目的:采用高分辨多排螺旋CT研究鼻中隔和中鼻甲解剖变异,并评价它们对前组鼻副窦引流通道的影响。方法:回顾分析60例行鼻腔和副鼻窦高分辨多排螺旋CT检查患者的图像资料。 其中男35例,女25例,平均年龄42岁。所有受试者均采用16排螺旋CT机行高分辨容积扫描,层面从硬腭至额窦上缘,准直0.75~1 mm,横断、冠状和矢状重建,层厚及层距均为1 mm。分别观察和统计鼻中隔和中鼻甲解剖变异的类型和发生率,并评价其与前组鼻副窦引流通道的关系。结果:60例中,共发现鼻中隔变异45例(75%),其中鼻隔偏曲45例(单向偏曲31例,双向偏曲14例);犁骨软骨结合部畸形5例(肥大2例,脱位3例);鼻隔刺16例。中鼻甲变异共43例(71.7%),其中反曲15例;气化9例;双侧不对称20例(46.5%)。不对称中鼻甲中,增大一侧多见于鼻隔偏移方向的对侧,多数伴有不同程度的钩突移位和筛漏斗或鼻道狭窄。结论:鼻腔和中鼻甲不对称与鼻中隔偏曲关系密切,后者是导致前组鼻副窦引流通道中的关键部位--中鼻道和筛漏斗狭窄的重要原因。
目的:分析口咽部B细胞来源非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的CT表现、特征,初步探讨不同病理类型B细胞来源NHL的CT表现特点,为临床诊断和治疗提供更为准确的信息。方法:对18例经病理证实的口咽部B细胞来源非霍奇金淋巴瘤的CT表现进行回顾性分析。结果:18例中,弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤13例,占72.2%(13/18),滤泡性淋巴瘤3例,占16.7%(3/18),套细胞淋巴瘤1例,占5.6%(1/18),结外边缘区淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)1例,占5.6%(1/18)。病变分布为:扁桃体NHL9例(弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤8例、套细胞淋巴瘤1例);舌根8例(弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤5例、滤泡性淋巴瘤3例);软腭1例,为结外边缘区淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)。18例病变均表现为肿块型。同时有淋巴结受累者12例(66.7%),其中双侧受累者3例。结论:口咽B细胞来源NHL多发生于扁桃体及舌根。病理类型以弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤为主,主要表现为肿块。 CT对于B细胞来源NHL的鉴别诊断和病变范围的判断具有重要作用。
目的:探讨嗅沟脑膜瘤的影像学表现与病理组织学之间的相关关系及其鉴别诊断。方法:对11例经手术及病理证实为嗅沟脑膜瘤的患者进行回顾性分析。男5例,女6例,年龄29~59岁,平均48岁。行CT检查3例,MRI检查8例,均为增强扫描。分析CT、MRI影像特征,并与手术、病理结果对照。结果:瘤灶起源于颅前窝嗅沟,多数密度或信号均匀,边界清楚,均匀增强;少数不均匀增强,大部分病例出现脑膜尾征,少数伴钙化、坏死、囊变。邻近颅骨受累时引起骨质增生或受侵。结论:起源于嗅沟的脑膜瘤均具有典型的影像学表现特征。嗅沟骨质及其脑膜影像改变的显示,对瘤灶起源具有重要的定位、定性诊断价值。MRI优于CT,但CT对钙化和骨质改变显示优于MRI。
ObjectiveTo explore the value and role of post-processing techniques such as 3D reconstruction in the online education mode in neurosurgery undergraduate clinical probation teaching.MethodsA retrospective analysis method was used to collect 120 clinical 5-year medical students who were trained in neurosurgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2019 to May 2020, including 40 students receiving traditional imaging materials offline (control group 1), 40 students being taught on image post-processing technology offline (control group 2), and 40 students being taught on-line image post-processing technology during the novel coronavirus epidemic (observational group). The students’ scores of departmental rotation examination and feedback survey results on teaching satisfaction were collected, and multiple comparison was conducted between the observational group and the two control groups respectively.ResultIn the control group 1, the control group 2, and the observational group, the theoretical test scores were 36.80±3.22, 38.17±2.61, and 38.97±2.79, respectively; the case analysis scores were 37.05±2.01, 38.40±2.62, and 39.25±2.88, respectively; the total scores were 73.85±5.06, 76.57±4.29, and 78.10±4.53, respectively; the scores of interest in teaching were 84.47±3.71, 86.05±2.87, and 86.82±2.60, respectively; the scores of mastery of knowledge were 82.85±4.39, 84.90±2.72, and 85.78±2.36, respectively; and the scores of overall satisfaction with teaching were 84.17±3.45, 85.97±2.64, and 86.37±2.59, respectively. The differences among the three groups were all statistically significant (P<0.05). The observational group differed significantly from the control group 1 in all the above scores (P<0.05), while did not differed from the control group 2 in any of the above scores (P>0.05).ConclusionsIn neurosurgery internship activities, the online application of image post-processing techniques such as 3D reconstruction will help students establish 3D spatial concepts, better understand the brain anatomy, and improve students’ academic performance and acceptance.
