conclusion
Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for all types of GBP. Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective option for treating patients with localized disease with favorable outcome. 相似文献4.

Purpose
To evaluate the role of non-contrast multidetector CT (MDCT) reliability in localizing CSF leaks and skull base defects in correlation to operative findings.Materials and methods
Twenty patients clinically diagnosed to have CSF rhinorrhea; 8 spontaneous and 12 post-traumatic patients were evaluated using 64-rows MDCT with slice section 0.6 mm. CT is considered accurate if correctly determine the site and size of bony defect as matched with operative findings.Results
MDCT accurately detected the site of presumed CSF leak in 19 out of 20 cases with sensitivity 95%. Cribriform plate defect is the most common site of defect in 40% of cases with 75% of cases categorized as Keros type II. The consensus image with fair agreement (K = 0.38) shows that coronal reformat has the highest diagnostic performance in 75% of cases while the least diagnostic value is encountered with the axial plane in 15% of cases (p = 0.095). There is almost a perfect agreement (K = 0.810) between the MDCT measurements and operative size of bony defect with minimal difference in 10% of patients (P < 0.001).Conclusion
Non-contrast MDCT is an accurate reliable non-invasive imaging modality for preoperative evaluation of CSF rhinorrhea. 相似文献5.

Chronic plantar fasciitis (PF) is, by far, considered one of the commonest causes of foot complaints; constituting up to 15% of the foot symptoms that needs medical care in adult and active subjects.
Purpose
Is to confirm the clinical diagnosis of plantar fasciitis by ultrasound and to depict the effect of ultrasound guided injection of PRP in such cases.Methods
The study was conducted on 44 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis not responding to conservative treatment, they were diagnosed and were treated by ultrasound guided PRP injection then followed-up after 4 months by both clinical and ultrasound examinations.Results
By ultrasound mild improvement in plantar fascia thickness from 6.04 mm (mean of pre injection) to 4.93 mm (mean of 4 months post last injection). By VAS, significant improvement from 8.14 (mean of pre injection) to 2.59 (mean of 4 months post injection). By Roles and Maudsley score, significant improvement from 81.8% of patients who were acceptable and 18.2% were poor (pre injection) to 59.1% became excellent, 31.8% good, 4.5% acceptable and 4.5%poor (4 months post injection).Conclusion
Ultrasound is a confirmatory diagnostic tool of PF and PRP ultrasound guided injection is recommended after failure of conservative treatment. 相似文献6.

Introduction
Hepatic fibrosis is the underlying pathological condition in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Shear wave elastography (SWE) with elastography point quantification (ElastPQ) feature is a recently developed method for measuring tissue elasticity.Aim of this study
To evaluate the diagnostic value of SWE with ElastPQ feature for the quantitative assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HCV infection.Patients and methods
This prospective study included 60 patients with chronic HCV infection and 50 healthy controls. All participants underwent imaging with ElastPQ technique for evaluation of the liver stiffness (LS). All patients underwent ultrasound guided liver biopsy. The METAVIR scores of fibrosis were illustrated.Results
The study participants included 50 controls (mean LS 3.12 ± 0.40 kPa), 5 patients with F0 score (mean LS 3.77 ± 1.44 kPa); 10 patients with F1 score (mean LS 7.50 ± 0.68 kPa), 23 patients with F2 score (mean LS 8.45 ± 0.62 kPa), 17 patients with F3 score (mean LS 9.64 ± 1.20 kPa) and 5 patients with F4 score (mean LS 12.61 ± 1.41 kPa). There was a highly significant correlation between the METAVIR scores of liver fibrosis and LS measurements assessed by ElastPQ SWE (p > 0.0001).Conclusion
The ElastPQ SWE technique appears as a reliable non-invasive tool that can provide an optimal way to monitor liver tissue stiffness in patients with chronic HCV infection with high accuracy (97.6%) in recognition of the earlier fibrosis stage (F2). 相似文献7.

