Objective To compare the image quality of renal artery in-flow inversion recovery MR angiography (IFIR MRA), CTA and contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) and to assess the value of renal artery IFIR MRA. Methods Thirty five patients were prospectively included in this study.Renal artery CTA was performed in 19 patients and renal artery CE-MRA was performed in 16 patients. In addition to renal artery CTA or CE-MRA, all patients underwent renal artery IFIR MRA. Two radiologists separately graded renal artery image quality, renal venous artifact and the visualization of renal artery branches regarding these three different techniques. Wilcoxon signed rank test of paired samples was used to compare the grading results, t test of paired samples was applied to compare the results of renal artery (accessory renal artery) trunk diameter. The consistency evaluation of renal artery image quality and renal venous artifact grades between two radiologists employed Kappa analysis. Results There was no significant difference between IFIR MRA and CTA with renal artery image quality and renal venous artifact (P>0.05). There was significant difference between IFIR MRA and CE-MRA with renal artery image quality and renal venous artifact (P<0.05). The consistency evaluation results of renal artery image quality and renal venous artifact grades between two radiologists were both good. Kappa value were 0.425 to 1.000. CTA of 19 cases depicted 48 renal arteries (38 renal arteries, 10 accessory renal arteries), IFIR MRA depicted them all. The grades of visualization of renal artery branches about IFIR MRA and CTA were (3.7 ± 0.7) and (3.8 ± 0.6) respectively, renal artery trunk diameter of IFIR MRA and CTA were (4.9 ± 1.3) and (5.0 ± 1.4) mm respectively, there was no significant difference between IFIR MRA and CTA (P>0.05).CE-MRA of 16 cases depicted 38 renal arteries (32 renal arteries, 6 accessory renal arteries), IFIR MRA depicted them all. The grades of visualization of renal artery branches about IFIR MRA and CE-MRA were (3.4±0.8) and (2.5±0.9) respectively, and there was significant difference between IFIR MRA and CE-MRA (Z=-4.040, P<0.01). Renal artery trunk diameter of IFIR MRA and CE-MRA were (4.7±1.3) and (4.7±1.2) mm respectively, there was no significant difference between IFIR MRA and CE-MRA (P>0.05). Conclusions The image quality of renal artery IFIR MRA was equal to CTA and superior to CE-MRA. It could be considered as an alternative technique for renal artery angiography.

Objective: To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of infantile congenital subglottic hemangioma. Method:Nine patients with recurrent stridor,feeding difficulties and laryngeal obstruction were diagnosed as con-genital subglottic hemangioma with bronchia endoscopy. The lesions were unilateral in 7 cases and bilateral in 2 ca-ses. Eight cases were treated by intralesional Pingyangmycin injection after tracheotomy. Patients were discharged with metal trachea and were followed up endoscopically 2 weeks thereafter. A second treatment would be required if the tumor reduced in size but not disappeared completely. Plugging tubes and extubation would be done when the tumor disappeared completely. One case with unilateral lesion underwent power-assisted tumor resection with-out tracheotomy. Result: Hemangioma vanished completely in 6 patients with unilateral subglottic hemangioma who were treated with single stage procedure. Tumor size was found reduced significantly after one procedure and van-ished completely after a second procedure in 2 cases with bilateral subglottic hemangioma. All of the 8 cases were extubated successfully. The patient recovered thoroughly in two weeks after power-assisted tumor resection. Con-clusion: Intralesional Pingyangmycin injection after tracheotomy can relief the airway obstruction quickly, shorten the nature course of hemangioma, shorten the period of wearing trachea, has no complication such as subglottic stenosis and is thought to be a safe and effective therapy for large size hemangioma. Power-assisted tumor resec-tion under good total anesthesia without tracheotomy combined with well hemostasis is effective, less injure, and suitable for small size hemangioma.
