  • Bowel Wall Thickening——CT Findings and Diagnostic Values

    肠道是人体容易发生疾病的部位之一,肠外局部或全身性疾病也易累及肠道。无论肠道原发疾病还是肠外疾病累及肠道,肠壁增厚都是一种常见而重要的病理改变。钡餐、钡灌肠和纤维内镜是常用的检查手段,但它们只能显示肠腔内及黏膜面的情况; 灰阶超声和多普勒超声可发现肠壁及肠外异常,但敏感性和准确率低,且受操作者经验影响较大。随着影像检查技术的不断进步,CT用于肠道疾病的诊断已日益普遍,多层螺旋CT快速薄层扫描和强大的图像后处理能力使其成为显示肠壁及相关肠外病变的主要手段[1]。虽然很多疾病可造成肠壁增厚,但正确认识肠壁增厚的CT表现特征,包括部位、范围、程度、密度、强化方式和相关肠外异常征象有助于疾病的诊断和鉴别诊断[2,3]。现通过复习肠壁增厚的相关文献,介绍肠壁增厚的基本CT征象,归纳引起肠壁增厚的常见疾病及其表现,并提出CT在诊断肠壁增厚中存在的问题……

  • Preoperative Assessment of Vascular Invasion in Pancreatic CancerValue of CT

    Objective To probe CT grading criteria of vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer. Methods Retrieved articles in CNKI and PubMed about value of CT in preoperative assessment of vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer last ten years. Results Multislice helical CT is considered the best imaging method to assess the invaded peripancreatic vessels in pancreatic cancer. There are different CT criteria of vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer based on extension of hypodense tumor and its relation to blood vessels, on the degree of circumferential contiguity of tumor to vessel, on the degree of lumen stenosis, and on the degree of contiguity between tumor and vessels combined vascular caliber. Conclusion CT grading criteria are not uniform, each one has defects.

  • Comparison of collateral circulation opening status in hepatic and pancreatogenic portal hypertension

    Objective The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of opened collateral circulation status between hepatic portal hypertension (HPH) and pancreatogenic portal hypertension (PPH), to guide the clinical treatment. Methods From Nov. 2015 to Oct. 2017, data of 119 cases of computed tomography portography (CTP) from the Department of Radiology of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital and Department of Radiology of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospective analyzed, and the patients were divided into 2 groups, namely the HPH group (77 patients) and PPH group (42 patients) according to different causes. The diameter of portal vein system (including trunk of portal vein, left gastric vein, splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, and gastroepiploic vein) and the incidences of varicose veins (lower esophageal vein, gastric fundal vein, gastric body vein, Retzius vein varix, umbilical vein open, and splenorenal shunt), as well as the degree of varicose of lower esophageal vein, gastric fundal, and gastric body vein were compared. Results The diameter of portal vein in the HPH group was larger than that of the PPH group, but the diameter of gastroepiploic vein was smaller than that of the PPH group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in left gastric vein, splenic vein, and superior mesenteric vein between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Significant differences were found in varicose veins incidence of gastric and lower esophageal vein (P<0.05), the varicose veins incidence of gastric was lower and varicose veins incidence of lower esophageal vein was higher in the HPH group. Statistically significant differences were also found in the incidence of umbilical vein open, Retzius varicose veins and splenorenal shunt between the 2 groups (P<0.05), and the incidences were all higher in the HPH group. Conclusions There are differences in collateral circulation status between the HPH and PPH. Gastric fundal and lower esophageal vein varices are easy to appear simultaneously in HPH, while gastric fundal and body vien varices are mostly only occurred in PPH. Compared with HPH, the degree of gastric fundal and lower esophageal vein varices is more mild in PPH.

  • Comparative Study of Quantitative Diagnosis of Hepatic Fat Content by MRI and Patholgy

    ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of spectral saturation inversion recovery, gradient-echo chemical shift MRI, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in quantifying hepatic fat content. MethodsConventional T1-weighted and T2-weighted scanning (without fat saturation and with fat saturation), gradient-echo T1W in-phase (IP) and opposedphase (OP) images and 1H-MRS were performed in 31 healthy volunteers and 22 patients who were candidates for liver surgery. Signal intensities of T1WI amp; T1WIFS (SInonfat1, SIfat1), T2WI amp; T2WI-FS (SInonfat2, SIfat2), and IP amp; OP (SIin, SIout) were measured respectively, the relative signal intensity one (RSI1), relative signal intensity two (RSI2), and fat index (FI) were calculated. Peak values and the area under peak of 1H-MRS were measured, and the relative lipid content of liver cells (RLC ) were calculated. Twenty-two patients accepted liver resection and histological examination after MRI scanning, the proportion of fatty degenerative cells were calculated by image analysis software. Results①Hepatic steatosis group showed higher average values of RSI1, FI, and RLC to non-hepatic steatosis group (Plt;0.05), while there was no significant difference in RSI2 between two groups (Pgt;0.05). ②There was a statistical significant difference in RLC among different histopathological grades of hepatic steatosis, and RLC increased in parallel with histopathological grade (Plt;0.05).There was no significant difference in RSI2, RSI1, and FI among different histopathological grades, although the latter two had a tendency of increasing concomitant with histopathological grade (Pgt;0.05). ③The values of FI and RLC were positively correlated with the PFDC (r=0468, P=0.027; r=0771, Plt;0.000 1), while they were not in RSI1 and RSI2 (r=0.411, P=0.057; r=0.191, P=0.392). ConclusionsSPIR, Gradient-echo chemical shift MRI and 1H-MRS can help to differentiate patients with hepatic steatosis from normal persons, the latter also can help to classify hepatic steatosis. In quantifying hepatic fat content, 1H-MRS is superior to gradient-echo chemical shift MRI, while SPIR’s role is limited.