Background
Diffusion-weighted imaging is a fundamental tool integrated in MR protocols useful in differentiating benign from malignant mediastinal masses, assessing mediastinal lymphadenopathy and investigating central bronchogenic carcinoma. This method is an excellent alternative to CT or PET/CT in the investigation of mediastinal masses. Current applications of diffusion MRI in malignancies include monitoring the treatment response and detecting recurrent cancer.Aim of the work
This study aims to assess the value of using MRI diffusion in differentiating benign and malignant mediastinal masses, differentiating central masses from post obstructive collapse and differentiating lymphoma versus sarcoidosis.Patients and methods
This study included 30 patients; 16 males and 14 females in the period from June 2013 to July 2014. The mean age was 49.3 ± 16.85 (range: 22–82 years).Cases were referred for MRI assessment and were approved by the ethical committee in our department.The complaints varied between dyspnea, chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, fatigue and loss of weight. A superconducting 1.5 T MRI machine with a four-channel body phased-array coil was used for the examination. Biopsy and histopathological assessment was done after that.Results
MRI examination with diffusion imaging was able to differentiate between benign and malignant mediastinal and hilar lesion confirmed by the biopsy and histopathology.Conclusion
MRI with diffusion weighted images can detect and stage lung cancer, differentiate benign from malignant mediastinal masses and differentiate lymphoma from sarcoidosis in mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathy. 相似文献9.

Aim and objectives
To evaluate the role of dual energy computed tomography in renal stones.Methodology
40 patients (18 male and 22 female) with renal stones were included, their age ranging from 24 to 65 years (mean age 33 years), all patients were scanned first with a standard low-dose renal stone CT, then Dual energy CT examinations were performed by using a single-source dual energy with fast switching between two kilovoltage setting using 80 kV and 140 kV focusing on the region of the stone.Results
Dual energy CT provide reliable distinction between uric acid, Ca oxalate and Cystine stones, it predicted chemical composition of the stones as 22 stones composed of calcium oxalate, 10 stones composed of cystine and 8 stones composed of uric acid. DECT failed to distinguish Ca oxalate from Ca phosphate in 4 stones also failed to identify the mixed composition stones in 3 stones comparing with result of crystallography after passage or extraction of the stone which misdiagnosed as ca oxalate stones.Conclusion
Dual-energy CT has been shown to be effective for characterizing chemical composition of the urinary stones and it will be replace helical non contrast CT as the standard imaging modality. 相似文献10.

Purpose
Evaluation of the role of real-time elastography in differentiating between benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes (LNs), comparison with B-mode and Doppler Ultrasonography.Patients and methods
This prospective study included 30 patients, with cervical lymphadenopathy, their age ranged from (18–79 years). The total number of the examined lymph nodes (LNs) was 75 LNs. These (LNs) subjected to B-mode US followed by Doppler evaluation, then elastographic evaluation including strain ratio which was calculated for each lesion, and compared with the histological results after fine needle aspiration cytology.Results
We evaluate the size, shape, echogenicity, and hilum on the B-mode images. The presence of the hilum showed the highest accuracy & sensitivity. Doppler Ultrasonography evaluation of nodal vascular pattern was of high sensitivity & specificity. The calculated sensitivity of elastographic pattern and scoring was 86%, specificity was 100%, PPV and NPV were 100% and 78.1% respectively, and the total accuracy was 90%. The mean elastographic strain ratio for malignant LNs (3.4 ± 1.2) was significantly greater than that for benign LNs (mean, 1.2 ± 0.3).Conclusion
Elastography is a promising improvement for differentiation between benign and malignant cervical lymphadenopathy. Sensitivity and specificity of elastography increased especially if combined with gray scale US and Doppler US. 相似文献11.

