Long LIU ; Lianfang DU ; Xiao JIA

Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy.2011;08(5):384-389.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value and pathological basis of peritumoral hyperenhanced rim (PHR) of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) on CEUS.MethodsCEUS images of 53 patients with 54 renal tumors (27 RCCs,27 renal angiomyolipomas) were analyzed,and the detection and distribution of PHR were evaluated.HE staining and immunohistochemistry of CD34 were performed in tissue surrounding RCCs (TSR) to observe distribution of psuedocapsule,large vessels,and microvasculars among TSR with different modes of PHR.ResultsPHR was found only in RCCs.PHR distribution between RCCs and angiomyolipomas was statistically different (P＜0.05).Using PHR to diagnose RCC,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,false positive and false negative was 44.44％ (12/27),100％ (27/27),100％ (12/12),64.29％ (27/42),0 (0/27) and 35.71％ (15/42),respectively.Pseudocapsule distribution between RCCs with PHR and RCCs without PHR was not statistically different (P＞ 0.05).There were rich large blood vessels in TSR with PHR in washin and both phases,and few or thimbleful large vessels were found in TSR without PHR in washout phase.Cancer tissue near the boundary (CTNB) of TSR had the highest microvessel density (MVD).MVD differences in different TSR with PHR were statistically different between washin and washout phases,washin and both phases,both phases with PHR and without PHR (P＜0.05),but no statistical difference was found between washout and both phases (P＞0.05).ConclusionPHR is a highly specific complementary indicator in diagnosing RCC,and it is correlated with rich blood vessels in TSR and (or) a higher MVD value in CTNB.

Advances and clinical application of noninvasive imaging modalities in assessing right ventricular function

Yingkun GUO ; Zhigang YANG

Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy.2010;7(1):78-81.

Right ventricular (RV) function is very important for patients with respiratory and cardiovascular disorders resulting in RV impairments. Since RV has complex geometry of the chamber, it is difficult to accurately measure the RV volumetric parameters with conventional imaging modalities, especially those with dilated and abnormal RV. With the emergence and wide use of new noninvasive imaging modalities in accessing the cardiac anatomy and function, real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE), multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) and new MRI sequences, noninvasive quantitative assessment of the RV function has attracted more and more worldwide attention.

Huiqun WANG ; Wei TIAN

Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy.2009;6(6):530-532.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of 3D-CE MRA for nutcracker syndrome (NCS).Methods The 3D-CE MRA appearances of 4 patients of NCS and control group ( 30 persons) were analyzed.Results The left kidney vein (LKV) crossed before abdominal aorta in 4 NCS patients and 30 controls- The average angle of the origin of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) from the abdominal aorta was (84.50±3.60)° in control group,and became small (<30°) in 4 NCS patients.The distance of the origin of the SMA to the beginning of descent was (13.40±5.10) mm,and the SMA and abdominal aorta in the axial plane crossing the LKV was (16.40±5.10) mm in controls,and all decreased in 4 NCS patients whose LKV was obviously compressed.The average ratio of expansion to stenosis caliber of the LKV was 4,5 in 4 NCS patients,whereas 1.4 in the controls.Conclusion 3D-CE MRA can display relation between abdominal aorta,SMA and LKV,thus exactly diagnose the nutcracker syndrome.

Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy.2009;6(6):516-519.

Objective To analyze the causes,treatment and prevention of operation-related complications in liver malignancy patients after CT-guided percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT).Methods A total of 68 patients with liver malignancy underwent CT-guided PMCT and their complications were analyzed retrospectively.Results The tumor diameter was 2.0-13.8 cm,mean 6.2 cm.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was performed before PMCT in 64 patients,and 68 patients received 120 times of PMCT (1-8 times per patient).The main untoward reaction of PMCT was vagus nerve accentuation.Seven patients (7/120,5.83%) had complications including needle-tract implantation (n=2),liver abscess (n=2),pneumatothorax (n=1),cardiovascular accident (n=l) and enormous biloma with infection (n=l),6 were treated finally,and implanted tumor advanced in 1 patient.Conclusion CT-guided PMCT in liver malignancies is a safe therapeutic option with low rate of operation-related complications,which can be prevented and treated.Complications of PMCT are associated with the needle tract,frequency,coagulation range and perioperative management.

Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy.2009;6(4):349-351.

Objective To explore the two-dimensional images features and color flow characteristics of scrofula, as well as their application in the localization of scrofula. Methods A total of 110 cases of the scrofula confirmed by operation were retrospectively analyzed. Two-dimensional images and color flow characteristics, the relationship with vascular traveling and the invasion site were recorded. Results Lymph nodes of the lateral neck region along with large vessels were most commonly involved, then followed the submaxillary lymph nodes and the lymph nodes anterior neck longitudinally. There might be multiple lesions behaving differently on two-dimensional images and with different color flow characteristics. Conclusion Most of scrofula can be diagnosed clearly according to the two-dimensional images and color flow characteristics. The description of relationship between involved lymph nodes with vascular, the depth and position of scrofula make the operation safety.
