Objective To compare and analyze the clinical application of third generation dual source CT prospective ECG gating coronary angiography(CTCA)in patients with high heart rate. Methods 147 patients who had examined with coronary angiography by the third generation dual source force in our hospital were collected during December 2016,the patients were divided into 4 groups,according to the heart rate,group A (n=40):heart rate<70/min,group B(n=42):70≤heart rate<80/min,group C(n=50):80≤heart rate<100/min,group D(n=15):heart rate more than 100/min. All acquired images were processed by the prospective ECG gated technique,and the quality of all segments of coronary artery images were analyzed and compared. Results The evaluation rates of coronary artery segments in the 4 groups were 99.8%,96.7%,98.9%,and 94.8%,respectively. The excellent rate of coronary artery images in the 4 groups were respectively 90.2%,84.2%,83.1%,and 69.3%. Between the 4 groups of coronary artery evaluation rate had difference(χ2=30.48,P<0.05),the difference of image quality also had difference(χ2=50.64,P<0.05). Conclusion The application of the third generation dual source CTCA in patients with high heart rate can obtain stable high quality images,which can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the application of dual source CT (DSCT) in laparoscopic nephron- sparing surgery (LNSS) for patients with T1a renal tumor. Methods Sixty patients with T1a renal tumors underwent DSCT scan before LNSS. Multiplanar reformation,volume- rendered and maximum intensity projection images were created for measuring the anatomic structure of artery and vein, tumor size, location and the spatial relationship between the tumors and surrounding tissue, and the contralateral renal.The images were compared with those observed in LNSS and pathological results. Results There were no differences in the anatomic structure of artery and vein, tumor size and location between DSCT images and those observed in LNSS(P>0.05);and the concordances between DSCT images and pathological results in the invasion depths, spatial relationship between the tumors and the surrounding blood vessel, renal col ecting system were satisfactory (Kappa value=0.949, 0.872 and 0.936, respectively;P<0.05). Conclusion DSCT is an effective preoperative assessment tool in LNSS for T1a renal tumors.
Objective We wanted to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic value of 64-slice dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) coronary angiography in patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib). Materials and Methods The coronary arteries of 22 Afib patients seen on DSCT were classified into 15 segments and the imaging quality (excellent, good, moderate and poor) and significant stenoses (≥ 50%) were evaluated by two radiologists who were blinded to the conventional coronary angiography (CAG) results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for detecting important coronary artery stenosis were calculated. McNemar test was used to determine any significant difference between DSCT and CAG, and Cohen's Kappa statistics were calculated for the intermodality and interobserver agreement. Results The mean heart rate was 89 ± 8.3 bpm (range: 80-118 bpm). A range from 250 msec to 300 msec within the RR interval was the optimal reconstruction interval for the patients with Afib. The respective overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV values were 74%, 97%, 81% and 96% for reader 1 and 72%, 98%, 85% and 96% for reader 2. No significant difference between DSCT and CAG was found for detecting a significant stenosis (reader 1, p = 1.0; reader 2, p = 0.727). Cohen's Kappa statistics demonstrated good intermodality and interobserver agreement. Conclusion 64-slice DSCT coronary angiography provides good image quality in patients with atrial fibrillation without the need for controlling the heart rate. DSCT can be used for ruling out significant stenosis in patients with atrial fibrillation with its high NPV for detecting in important stenosis.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility of gadolinium-enhanced CT coronary angiography in patients with contraindication to iodinated contrast medium. Methods:Thirty patients with contraindication to iodine underwent CT coronary angiography with Gadolinium. Each patient received a dose of 0.3 mmol Gd/kg of body weight at a flow rate of 4~5 ml/s. Total volume of Gadolinium was 25~52 ml. All CT examinations were performed with a dual-source CT scanner,with total scan time ranging from 7 to 10 seconds. Results:Enhancement of trunks and branches of coronary artery could be seen in all thirty patients. The attenuation within trunks was 130.73±26.95 HU (range,55~187 HU). In total,there were 402 segments. Not-evaluative image quality was found in segment 8,segment 10,segment 14 and segment 15. Serum creatinine levels of all cases were normal before and after CT exam. Conclusion:Gadolinium-enhanced CT coronary angiography is technically feasible and is valuable in coronary heart disease patients with contraindications to iodinated contrast material. Renal function should be identified normal before injection of Gadolinium to prevent nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).

Objective:To discuss the value of optimized pulse sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of super-acute and acute intra-cerebral hematoma (ICH) by experimental study with 1.5T MR scanner. Methods:32 rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups,including experiment group (n=24) and control group (n=8).For experiment group,autogenous blood was injected to create ICH.Different stages (3、6、12、24 and 48h after operation) of ICH were imaged with 1.5T MR scanner.T1WI,T2WI,T2*WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) were acquired and analyzed.MRI findings were correlated with histology.Results:Well-defined hypointense lesion was showed on T2*WI in every stage of ICH.The average volume of blood injected was (250±20)μl.Using volumetric measurement software,the average volume of intra-cerebral hematoma measured on T2*WI was (310±19)μl.There was no significant statistic difference between the two (t=0.003,P<0.05).On DWI,hypointensity in central area of the lesion with a hyperintense rim were assessed on different stages of hematoma.There was no characteristic finding of the ill-defined intra-cerebral hematoma on T2WI and T1WI.After 6 hours of the autogenous blood injection,polymorphonuclear leucocytes and small amount of micro-glial cell infiltration around the hematoma were revealed on histology.At 12h,mild erythrocyte lysis could be found in the center of the lesion.There was no intra-cerebral hematoma in the control group on MRI and histology.Conclusion:T2*WI and DWI showed high sensitivity in the diagnosis of super-acute and acute ICH.Super-acute or acute ICH could be diagnosed on MRI using conventional pulse sequences combined with DWI and T2*WI .