Purpose
To demonstrate role of PET-CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) in screening for local and distant metastatic deposits from primary renal cell carcinoma and enhancing its advantages over other imaging modalities.Materials and methods
Twenty patients were evaluated as post nephrectomy screening for renal malignancy. Positive cases were interpreted whenever a focal area of FDG uptake more than the surrounding tissue whether in or outside abdominal cavity. Final diagnosis after correlation with other conventional radiological modalities as CT, MRI with the gold standard was histopathological diagnosis.Results
In current study, there were different sites of distant metastasis of renal cell carcinoma as follow: lung was the commonest (8 patients = 40%), followed with bones (7 patients = 35%), lymph nodes (6 patients = 30%), liver (4 patients = 20%), suprarenal gland (4 patients = 20%) and last were peritoneal deposits (2 patients = 10%).Conclusion
PET-CT had limitations in evaluating RCC metastasis due to its inability for adequate characterization of small metastatic lesions, however positive PET-CT results as a good predictive for evaluating metastatic deposits. PET-CT acts mainly as a complementary anatomy-based imaging modality and hence it may decrease or exclude the need for biopsy in some situations. 相似文献12.

Objective
The aim of this study was to explore the predictive value of CT enterography-based simple measurement tools for Crohn's disease activity.Patients and methods
During one and half year duration 54 patients diagnosed with CD were retrospectively evaluated. All patients underwent CT enterography examinations following a preset protocol prior to endoscopic biopsy or surgery. The images obtained were reconstructed using dedicated software and workstations. The length of affected segments was calculated (L) and distance from ileocecal junction till first affected segment was measured (D). Results of CTE examinations were compared with histopathology.Results
Out of 54 cases, 38 cases had single segment involvement (70.4%) and 16 cases had multiple affected segments (29.6%). The histological inflammatory activity score scored 1 in 10 cases (18.5%), 2 in 25 cases (46.3%) and 3 in 19 cases (35.2%). L varied from 1.4 cm to 20.6 cm while D varied from 0 to 6.7 cm. Spearman rank order correlation coefficient showed a strong uphill linear relationship of L (RHO = 0.663) and weak correlation of D (RHO = 0.222) with the histological inflammatory activity score.Conclusion
CTE provides accurate data regarding length of affected ileal segments that positively correlated with histopathological score of disease activity. 相似文献14.

Purpose
This retrospective study was constructed to assess the beneficial effects of preoperative transarterial particulate embolization of juvenile angiofibroma (JA) with intracranial extension in terms of intraoperative blood loss and local tumor recurrence.Patients and Methods
This study included 20 male patients (mean age ± SD: 14.6 ± 7.2 years) with radiologically documented and histologically proved JA. All patients had intracranial extension and underwent surgical resection of the tumor after preoperative transarterial particulate embolization. The amount of blood loss was estimated and follow up scans were assessed for tumor recurrence.Results
The mean amount of intra-operative blood loss was 560 ml and the mean amount of blood transfusion was 944.4 ml. Local residue/recurrence of tumor was seen in 5 patients (5/20); two patients with intracranial residual tumor (2/20), one patient with intracranial recurrence (1/20) and 2 patients (2/20) with extracranial recurrence. The technique of embolization was safe with no procedure related mortality. Minor complications were seen in all patients and major complication only in one patient.Conclusion
Preoperative transarterial particulate embolization of JA with intracranial extension helped to perform surgery with mild amount of blood loss compared to the literature. 相似文献15.

Background
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most commonly encountered psychiatric disorders in daily medical practice. Severity of depression may relate to thalamic neurochemical metabolic changes. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) can give an idea about the mechanisms that possibly underlie MDD and the response to therapy.Aim of the work
To detect the possible neurochemical metabolic changes that may occur in both thalami of patients with MDD by multivoxel 1H-MRS of the brain.Materials and methods
Forty-three drug-naïve patients with MDD and 15 age- and sex-matched normal controls were subjected to brain imaging with multivoxel 1.5 T 1H-MRS for measuring the NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, mI/NAA and mI/Cr ratios in the thalamus bilaterally. The severity of depression was assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS).Results
Patients with MDD showed a significant decrease in the NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios in both thalami compared to normal controls (P < 0.05). Also, the severity of depression was significantly associated with decreased thalamic NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios.Conclusion
The multi-voxel 1H-MRS can provide an insight to the neurochemical metabolic changes occurring in both thalami in patients with MDD. Increased severity of depression is significantly related to these thalamic neurochemical changes. 相似文献16.

