[Objective]To explore the efficacy of T2* mapping for evaluating inflammatory activity in the patients with Crohn disease(CD).[Methods]A total of 98 CD patients underwent MR enterographywith T2*WI. T2* values were measured by put-ting regions of interest on the thickening bowel wall on T2*mapping. The activity of bowel segment was scored by magnetic resonance index of activity(MaRIA),to analyze the relationship between T2*values with CD activity.[Results]A total of 160 bowel segments were evaluated and includedinactive(MaRIA<7,n=26),mild(7≤MaRIA<11,n=23),and moderately-severe(MaRIA≥11, n = 111)active lesions. The differences in T2* values amongthese three groups were significant(all P < 0.05). T2* values of 160 bowel segments correlatedclosely withMaRIA(r=0.743,P<0.05). High accuracy of T2*values was shown for differentiating inac-tive from active CD(AUC=0.877)anddifferentiating inactive-mild from moderate-severe CD(AUC=0.848). The threshold T2*value of 20 ms allowed differentiation of mild from moderate-severe CD with74.5%sensitivity and 84%specificity.[Conclusions]T2*values, as thequantitative indexof T2*mapping,correlate well with CD activity and showsatisfiedefficacy for diagnosing inflammatoryactivity.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) and DWI for detecting intestinal wall property of crohn's disease (CD). Methods Forty four patients with CD were prospectively enrolled in the study, and MR enterography (MRE), MTI and DWI were performed. According to MRE findings, patients were divided into three subgroups:acute inflammatory group, chronic fibrotic group and combined inflammatory with fibrotic group. Intestinal wall T2WI signal, magnetization transmisson rate (MTR) and ADC value were measured on MRE, MRI and DWI imagings, respectively. The differences of MTR and ADC among the three groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA;the differences of T2WI scores were analysed by Kruskal Wallis;the differences of MTR and ADC values between normal and pathological intestinal wall were analyzed by paired t test;ROC curve were used to evaluate the CD fibrosis and inflammation diagnostic efficiency of MTI ana DWI based on MRE signs. Results Among the 44 cases, 11 cases were in the acute inflammatory group, 18 cases were in the chronic fibrotic group and other 15 cases were in the combination group. The T2WI score, MTR and ADC among the three groups showed significant differences (all P<0.01).The mean MTR and ADC of pathological intestinal wall of the 44 cases were (40.77±6.05)%and (1.04±0.18)× 10-3mm2/s, and the adjacent normal bowel were (21.75±4.17)%and (1.97 ± 0.23) × 10- 3mm2/s, respectively. Moreover, the difference of the above values showed significant differences (t=19.12,-21.80 respectively, all P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between MTR and T2WI score (r=-0.71,P<0.01). While ADC value was positively correlated with T2WI score (r=0.80, P<0.01). Using ROC curve analysis to differentiate the CD fibrosis from acute inflammation, the area under the curve (AUC) of MTR and ADC were 0.97 and 0.96 ,respectively. Conclusions Both MTI and DWI can be used to assess the properties of intestinal wall, which has the same diagnostic efficacy to identify the acute inflammation and fibrosis.

Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare germ cell neoplasm of childhood that usually arises from the testis or ovary. The rare cases of YST in various extragonadal locations have been reported, but the primary intrarenal YST is even more uncommon. Here, we report a case of a primary intrarenal YST with tumor thrombus of the inferior vena cava and left renal vein in a 2-year-old boy, with an emphasis on the CT features. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an intrarenal YST with intravascular involvement.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of MDCT with vessel probe(VP) in the diagnosis and treatment of isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD).
METHODSClinical and imaging data of 15 patients with ISMAD admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from June 2008 to May 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Relationship among radiograpic features, clinical symptoms and therapeutic options of ISMAD was examined based on the imaging of 64-MDCT with VP.
RESULTSThe dissection crevasse of all the 15 patients located in anterior arterial wall, and the distance was(24.3±9.7) mm from the origin of SMA. Meanwhile dissection crevasse of 73.3%(11/15) patients located in the zone within 1 cm of proximal end and 1 cm of distal end of the proximal SMA curvature. There were significant differences between patients without abdominal pain(8 cases) and those with abdominal pain(7 cases) in dissection length, minor diameter ratio of true lumen to false lumen, major diameter ratio of true lumen to false lumen(all P<0.01). According to classification of Yun, there were 5 patients of typeI( and 3 type II(a, whose conservative treatment were successful. In other 7 patients of type II(b, 3 patients received successful conservative treatment, and 4 patients had symptom remission after turning to interventional treatment or surgery.
CONCLUSIONS64-MDCT with VP can clearly depict the image manifestation of ISMAD, which provides evidence for the diagnosis and therapeutic options of ISMAD.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of comprehensive application of CT and PET/CT in differential diagnosing mucinous and non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma.
METHODSCT and PET/CT image data of 37 patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma and 50 patients with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Differences of image were compared between two methods.
