Background: Bone erosion in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is highly specific for the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and may indicate early disease progression. The 3D ultrashort echo time (3D -UTE) technique excels in providing clear contrast between the articular cartilage and the bone cortex interface. Additionally, it is emerging as a promising quantitative tool for detecting early cartilage changes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3D -UTE sequences in identifying bone erosion in the SIJ of patients with axSpA and to clarify the potential of cartilage T2* values as a quantitative biomarker for axSpA. Methods: This prospective study employed convenience and consecutive sampling methods to recruit patients diagnosed with axSpA in Peking University Third Hospital who met the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria and also an equal number of healthy volunteers. After providing informed consent, all participants underwent 3D -UTE sequences and conventional T2* mapping of the SIJs. Two radiologists separately interpreted the bone erosion of each SIJ on 3D -UTE sequences. Erosion detection of SIJs via computed tomography (CT) served as the standard of reference. The T2* values of the cartilage were measured and compared, and the diagnostic efficacy of the T2* value for axSpA diagnosis was evaluated. Results: A total of 32 patients and 32 healthy volunteers were included. The 3D -UTE sequence, as separately assessed by two reviewers in terms of its ability to detect erosions, exhibited a notable level of accuracy. For the two reviewers, the respective diagnostic sensitivities were 94.7% and 92.9%, the specificities were 97.4% and 96.5%, positive predictive values were 96.7% and 95.4%, the negative predictive values were 95.9% and 94.5%, the accuracies were 96.2% and 94.9%, and the areas under the curve (AUCs) were 96.1% and 94.7%. For the detection of erosions, the interreader kappa value was 0.949. The T2* values of the SIJ cartilage were significantly higher in patients with axSpA than in healthy volunteers. The intraobserver intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for T2* measurements ranged between 80.5% and 82.2%. Meanwhile, the interobserver ICCs for UTE -T2* and gradient echo T2* measurements were 81.5% and 80.8%, respectively. The AUCs of the UTE -T2* values for discriminating patients with axSpA from the healthy volunteers of the two readers were 73.3% and 71.6%, respectively. Conclusions: 3D -UTE sequences can be used as a reliable morphological imaging technique for detecting bone erosion in the SIJ. Additionally, UTE -T2* values of the cartilage may offer a quantitative method for identifying patients with axSpA.

Background Identifying axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) activity early and accurately is essential for treating physicians to adjust treatment plans and guide clinical decisions promptly. The current literature is mostly focused on axSpA diagnosis, and there has been thus far, no study that reported the use of a radiomics approach for differentiating axSpA disease activity. In this study, the aim was to develop a radiomics model for differentiating active from non-active axSpA based on fat-suppressed (FS) T2-weighted (T2w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of sacroiliac joints. Methods This retrospective study included 109 patients diagnosed with non-active axSpA ( n = 68) and active axSpA ( n = 41); patients were divided into training and testing cohorts at a ratio of 8:2. Radiomics features were extracted from 3.0 T sacroiliac MRI using two different heterogeneous regions of interest (ROIs, Circle and Facet). Various methods were used to select relevant and robust features, and different classifiers were used to build Circle-based, Facet-based, and a fusion prediction model. Their performance was compared using various statistical parameters. p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Results For both Circle- and Facet-based models, 2284 radiomics features were extracted. The combined fusion ROI model accurately differentiated between active and non-active axSpA, with high accuracy (0.90 vs.0.81), sensitivity (0.90 vs. 0.75), and specificity (0.90 vs. 0.85) in both training and testing cohorts. Conclusion The multi-ROI fusion radiomics model developed in this study differentiated between active and non-active axSpA using sacroiliac FS T2w-MRI. The results suggest MRI-based radiomics of the SIJ can distinguish axSpA activity, which can improve the therapeutic result and patient prognosis. To our knowledge, this is the only study in the literature that used a radiomics approach to determine axSpA activity.

BACKGROUND:Our study aimed to characterize the imaging appearance of spinal fractures in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify situations in which the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary.METHODS:A total of 70 cases of spinal fractures associated with AS were retrospectively enrolled. Two radiologists independently reviewed the preoperative images. The location, type, ligament injury, neurological injury, and epidural hematoma following spinal fractures were assessed.RESULTS:Only one patient had a vertebral compression fracture, and 69 patients had 77 transverse fractures involving three columns. The most frequent injuries in AS patients were type B3 (N=32, 43.8%) spine fractures, followed by type C (N= 20, 27.4%) spine fractures. There were significant differences in fracture types of the different spine regions (H=14.1, P<0.0001). Most type C spine fractures were located in the lower cervical spine, while most of the type B2 spine fractures were located in the thoracic spine. Transverse fractures were classified as shear or stress type fractures. In total, there were 62 shear fractures and 15 stress fractures. All of the transverse fractures were detected by computed tomography (CT). The accuracy of CT in the diagnosis of the exact anatomic involvement of transverse fractures was significantly higher than that of MRI (χ2=8.36, P=0.014). The anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) was the most frequently torn ligament. Tears of ossified ligaments were best visualized by sagittal reformatted CT. Lower cervical fractures were more likely to be associated with neurological injury compared with fractures to other regions of the spine (χ2=7.24, P=0.025). There were six epidural hematoma cases, which were only detected by MRI, were found to have fractures of the lower cervical spine.CONCLUSIONS:We recommend a whole-spine CT examination with three-dimensional reconstruction for detecting a suspected fracture in AS patients. In cases with neurological injury, MRI examinations are always mandatory. AS patients with lower cervical spine fractures require further investigation by MRI. Patients with non-lower cervical spine fractures without any neurological deficits do not need to undergo an immediate MRI.