Objectives
The objectives of our work were to determine disability and study MRI findings of occupational-related lumbar disc degeneration and also to show the relationship between MRI grading of nerve root compromise with surgical grading.Participants and methods
The study included 103 workers with lumbar disc prolapse. Nerve roots were assessed on MRI and during surgery for the degree of compromise. Oswestry Disability Index and Visual Analogue Scale were used for assessment of disability and pain intensity pre- and post-operative respectively.Results
The majority of workers was less than 40 years and suffered from moderate to severe disability. 73.8% had grade IV disc degeneration mostly at the level of L4/L5. Nerve root compromise was found in 86.4% of workers. 48% of nerve roots were deviated and 32% were compressed, with significant correlation between MR grading of nerve root compromise and surgical grading (r = 0.89, P < 0.0001).Conclusion
Disability of occupational-related lumbar disc degeneration is a grave health problem between construction workers. MR imaging is a reliable tool for grading nerve root compromise in disc degeneration. Nerve root compromise is a significant factor to explain pain than the morphologic extension of disc material outside the intervertebral space. 相似文献17.

Purpose
To demonstrate the hemodynamic changes of pulmonary arterial hypertension using cardiac MRI and to determine which parameters are best representative of the pulmonary artery pressure.Patient and methods
We examined 44 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension using cine cardiac imaging and phase-contrast velocity encoding sequence to obtain data regarding ventricular morphology, function and pulmonary artery flow. The resulting parameters were correlated to echocardiography-derived mean pulmonary artery pressure.Results
We found increased right ventricular end diastolic, end systolic volumes and mass with decreased stroke volume and ejection fraction. The left ventricular end diastolic volume and stroke volume decreased and the end systolic volume increased while the ventricular mass index has increased compared to normal populations. The mean pulmonary artery pressure had significant positive correlation with the ventricular mass index (r = 0.61; p = 0.02) and right ventricular mass (r = 0.40; p = 0.02) with significant negative correlation with right ventricular ejection fraction (r = ?0.48; p = 0009).Conclusion
MR-derived ventricular mass index, right ventricular mass, and right ventricular ejection fraction had the strongest relation with the pulmonary artery pressure, and hence they could be reliable parameters on monitoring patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. 相似文献18.

Purpose
The aim was to evaluate post-operative changes in the Ivy sign on unenhanced fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) following surgical intervention in pediatric Moyamoya disease (MMD) and assess its clinical utility as an indicator of hemodynamic improvement.Patients and methods
Fifteen pediatric patients with MMD were included in this retrospective study. Surgical revascularization had been done in all patients on the cerebral hemisphere with reduced cerebral vascular reserve (CVR); one of them had bilateral surgery (n = 16). FLAIR examinations were reviewed in each patient, pre and post-operative. We compared the pre and post-operative total Ivy score (TIS) for each of the 16 hemispheres and correlated them with the clinical status.Results
FLAIR images depicted the Ivy sign pre-operatively in all 16 hemispheres and a strong positive correlation between the TIS and the grade of clinical hemispheric symptom (p < 0.00001). Following surgery, reduction of the TIS was seen in 13 (81.25%) out of the 16 hemispheres while the TIS remained unchanged in 3 (18.75%) hemispheres. All patients with reduced Ivy signs post-operatively showed improvement of pre-operative clinical symptoms with moderate positive correlation (p = 0.01).Conclusion
A change in the postoperative Ivy sign can be an indicator of effective cerebral reperfusion in MMD. 相似文献20.
