Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(11):-
Objective To discuss the application valueof the multi-slice spiral CT indiagnosing breast cancer. Methods The images of scanning, enhancing and reconstruction were analyzed in 71 cases of breast cancer proved by clinical pathology. Results All the 71cases were the type of mass. The shapes of the tumor in 57 cases were irregular, burrs can be seen in 48 cases , the skin in 8 cases changed, the nipples in 4 cases sunk, the tissue around the tumor was invaded in 12 cases; The CT value of the tumor rised greatly after enhancement, theranges of value was form 18 to 83 HU. Axilla lumph nodes were detected in 32 cases, Wecan find the lumph node in mediastinum and lung metasis; The tumor and tissue around it can be shown well in multi-orientations through images reconstruction. Conclusions The multi-slice spiral CT has the evident application value in pualitative diagnosing breast cancer.

PurposeTo investigate the image quality of Dual Source CT (DSCT) high pitch prospective scan in acute chest pain examination by using triple-rule-out (TRO) protocol and its responses to heart beat rate change.Materials and Methods Thirty-two consecutive patients who planned to undergo TRO acute chest pain examination were enrolled and randomly divided into research group and control group. The conventional retrospective spiral scanning protocol was applied to the patients in the control group, while the high pitch prospective spiral scanning mode was used in the research group. CT value, noise level, SNR, CNR and radiation dosage in aorta and pulmonary arteries were recorded and compared between the two groups, and the image quality of the coronary arteries was scored subjectively.Results No significant difference was found in the aspects such as CT value, noise level, SNR, CNR radiation dosage in aorta and pulmonary arteries (P>0.05); however, the subjective scoring for coronary artery in the research group (85.5%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (93.9%) (χ2=8.33,P<0.05). Considering the influence of severe heart rate changes, we excluded those patients whose heart rate variance was more than 5 beats/min (control group:n=5; research group:n=4) and then compared the image quality of the two groups again. The subsequent results showed no difference (χ2=0.12,P>0.05). In addition, the radiation dosage in the control group was significantly higher than that in the research group [(20.8±6.2) mSvvs. (2.3±0.4) mSv;t=17.142,P<0.01].Conclusion DSCT high pitch prospective scanning in TRO protocol shows high success rate in examining patients with acute chest pain whose heart beat rate is lower than 80 beats/min and heart beat variance is less than 5 beats/min. The image quality has no difference with that derived from retrospective scan but with far more less radiation dose (2.3±0.4) mSv. This method thus is promising and can be widely promoted clinically.

Objective To investigate the technique and method of MSCT in examination of laryngeal. Methods MSCT data of 28 patients with laryngeal carcinoma confirmed pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Images quality was evaluated and the results obtained with various windows and CT virtual larynscopy were compared. Results All images had good quality,20 cases(69% ) could be displayed with conventional soft tissue windows,24 cases(81% ) could be demonstrated with lung windows,and 27 cases(93% ) could be demonstrated with CT virtual larynscopy. Conclusion The multislice CT could effectively demonstrate laryngeal carcinoma, and could be applied routinely in examination of laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of application of three-dimensional reconstruction technique of MSCT in examination of colonic tumours.Methods Thirty patients underwent scanning using helical CT and post-processing on the workstation.All CTC images were reconstructed using shaded surface display (SSD) on workstation.Perspestive images such as the ones from DCBE were generated via raysum.The images could clearly demonstrate the extent and detail of the disorder by adjusting the CT value threshold.These results and that of barium enema and colon endoscopy were compared.Results Thirty cases had completely clinical and pathological data.3D images could correctly reveal the macroscopic morphology of colon tract and location of lesions.The correctly diagnostic rate was 100% by MSCT,while the diagnostic rate by CTVE and colon endoscopy was basicly identical.Conclusion With the utilization of multiple methods,3D reconstruction can effectively demonstrate colonic tumours,and can be applied routinely in examination of colonic tumours.