OBJECTIVE:To validate the value of dual energy CT (DECT) in the differentiation of mediastinal metastatic lymph nodes from non-metastatic lymph nodes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS:In the study, 57 surgically confirmed NSCLC patients who underwent enhanced DECT scan within 2 weeks before operation were enrolled. Two radiologists analyzed the CT images before operation. All mediastinal lymph nodes with short diameter≥5 mm on axial images were included in this study. The morphological parameters [long-axis diameter (L), short-axis diameter (S) and S/L of lymph nodes] and the DECT parameters [iodine concentration (IC), normalized iodine concentration (NIC), slope of spectral hounsfield unit curve (λHU) and effective atomic number (Zeff) in arterial and venous phase] were measured. The differences of morphological parameters and DECT parameters between metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes were compared. The parameters with significant difference were analyzed by the Logistic regression model, then a new predictive variable was established. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed for S, NIC in venous phase and the new predictive variable.RESULTS:In 57 patients, 49 metastatic lymph nodes and 938 non-metastatic lymph nodes were confirmed by surgical pathology. A total of 163 mediastinal lymph nodes (49 metastatic, 114 non-metastatic) with S≥5 mm were detected on axial CT images. The S, L and S/L of metastatic lymph nodes were significantly higher than those of non-metastatic lymph nodes (P < 0.05). The DECT parameters of metastatic lymph nodes were significantly lower than those of non-metastatic lymph nodes (P < 0.05). The best single morphological parameter for differentiation between metastatic and nonmetastatic lymph nodes was S (AUC, 0.752; threshold, 8.5 mm; sensitivity, 67.4%; specificity, 73.7%; accuracy, 71.8%). The best single DECT parameter for differentiation between metastatic and nonmetastatic lymph nodes was NIC in venous phase (AUC, 0.861; threshold, 0.53; sensitivity, 95.9%; specificity, 70.2%; accuracy, 77.9%). Multivariate analysis showed that S and NIC were independent predictors of lymph node metastasis. The AUC of combined S and NIC in the venous phase was 0.895(sensitivity, 79.6%; specificity, 87.7%; accuracy, 85.3%), which were significantly higher than that of S (P < 0.001) and NIC (P=0.037).CONCLUSIONS:The ability of quantitative DECT parameters to distinguish mediastinal lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients is better than that of morphological parameters. Combined S and NIC in venous phase can be used to improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy of metastatic lymph nodes.
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia caused similar symptoms to other community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It is important to early quarantine suspected patients with COVID-19 pneumonia from patients with other CAP to reduce cross infection. The purpose of the study is to review and compare initial thin-section computed tomography (CT) features in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and other community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods 24 cases of COVID-19 pneumonia (14 males and 10 females; age range, 14-87 years; mean age, 48.0 years) and 28 cases of CAP caused by other pathogens (13 males and 15 females; age range, 24-85 years; mean age, 49.5 years) were included. Thin-section CT features of the lungs for all patients were retrospectively reviewed by two independent radiologists. Results There were no significant differences for the shape of main lesions, pure ground glass attenuation (GGA), mixed GGA with consolidation, air bronchogram, linear opacities, halo sign/reversed halo sign, cavitation and lymphadenopathy between the group of COVID-19 pneumonia and the group of other CAP. However, the frequency of crazy-paving appearance, vessel dilatation, bilaterally involvement and peripherally distribution were significantly higher in patients with COVID-19 compared with other CAP ( p =0.031, p =0.000, p =0.029 and p =0.009, respectively). Conversely, the frequencies of pure consolidation, tree-in-bud sign and pleural effusion were significantly higher in patients with CAP than in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia ( p =0.002, p =0.000 and p =0.048, respectively). Conclusion There are considerable overlaps in thin-section CT features between COVID-19 pneumonia and other CAP. However, the presence of crazy paving pattern, vessel dilation, bilateral involvement and peripheral distribution contributes to the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. While the presence of pure consolidation tree-in-bud sign, pleural effusion can be assisting in exclusive the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Objective:To explore the value of X-ray signs with applying low dose of contrast agent to confirm successful puncture in direct shoulder MR arthrography.Methods:In total 669 patients who underwent shoulder MR arthrography in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received the anterior approach puncture in shoulder arthrography. X-ray films were taken after 1-2 ml contrast agent was injected. Six X-ray signs of contrast agent distribution were recorded. MR arthrography findings were used to confirm whether the puncture was success. Kappa analysis was used to verify the consistency between each 2 signs. The accuracy rate of each X-ray sign to confirm the successful puncture was calculated. X-ray signs were paired to define the best diagnostic index of successful puncture.Results:Successful puncture was performed in arthrographies for all 669 cases .The displaying rates of six signs were as follows. Contrast agent distribution at overlapping humeral head away from the needle was 66.8% (447/669), in axillary recess was 64.7% (433/669), in glenohumeral space was 93.9% (628/669), in subscapular bursa was 69.8% (467/669), in sheath of long head tendon of biceps brachii (LHBT) was 1.9% (13/669), between LHBT and supraspinatus tendon was 17.2% (115/669). Consistency of each 2 signs was poor (Kappa<0.2), in which the poorest consistency was found between contrast agent overlapping humeral head away from the needle and contrast agent in glenohumeral space (Kappa=-0.115). With combining the above 2 signs, the accuracy rate for defining successful puncture was 100% (669/669).Conclusion:In direct shoulder arthrography by anterior approach, X-ray signs with low dose of contrast agent can be regard as the method to confirm successful puncture. The accuracy rate of the signs of contrast agent distribution at overlapping humeral head away from the needle or in glenohumeral space to define a successful puncture is 100%.