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of temporal Done high-resolution computed tornography (HRCT) in cholesteatoma. Methods There were 30 causes that had received the mastoid surgery because of cholesteatoma. Each patient’s mastoid plain films (Schuller’s and Mayer’s ) and HRCT had been taken and compared with each other and surgical findings and evaluated with health economic evaluation methods. Results The sensitivity rate in diagnosing cholesteatoma with HRCF was much higher than that with mastoid film (Plt;0.005). The more important benefit with HRCT was that it can afford the detail information in ear such as the ossicular chain, facial nerve canal, tympanic sinus, etc. which were basis for otologist in surgery to remove the focus thoroughly and reconstruct the middle ear function at the same time. In the view of health economic evaluation, HRCT is also much better than mastoid X-ray film. Conclusion HRCT should replace masloid Schuller’s and Mayer’s film in diagnosis cholesteatoma and HRCT should use as ordinary examination in chronic otitis media.
Objective To explore the manifestations and features of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the diagnosisof papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods Preoperative MSCT data of 35 cases of PTC proved by operation and pathology in our hospital form May. to Jun. in 2013 were observed retrospectively, to analyze the manifestations and characteristics of MSCT for it. Results Of 35 patients with PTC, MSCT totally showed 48 lesions, 68.6% (24/35) of patients with single lesion, 31.4% (11/35) of patients with 2-3 lesions, and 62.9% (22/35) of patients with lymph node metastasis. Of the 48 lesions, 29.2% (14/48) of lesions located in the left lobe, 70.8% (34/48) of lesions located in the right lobe;the lesions’ maximum diameter were 0.4-5.8cm, with the average maximum diameter of 1.3cm. There were 39.6% (19/48) of lesions with uneven density, 25.0% (12/48) of lesions with irregular shape, 47.9% (23/48) of lesions with blurred edges, 18.8% (9/48) of lesions had papillary enhanced tumor nodules, 10.4% (5/48) of lesions had peritumoral incomplete enhanced ring sign, 22.9% (11/48) of lesions invaded surrounding tissue or organs. There were 35.4% (17/48) of lesions had calcification, in which 76.4% (13/17) of lesions were fine granular calcification, 11.8% (2/17) of lesions were mixed calcification, and 11.8% (2/17) of lesions were coarse calcification. Conclusion MSCT manifestations of PTC have certain characteristics, which can provide imaging basis for clinical treatment options.
ObjectiveTo analyze the CT features of parotid tuberculosis, in order to increase the cognition and diagnostic level of the disease. MethodsNine cases of parotid tuberculosis confirmed by pathology and laboratory examinations between August 2009 and December 2012 were collected retrospectively, and we analyzed their CT features which were then compared with pathological findings. ResultsAll the 9 cases involved unilateral parotid, among which 7 were on the left side and 2 on the right side. Eight cases were parotid lymph node tuberculosis located in parotid superficial lobe, including 3 cases of single lesion and 5 cases of multiple lesions. There were 30 lesions in total with diameters ranging from 0.5 cm to 4.5 cm, presenting slightly lower density on CT scan. Twenty-five lesions were moderate homogeneous enhancement; four lesions were ring-like enhancement; and one lesion was lace-like enhancement. Six cases of parotid lymph node tuberculosis had thickened platysma, and subcutaneous fat and skin were at different levels. Six cases in the group were accompanied with enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. One case of parotid gland essence tuberculosis involved its superficial and deep lobe diffusely presenting heterogeneous slightly low density, in which we could see some patchy low density and nodular calcification. All the parotid gland essence presented diffuse enhancement with irregular liquefactive necrosis, mildly swelling of adjacent platysma and fat, without enlargement of cervical lymph node. ConclusionCT signs of parotid tuberculosis are closely related to its pathologic changes. For the lesions in unilateral parotid superficial lobe, we should consider the diagnosis of parotid lymph node tuberculosis with the signs of homogeneous enhancement, thickness of close platysma, subcutaneous fat and skin, and enlargement of cervical lymph node.
