年轻成人Perthes病的临床表现与MRI研究

目的　研究年轻成人Perthes病的临床表现与MRI表现的相关性。方法　对 12例有或无症状年轻成人Perthes病患者作X线和MRI检查 ,测量CE角、ATD、髋臼商、头颈商、关节内侧间隙和髋臼覆盖率等X线指标 ,以及关节积液、外侧关节囊厚度等MRI表现。统计分析其与临床表现的相关性。结果　MRI检查显示外侧关节囊厚度与愈合后遗的症状有相关性 ,关节积液量有明显的差异趋势 ,但因样本量过少 ,统计学分析无差异 ,各项X线测量指标亦未显示明显的相关性。结论　外侧关节囊厚度与年轻成人Perthes病的临床表现有一定相关性。     

Does T2 inversion aid in identifying disc pathologies?

ObjectiveT2 inversion sequence is used in routine radiology practice mainly to heighten contrast resolution within the region to be studied but no evidence exists in current literature to assess it's true efficacy for lumbar disc degeneration. The objective of this study was to analyse T2 inversion and evaluate it's efficacy in assessment of lumbar disc pathology,.Materials and methodsThis retrospective single-centre study included 50 randomly selected patients presenting with back pain and radiculopathy. T2 inversion sequence was obtained in both axial and sagittal planes in addition to routine sequences. All the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures were performed on 3T. One senior Musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologist, 2 general radiologists and a spinal surgeon blinded to final results reviewed images for the various disc pathologies individually analysing conventional and T2 inversion images. Data was analysed using Fischer's test and Chi² test with a p value of <0.05 considered as significant.ResultsFifty randomly selected patients (mean age was 47.3 years(range 35–55 years) with back pain and radicular symptoms were included. The spectrum of disc pathologies included protrusions, annular fissures, discal cysts and calcified discs. Based on the above findings, T2 inversion sequence is not proved to be an alternative imaging sequence to routine MR imaging sequences for the depiction of various disc pathologies.ConclusionT2 inversion sequence does not increase the depiction of various lumbar disc pathologies in comparison with conventional sequences when used by experienced MSK radiologists. It may highlight abnormalities better for relatively inexperienced readers such as general radiologists and spinal surgeons.     

基于统计参数图的脑功能磁共振成像数据处理方法

介绍了基于统计参数图的脑功能磁共振成像数据处理方法。脑功能磁共振成像由于其高的时间、空间分辨率、无创性等特点而得到广泛的应用。使用统计参数图进行脑功能成像的数据处理过程主要分为:原始数据的读取、图像预处理、统计分析和统计推论。图像预处理包括运动伪影的消除、图像标准化、图像空间平滑;统计分析包括广义线性模型的建立;统计推论包括T检验等。重点介绍了各个过程所使用的传统的处理方法和最新的处理方法。     

Stellenwert von Computertomographie und Magnetresonanztomographie bei der Diagnostik von Malignomen der Mundh?hle und des Oropharynx

Problem: There is a lack of clear criteria for the use of MR and CT in the diagnosis of head and neck cancer – some of it is even contradictory. The results of this study should lead to the establishment of more clear criteria. Patients: 165 patients suffering from head and neck tumors were subjected to a total of 463 CT and 197 MRI examinations. Results: The CT and MRI staging corresponded in 67% and 60% of the oropharynx tumors, respectively, with the clinical findings. In the case of oral cavity tumors, the clinical TNM stages were identical with CT and MRI results in 50% and 43% of cases, respectively. In the case of lymphatic node staging, the frequency of error was slightly higher using MRI, at 27%, compared with the CT rate of 22%. In the evaluation of cervical lymphatic nodes, CT proved to be more sensitive attaining 78% compared to the MRI rate of 69%. Conclusion: The results provide clear indications as to the MRI and CT examinations. Primary preoperative screening and post-therapeutic aftercare should be assessed using CT, as should lymphatic node diagnosis in the neck area. In the case of special problems such as, for example, the relevant bone and periostium infiltration, MR should be considered as a supplementary examination at a second stage.
