Objective To compare CT and MRI images of patients with central airway lesions and explore the advantages of MRI enhanced scanning in the diagnosis and evaluation of treatment efficacy for central airway lesions. Method A total of 35 patients with central airway lesions were collected and underwent chest CT plain scan, enhanced, multi plane reconstruction, and MRI plain scan and enhanced scan. By comparing and analyzing the imaging data of two different scanning methods, the diagnostic advantages of MRI enhanced scan for central airway lesions were summarized. Result 1. Magnetic resonance imaging is significantly superior to CT in analyzing the internal components of lesions, especially in analyzing the internal mucus, necrosis, and other components of smaller tumors, which can avoid excessive and ineffective examinations caused by low CT soft tissue resolution to the greatest extent possible; 2. DWI can serve as a scout to identify the location of hidden lesions, which helps to locate the target lesion during bronchoscopy; 3. Clarify the depth and range of infiltration of central airway lesions, more accurately evaluate the relationship with surrounding tissues, accurately evaluate the depth of forceps before surgery, and avoid irreversible injuries such as trachemediastinal fistula and tracheoesophageal fistula; 4. It helps to evaluate the blood supply of the lesion and avoid the risk of tracheal bleeding during bronchoscopy treatment due to misjudgment of blood supply. Conclusion MRI enhanced scanning is superior to CT enhanced scanning in identifying the location, range, composition, and blood supply of central airway lesions. It has clear auxiliary diagnostic significance for preoperative evaluation, diagnosis and treatment plan determination, and treatment efficacy evaluation of lesions.
Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) after adiponectin treatment of tracheal malignancies. Methods: Sixty patients with tracheal malignancies admitted to Emergency General Hospital from February 2017 to February 2021 were assigned to the study group. After physical examination, 60 healthy subjects in the same period served as the control group. All patients were treated with adiponectin. The control group was subjected to serum tumor marker testing before and after treatment, while the study group received multi-slice spiral CT before and after adiponectin treatment. Results: The 60 patients enrolled in the study group comprised 30 cases of squamous carcinoma, 22 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 8 cases of mucosa-associated lymphoma. Multi-slice spiral CT before treatment showed that 35 patients with tracheal malignant tumors had expansive lumen hyperplasia, while 25 patients with bulging tumors had saddle-like hyperplasia with irregular surfaces, uneven margins, and mean thickness of 5.96 ± 0.65 mm in the tracheal and bronchial walls adjacent to the luminal nodule. After treatment, the thickness of the tracheal and bronchial walls adjacent to the luminal nodule decreased to a mean value of 4.65 ± 0.48 mm. Prior to treatment, the mean enhancement value of contrast-enhanced CT was 18.98±1.23 Hu, and mean tumor diameter was 3.68 ± 0.23 cm. However, after treatment, the mean enhancement value increased to 25.98 ± 1.44 Hu, while mean tumor diameter decreased to 2.54 ± 0.20 cm in the study group. Conclusion: Multi-slice spiral CT has promising diagnostic value for patients with tracheal malignancies after adiponectin treatment. Therefore, it can potentially be used in the diagnosis of patients with tracheal malignancies.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between the pathological features and 64-multislice spiral computed tomography (64-MSCT) findings of pulmonary nodules in autopsies from patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), to investigate the optimal imaging method for the distribution of pulmonary nodules, and to provide data for the establishment of CT diagnostic criteria for CWP.METHODSCadaveric lung specimens were collected from 7 CWP patients. All of them were men, aged 42∼77 years (mean, 60.00±13.00 years), and their dust exposure time was 5∼30 years (mean, 15.4±8.01 years). The cadaveric lung specimens were treated by aeration, sectioning, and immobilization and were then examined by coronary 64-MSCT. The primitive images were reconstructed into the maximumintensity projection (MIP) images (slice thickness: 3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm). The sensitivities of imaging methods with different slice thickness were evaluated based on the pathology and anatomy of local pulmonary nodules, and the correlation between pathological results and radiological findings was analyzed.RESULTSThere were significant differences between the stages determined by pathological examination and high-kV chest radiography (before death) (χ(2) = 4.667, P < 0.05; kappa value = 0.167, P < 0.05). A total of 271 nodules were found in all pathological sections, including peribronchovascular nodules (27, 9.9%), centrilobular nodules (67, 24.6%), interlobular nodules (65, 24.3%), nodules within 5 mm from the pleura (45, 16.5%), pleural plaque-like nodules on the lateral chest wall (45, 16.5%), and nodules on the interlobar pleura (22, 8.1%). The likelihood ratio was the highest (0.981) between 5-mm MIP images and pathological results according to the chi-square test.CONCLUSIONThe stage of pulmonary nodules determined by pathological examination is significantly different from that determined by high-kV chest radiography. The 5-mm MIP images of 64-MSCT provide a good reflection of the local pathology and anatomy of pulmonary nodules in CWP patients.
Objective to study three methods of lumbar pedicle placement in different level based on CT tomographic image reconstruction model in order to determine the location of crest of the Lumbar vertebra and provide objective basis.Methods In 30 cases of lumbar CT three-dimensional reconstruction model,the placement of the screw was simulated,using the method of the ∧ shape crest,the method of above the ∧ shape crest and the method of below the ∧ shape crest,the distance between screw entry point and the pedicle axis was measured,and the anatomic relationship between the upper and lower edges,the internal and the external edges was studied.Differences,advantages and disadvantages of three methods at each segment of lumbar were analysed.Results The anatomic relationship between ∧ shape crest and lumbar pedicle was different in the three methods.The distance between ∧ shape crest and the pedicle axis was shortest in the median sagittal plane,but was slightly higher than pedicle axis in the L1,and was slightly lower than the horizontal axis in L5.The Upper ∧ crest was located above the pedicle axis.Only in 2 cases Upper ∧ crest was lower than the pedicle axis in the L5.Conclusion in the lumbar pedicle screw fixation,∧ shape crest method is safe and reliable,applicable to L1-L5.But in L1 the screw in the median sagittal plane is slightly higher than the pedicle axis,and was slightly lower the axis of the pedicle in L5.

Results There was good positive correlation between 64-slice spiral CT, HRCT and pulmonary function test in RV, RV/TLC%, TLC (P0.001) and good negative correlation in FVC, DLCO, FEV1/FVC%, FEV1%, MVV (P0.001). The positive rate of emphysema detected by 64-slice spiral CT, HRCT were higher than with pulmonary function test (P0.005). It demonstrated no significant difference between the 64-slice spiral CT and HRCT in the evaluation of emphysema (χ2=2.78, P0.05). Conclusion There is good positive or negative correlation between 64-slice spiral CT, HRCT and pulmonary function testing in the evaluation of emphysema. The positive rate of emphysema detected by 64-slice spiral CT, HRCT are higher than pulmonary function test. There is no significant difference between the 64-slice spiral CT and HRCT in the evaluation of emphysema.
