Objective To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imagingderived left ventricular septal-to-free wall curvature ratio by CAD drawing software for prediction of the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).Methods Twenty patients with IPAH confirmed by right-side heart catheterization (RHC) underwent CMR imaging.Two doctors measured interventricular septal curvature (CIVS) and left ventricular free wall curvature (CFW) at end systole by using a third-party CAD drawing software and derived the curvature ratio (CIVS/CFW).Pressure rise of IVS (dPIVS) and pressure rise of FW (dPFW) derived from RHC and systemic systolic blood pressure was used to derive the dP ratio (dPIVS/dPFW).Interobserver and intraobserver curvature ratio measurements agreement was assessed by using Bland-Altman analyses.Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between curvature ratio and dP ratio.A regression equation was derived.By using this equation,the RVSP was computed in every patient,and the agreement between CMR-and RHC-derived RVSPs was assessed by using Bland-Altman analysis.Results A direct linear correlation between curvature ratio and dP ratio was observed (r =0.93).Bland-Altman analysis revealed moderate agreement between CMR-and RHC-derived RVSPs (mean difference =7.8 ± 12.1 mm Hg).Conclusion CMR-derived curvature ratio by CAD drawing software was a simple,fast,accurate and reproducible index for estimation of RVSP in patients with IPAH.
变异性脑胶质瘤是中枢神经系统最常见的、预后较差的原发性恶性肿瘤,占颅内肿瘤的50%~60%,即使给予传统的手术联合放、化疗的综合治疗,低级别胶质瘤病人的平均存活时间仅为3~5年,而高级别胶质瘤为1~2年,其治疗一直是神经外科领域的研究热点。由于胶质瘤具有浸润性生长的特性,手术难以彻底切除,临床传统的治疗策略是在手术切除大部分瘤体的基础上,采用放疗、化疗等多种手段抑制、杀灭瘤床周围的肿瘤细胞,以延长患者的生存期。近年来发展起来的靶向治疗更是为胶质瘤的治疗提供了一种全新的有效途径。对脑胶质瘤手术后各种后续治疗的疗效观察一直是临床研究的重点内容,这对临床医生正确选择下一步治疗方案至关重要。

Objective To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cine magnetic resonance imaging (eine-MRI) in evaluating the open status of orifieium fistulae after the third ventriculostomy in patients with noncommunicating hydrocephalus. Method Apply the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cine magnetic resonance imaging (cine-MRI) method to determine stoma rates and flows in 128 patients with noncommunicating hydrocephalus after endoscopic third ventriculostomy, what's more, we also made it the follow-up method. Second look exploration might be necessary for patients whose clinical symptoms did not ease well or symptoms of intracranial hypertension recurred in the follow-up period, accuracy of cine-MRI in determining the open status of orificium fistulae could be analyzed combined with the intraoperative exploration and results of cine-MRI examination. Result Clinical symptoms in 3 cases did not ease welt, and cine-MRI demonstrated that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through stoma was good and the stoma was open during the second look exploration; intracranial hypertension recurred in 16 cases, and cine-MRI demonstrated that rates and flows of cerebrospinal fluid in stomas reduced greatly, the stomas was blocked or obviously narrowed, which would regress after the second ostomy. Coincidence rate of cine-MRI and exploration was 100%. Conclusion Cine-MRI can actually reflect the open status of orificium fistulae after the third ventriculostomy, and further, it will become the gold standard for evaluation of the open status for orificium fistulae after ostomy and an important follow-up method.
Objective To describe the MRI findings of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and discuss the value of MRI in the diagnostic of SCA. Materials and Methods Two sufferers and four other asymptomatic members of a same family with SCA were performed brain routine MRI and single-voxel 1H-MR spectroscopy (MRS) with a stimulated echo acquisitionmode sequence (STEAM) in the cerebellar vermis. The two sufferers were performed diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The shape and signal intensity of the central nervous system were observed. The integrality of the transverse pontine fibers were showed on the DTI colour FA images and the NAA/Cr rates and Cho/Cr rates of the cerebellar vermis were calculated. Results The cerebellar vermis and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres of the two sufferers from SCA were atrophic, more obviously in the vermis. Midline high signal intensity was demonstrated in the pontine base on two consecutive T2WI in the two sufferers from SCA. The transverse pontine fibers showed incompletely on DTI colour FA image at the level of superior cerebellar peduncle in the two sufferers from SCA. The NAA/Cr rates in the cerebellar vermis were mildly decreased in the two sufferers from SCA, compared with the reference value, and were on the low side of the reference value in one family member with mild physical sign and one asymptomatic family member. In other two asymptomatic family members, the NAA/Cr rates in the cerebellar vermis were close to the average of the reference value. The Cho/Cr rates in the cerebellar vermis were in the range of the reference value in all the family members. Conclusion Various of MRI techniques might reflect the main pathologic findings of SCA, and can provide clues as to the diagnosis of SCA.
Objective To study the valve of time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics(TRICKS)in the diagnosis of extremity musculoskeletal neoplasms.Methods First,22 cases of extremity musculoskeletal neoplasms were scanned with conventional sequences.Second,contrast medium was injected and TRICKS was performed,then enhanced images were obtained in axial plane,sagittal plane and coronal plane.The overall image quality and the demonstration of neoplasms were analyzed,and the qualitative diagnosis was compared with surgical and pathological results.Results TRICKS was successfully performed in all patients.TRICKS demonstrated the arterio-venous structures dynamically.The qualitative diagnosis was consistent with surgical and pathological results.Conclusion The operation of TRICKS is simple,and it can observe arterio-venous structures without interfere enhanced scan.TRICKS should be a conventional sequence in the examination of extremity musculoskeletal diseases.
Objective To study the influence of maple oil consumption on MRI examination by using MRS and R2* measurement. Methods Maple oil was compared with normal bean oil by 1H MRS examination under same condition. Five healthy volunteers took 10 ml maple oil simultaneously one time a day and repeated in 5 consecutive days. MR examinations were performed before the oil taken and 30 minutes after, including axial T2, coronal FIESTA and axial multi-echo GRE for R2* calculation (8 echoes). Water drinking and bean oil drinking were also included on a separate day for comparison. Liver, muscle, intestine's R2* value (in Hz) were measured with identical ROI. Two healthy volunteers who took Maple oil for 2 years were examined by routine MR protocol. Results From 1H MRS data, maple oil had identical chemical compound as bean oil, but higher none saturated lipid concentration. Also the line width of the CH2 peak of maple oil was 44% bigger than normal bean oil, which was possible due to regional field inhomogeneity caused by its ingredient. For the short term oil taken group, the R2* values of liver and muscle did not have statistical difference before and after oil taken, but noticeable mental artifact could be observed in intestinal area and its R2* value increased after oil taken. No statistical differences during the water drink and bean oil drink examination. For the long-term oil taken group, the center frequency of liver was much bigger than other patients or volunteers. Conclusion From R2* value, we can easily tell that short-term consumption of maple oil is in gastrointestinal system. From the long-term study group, it is possible that part of maple oil will be transported and stored in liver system, which causes the shift of center frequency. The effected ingredient and its pathway are under investigation.