RESULTSOn CT, lesion density of pre-contrast, pro-contrast phase and enhancement degree were significantly lower in mucinous adenocarcinoma than those in non-mucinous adenocarcinoma(all P<0.01). Enhancement degree of hypointense area, hypointense area proportion of total lesion, and lymphatic or distant metastasis ratio were significantly higher in mucinous adenocarcinoma than those in non-mucinous adenocarcinoma(all P<0.05). On PET/CT, maximal SUV value of mucinous adenocarcinoma was significantly lower as compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma[(8.64±4.34) Bq/L vs. (12.38±5.96) Bq/L, P=0.015].
CONCLUSIONSCT combined with PET/CT provides better valuable information in differential diagnosing between mucinous and non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma and clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a novel standardized magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) parameter which considers the element of the normal bowel wall and to compare the efficacy of the MTR, normalized MTR, and standardized MTR in evaluating intestinal fibrosis in Crohn's disease (CD).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Abdominal magnetization transfer imaging from 20 consecutive CD patients were analyzed before performing elective operations. MTR parameters were calculated by delineating regions of interest in specified segments on MTR maps. Specimens with pathologically confirmed bowel fibrosis were classified into one of four severity grades. The correlation between MTR parameters and fibrosis score was tested by Spearman's rank correlation. Differences in MTR, normalized MTR, and standardized MTR across diverse histologic fibrosis scores were analyzed using the independent sample t test or the Mann-Whitney U test. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was computed to test the efficacies of the MTR parameters in differentiating severe intestinal fibrosis from mild-to-moderate fibrosis.RESULTS: Normalized (r = 0.700; p < 0.001) and standardized MTR (r = 0.695; p < 0.001) showed a strong correlation with bowel fibrosis scores, followed by MTR (r = 0.590; p < 0.001). Significant differences in MTR (t = −4.470; p < 0.001), normalized MTR (Z = −5.003; p < 0.001), and standardized MTR (Z = −5.133; p < 0.001) were found between mild-to-moderate and severe bowel fibrosis. Standardized MTR (AUC = 0.895; p < 0.001) had the highest accuracy in differentiating severe bowel fibrosis from mild-to-moderate bowel wall fibrosis, followed by normalized MTR (AUC = 0.885; p < 0.001) and MTR (AUC = 0.798; p < 0.001).CONCLUSION: Standardized MTR is slightly superior to MTR and normalized MTR and therefore may be an optimal parameter for evaluating the severity of intestinal fibrosis in CD.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of magnetization transfer MRI (MTI) for bowel inflammation and fibrosis in humans with Crohn disease (CD). Methods From July 2014 through April 2017, 31 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CD were prospectively recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat Sen University. They were scheduled for elective surgery due to bowel obstruction and other complications, and underwent preoperative MR enterography (MRE) and MTI within 15 days of surgery. All cases had available intestinal specimens identified on MRE and resected bowel segments for region by region matching. All patients underwent breath hold conventional MRE and MTI examinations, and then the magnetization transfer ratios (MTRs) of pathological bowel segments were measured. Using region by region correlation between MTI and surgical specimen, the bowel segments were resected to stain with HE for evaluating bowel inflammation, Masson for bowel fibrosis, and typeⅠcollagen staining for the deposition of typeⅠcollagen within the bowel walls. The histologic sections from the most severe areas were scored as 0 (normal), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The correlations between MTR and histologic scores were analyzed by using Spearman rank correlation or partial correlation. The differences in MTR among different grades of bowel fibrosis were analyzed by one way ANOVA. The efficacy of MTR for predicting bowel fibrosis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves analysis. The difference in MTRs between purely inflammatory bowel walls and mixed fibrotic and inflammatory bowel walls was analyzed by Student s t test. Results Sixty two resected bowel specimens from 31 patients including 9 purely inflammatory bowel walls and 53 mixed fibrotic and inflammatory bowel walls were obtained in this study. There were significant differences in MTR among non fibrotic [(21.45 ± 2.65)%], mildly [(30.88 ± 6.14)%], moderately [(35.14 ± 4.31)%] and severely [(35.14 ± 4.31)%] fibrotic walls (F=38.397,P<0.01). MTRs strongly correlated with fibrosis scores (r=0.681, P<0.01). High accuracy of MTRs was shown (curve under area=0.905, P<0.01) for differentiating moderately severely fibrotic from non fibrotic and mildly fibrotic bowel walls. Using MTR of 31.50% as a cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity were 93.6% and 80.0%, respectively. The MTRs of purely inflammatory bowel walls [(21.45 ± 2.65)%] were significantly higher than that of mixed fibrotic and inflammatory [(36.28±5.21)%] bowel walls (t=-13.052,P<0.01). MTRs correlated with the scores of type Ⅰ collagen (r=0.325, P=0.044) but did not correlate with inflammation scores (r=-0.024, P=0.857). Conclusions MTI enables quantitative evaluation of bowel fibrosis in patients with CD and can be used to differentiate purely inflammatory CD from mixed fibrotic and inflammatory CD.
