Objective: To compare the difference of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT),3-D imensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) for patients with upper esophageal carcinoma. Methods: Ten patients with upper esophageal carcinoma were treated by intensity modulated radiation therapy and 3-D imensional conformal radiation therapy at the same TPS, the difference of exposure dose between target area and critical organ was compared by dose volume histogram(DVH) with the plan target volume (PTV) must reach 95% of the prescription dose. Results: There was significant difference in dose of 95% plan target volume (PTV) (P <0.05) IMRT better than 3D-CRT. For two target conformal index and the prescription dose coverage of GTV percentage IMRT was better than 3DCRT. IMRT reduced maximum dose of spinal cord (P <0.05). There was no difference in the dose of lung and heart (P >0.05). Compared with 3D-CRT, IMRT planning has better dose distribution and protection of normal tissue. Conclusions: IMRT was better than 3DCRT, IMRT is the best radiation therapy.

Objective To discuss the value of Time-Resolved Imaging of Contrast Kinetics (TRICKS) in the diagnosis of lower extremity diseases. Methods 24 cases (27 times) with lower extremity, skeleton and blood vessel diseases undergoing TRICKS were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 cases with both lower extremities two -segment scan, 5 cases(6 times) with one-segment scan(thigh), and 5 cases (7 times) with one-segment scan(calf). Conventional sequences were performed followed by enhanced MR angiography with the TRICKS technique. Results The TRICKS images for all cases satisfied the vascular changes and structure demonstration in arteriovenous phase, and the full circulative process of those pathological vessels were observed. The diagnostic accuracy of TRICKS angiography has been validated. Conclusion The TRICKS provides a method for imaging the change of blood flow. The vascularity in the target vascular and tumor can also be obtained. Hence TRICKS provide important information in clinical decision making.

Objective To discuss the inspect technique and methods of magnetic resonance urography(MRU)in pediatric urinary system. Methods 16 cases with urinary system diseases were analyzed retrospectively,including axial routine FRFSE T2WI with fat saturation and three-dimensional MRU. The three-dimensional(3D) imaging data were sent to AW4.2 workstation,then edited and reconstructed with maximum intensity projection(MIP) and rebuilt. Results 12 cases in 16 cases were congenital abnormality by MRU diagnosis,3 cases were Urinary system diseases and 1 case was normal. 10 cases in 16 cases were performed with surgical intervention,6 cases with medical treatment,which clinical diagnosis were consistent with MRU. 16 cases were accepted examination with B -ultrasonic,6 cases CT and 9 cases IVP. Diagnose accordance rates with MRU were B-ultrasonic 93.7%(15/16),CT 66.7%(4/6),IVP 66.7%(6/9).Conclusion MRU is a safe,convincible and convenient technique,which can provide high quality imaging,so it will be a kind of non-injury imaging method in diagnosing the diseases of pediatric urinary system diseases.

Objective To solve the limitation of the wide-bound imaging from aortic arch to the bifurcation of internal and external carotid artery by changing 3D TOF MRA scan parameters, and discuss the clinical value of this technology in carotid artery angiography. Methods 108 patients with cerebrovascular disease were performed with carotid artery 3D TOF MRA. Images were performed under MIP, MPR and VR. The images of bilateral common carotid arteries, external and internal carotid artery, and vertebral artery were evaluated interactively by two independent radiologists blinded to results. Results 864 blood vessels were observed with 3D TOF MRA, including 672 normal clearly, 17 unclear, 17 congenital variants, 73 un -smooth lesion, 63 vascular stenosis, 9 vascular occlusion, 5 not display, 4 depressed downward, 4 vascular enlargement. Totally,unclear, variation and lesion blood vessels were 192. The results in combination with original image analysis could meet the need of diagonosis. Conclusion 3D TOF MRA as a noninvasive and non contrast agent imaging method can be used to select the carotid stenosis and is quite good in the value of application.

Objective To estimate the clinical effect and application value of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) on patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease (LEAOD). Methods Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PAT) and PATS were performed on 127 patients with diabetic lower limb arteriosclerosis. Results Total achievement ratio was 97.64% (124/127). PTAS was failed in 3 patients, clinical symptoms disappeared or improved in 124 patients. The average ankle brachial index (ABI) before and after operation was 0.35 (0.11-0.58) and 0.87 (0.67-1.06), respectively. The difference in ABI before and after operation was significant (P<0.05). During 3-60 months following-up, arteria iliaca remained open in 53 patients, and no recurrence of clinical symptom was found. At 6, 12, 36 and 60 months after operation, the encumbered superficial femoral artery kept smooth bloodstream with a proportion of 97.78%, 91.11%, 84.44%, 75.56% in 45 patients in upper 2/3 segment and 89.66%, 79.31%, 72.41%, 65.52% in 29 patients in infer 1/3 segment, respectively. Conclusion Long-term vessel recanalization can be obtained effectively and haemodynamics index be remarkably improved with PTA and PTAS in LEAOD patients.