To evaluate the utility of mono-exponential and bi-exponential model-based diffusion-weighted MR imaging and IDEAL-IQ sequence for differentiating the activity of sacroiliitis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS patients were divided into active group (n = 30) and inactive group (n = 28) according to Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) with C-reactive protein (CRP). In addition, 30 healthy volunteers were chosen as healthy group. Subjects were scanned by conventional MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, and IDEAL-IQ sequence. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*), perfusion fraction (f), and fat fraction (FF) values were measured, and their relative values (rADC, rD, rD*, rf) were calculated by the formula ADC (D,D*,f)lesion/ADC (D,D*,f)reference, respectively. The ADC, D, rADC, and rD of active group were the highest among the three groups, followed by inactive and healthy group. However, D* and rD* showed no significant difference among the three groups. FF was significantly higher in inactive group than in healthy and active group. ADC and D had significantly higher AUCs than f for differentiating active group from healthy group, while FF had the highest AUC for distinguishing inactive sacroiliitis from healthy group. DWI and IDEAL-IQ imaging are helpful in quantitatively assessing the activity of sacroiliitis in AS patients.
Objective To investigate the clinical value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for evaluating the activity of sacroiliitis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods Totally 73 AS patients were prospectively enrolled and divided into active group (n=43) and chronic group (n=30) according to Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) scores and laboratory findings. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DWI were performed in all subjects. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of subchondral lesions in sacroiliac joint were independently measured by two radiologists,and the relative ADC (rADC) values were calculated. ADC and rADC values were compared between active and chronic groups. The efficiencies of ADC and rADC values for differentiating the activity of sacroiliitis were analyzed. In addition,the correlation coefficients of ADC values,rADC values,and BASDAI scores were calculated.Results The ADC and rADC values in the active group were (0.667±0.122)×10 -3 mm 2/s and (1.715±0.343)×10 -3 mm 2/s,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the chronic group [(0.492±0.0651)×10 -3 mm 2/s and (1.289±0.209)×10 -3 mm 2/s,respectively)] (P<0.0001). The agreement of measurement results between two radiologists was good,and all the interclass correlation coefficients were >0.81. The correlation coefficients of ADC value and rADC value with BASDAI scores were 0.82 and 0.80,respectively (P<0.0001). The optimal cutoff values of ADC value and rADC value for differentiating AS activity were 0.545×10 -3 mm 2/s and 1.467×10 -3 mm 2/s,respectively,The specificity was 81.8% for both indicators,and the sensitivity was 92.0% and 88.0%,respectively.Conclusion DWI is helpful in the quantitative assessment of the activity of sacroiliitis in AS patients.
目的 探讨基于微课的翻转课堂教学模式在医学影像诊断学中的应用效果.方法 2016年5~6月选取北京大学第三医院2012级临床八年制学生50名,将其随机分成实验组和对照组,各25名.实验组采用微课+翻转课堂的混合教学方式,对照组采用传统教学方式,进行10个学时的中枢神经系统影像诊断教学.课后采用问卷调查两组学生对当前实施教学模式的评价,同时比较两组学生中枢神经系统读片的考试成绩.结果 通过基于微课的翻转课堂教学,学生的自学能力、沟通能力、知识掌握及运用能力、读片能力得到提高.此外,实验组平均考试成绩为(87.84+0.93)分,显著高于传统教学组[(79.88±2.71)分](P<0.05).结论 基于微课的翻转课堂教学是一种科学有效的教学模式,可以提高影像诊断学的教学效果.
