Journal of Practical Radiology 2017;33(3):401-404,459
Objective To evaluate the role of short-term follow-up MRI in the detection of postoperative breast residual cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 13 patients who were diagnosed as nonmalignant breast lesions by preoperative clinical and ultrasound and mammography examinations and intraoperative frozen pathology.However,these patients were finally confirmed as malignant breast lesions by paraffin pathology and received corresponding second operations.Routine MRI,DCE-MRI and EPI-DWI scan were performed on the 13 patients within one month after the first operation and these MRI features and patholo-gy were comparatively analyzed.Results All the cases showed local mammary architecture distortion both in routine MRI and DCE-MRI.The enhancement characteristics of the 13 cases were as follows:3 cases of stippled enhancement,4 cases of small nodular en-hancement,1 dendritic enhancement,1 network enhancement,1 ring-like enhancement of cystic wall and 3 cases of no abnormal en-hancement.The lesions of 7 cases showed type Ⅰ curve (progressive enhancement pattern)and 6 cases showed type Ⅱ curve (plat-eau pattern).The lesions of 6 cases showed decreased ADC value.In summary,there were 6 cases of tumor residue diagnosed by both MRI and the second pathology,while only 1 case of residual neuroendocrine carcinoma was misdiagnosed by MRI but confirmed by the second pathology.Conclusion Short-term follow-up MRI could be of value in determining postoperative breast residual tumor, and could be helpful for surgeons to make accurate operation plan.

Objective To assess the application of automated four-dimensional (4D) volume color Doppler ultrasonography in normal fetal heart screening. Methods Four-dimensional volume color Doppler was acquired at the level of four chamber view level in 120 fetuses from 18 to 23 weeks of gestation. Three diagnostic planes including color Doppler information were retrieved by automated multiplanar imaging from the 4D volumes. The left ventricular outflow view (cardiac plane 1), the right ventricular outflow view (cardiac plane 2) and ductal arch view (cardiac plane 3) were acquired. Tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI) was added to display all the three diagnostic planes. The data were then analyzed to determine whether cardiac planes 1-3 were displayed correctly in each volume. Results Automated 4D volume color Doppler ultrasonography displaying rate of cardiac plane 1, cardiac plane 2, cardiac plane 3 were 100%, 96.67% and 91.67%, respectively. Cardiac plane 1 was displayed at least three TUI plane, cardiac plane 2 was displayed at least two TUI plane, and cardiac plane 3 was displayed at least two TUI plane. Conclusion It is possible to acquire important planes of the fetal heart with automated 4D volume color Doppler ultrasonography and the visualization rate of the three diagnostic planes is fine.

Objective To assess the application value of real time three-dimensional (RT-3D) ultrasonography in diagnosis of fetal corrected transposition of the great arties (cTGA). Methods Data of 14 fetuses diagnosed as cTGA clinically were reviewed. With 2D ultrasonography, diagnosis views were obtained and then studied using cardiac three-section analytic method. With real time 3D (RT-3D) ultrasonography, volume datasets were acquired at the level of four chamber view, and spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) was then used to analyze the relationship of the two great arties. Confirmed by infant echocardiography and the autopsy findings, the accuracy of RT-3D and 2D ultrasonography in evaluation of fetal cTGA and complications were compared. Results The accuracy rate of RT-3D and 2D ultrasonography in diagnosis of fetal cTGA was 92.86% and 71.43% (χ~2=2.19, P=0.14). The procedure time of RT-3D ultrasonography was significantly shorter than that of 2D ultrasonography (t=10.23, P<0.001). Conclusion RT-3D ultrasonography can evaluate fetal cTGA and its complications more quickly and exactly than conventional 2D ultrasonography.
