Summary Since the introduction of multislice CT scanners, angiography (CTA) has become a powerful tool for imaging vascular system. We compare conventional to CTA in diagnosis morphological changes abdominal aorta and its branches. A retrospective analysis 52 patients who underwent both (MSCTA) digital subtraction before surgical treatment is presented. All examinations were performed after administration 100 mL contrast medium with collimation 4 × 1 mm pitch 7. standardized evaluation...
The accuracy of stereoscopic and standard three-dimensional (3D) CT in the classification acetabular fractures was compared. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis performed by two radiologists surgeons blinded to presence an animal model (a total 62 porcine hips, 40 with artificial fractures). Classification adopted from literature. Interpretation on a workstation using specific volume rendering algorithms; unshaded shaded bone. ROC did not demonstrate any benefit 3D compared CT.
The advantages of multiplanar reconstruction in rectal cancer recurrence diagnostics using medium resolution multi-detector CT are evaluated. We included 40 patients after a operation this study. During follow-up ten developed recurrence. All received minimum two CT-examinations their program. A total 131 CT-scans were Each examination was reviewed by experienced radiologists respect to presented axial with slice thickness 8mm an increment 7 mm and 3 2 mm. thin slices used for the...
Purpose The aim of the presented study was to investigate if distribution drug-contrast medium mixture in CT-guided periradicular therapy can predict intervention success. Materials and Methods Over a 15-month period, 97 patients admitted our institution by pain physician for CT guided were treated. In 420 interventions, we measured relative drug relationship neuroforamen. correlated patient’s score over time. addition, dependence success treatment with regards treating evaluated. Results...
Abstract Background Back pain is a common problem and burden for the patient. MR-morphologically proven pain-causing changes of spine often successfully treated utilizing CT-guided therapy. The execution enables controlled reproducible Nevertheless, treatment results can differ even with same patient; physician possible influencing factor outcome. Accordingly, present study analyzes different behaviors forms communication treating physicians during course intervention as factors outcome...
Evaluation of different parameters contrast media enhancement for the differentiation between scar tissue and local recurrence rectal cancer.We included 83 patients after operation radiotherapy cancer. In total, 20 recurrences were diagnosed. After administration 75 ml Iopromide (370 mg/ml) a delay 65 s, whole abdomen pelvis scanned in collimation 4 x 2.5 mm 12.5 table feed per rotation. The suspected was marked by freehand ROI option every slice minimum, average maximum densities...
The objective of the present study was to determine detectability metabolic alterations in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) using proton MR spectroscopy (hydrogen-1 spectroscopy).Twenty-seven people were included this study: 10 PAOD and a pain-free walking distance less than 200 m served as patient group 17 young healthy subjects control group. Hydrogen-1 performed on 1.5-T scanner an extremity coil point-resolved (PRESS) sequence (TR/TE, 1,500/30; 256 repetitions)....
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Unter der Vorstellung, dass ein gewisses Maß an Degeneration im Alter normal ist, sollten die Veränderungen erkannt werden, signifikant zu Beschwerden führen. Es sollte sichergestellt geriatrische Patient adäquat behandelt wird und schnell wieder in sein normales, schmerzfreies Leben zurückfinden kann. Methodik Durchgeführt wurde eine prospektive Untersuchung symptomatischen Patienten, einer MR-Untersuchung Wirbelsäule kamen. wurden das Vorliegen...
SUMMARY To determine the diagnostic impact of daily bedside chest radiography in comparison with digital luminescence technique (DLR; storage phosphor radiography) and conventional film screen radiography, a prospective randomized study was completed 210 mechanically ventilated patients total 420 analysed radiographs. The were allocated to two groups: 150 underwent DLR, 60 radiography. Radiological analysis performed consensually therapeutic efficacy assessed by clinicians. There no...
Back pain is common and leads the patient to radiologist both for diagnosis in specific cases therapy.The current study compares pain-reducing effect of microinvasive computed tomography (CT)-guided therapy back caused by herniated discs or spondylarthrosis.Over a period 3.3 years, total 239 patients were included, whom 686 CT-guided periradicular therapies (PRT) 264 facet joint (FAC) performed. In all patients, score was determined using visual analog scale (VAS) before intervention, during...
Einleitung: Patienten mit Multipler Sklerose (MS) beklagen häufig Fatigue und Schläfrigkeit. Therapieansätze Modafinil zeigen variable Erfolge. Die zur Quantifizierung der Behinderung gebräuchliche Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) berücksichtigt weder kognitive Defizite noch Fatigue. Der MS Functional Composite (MSFC) schließt neben Arm-, Beinfunktion auch Leistungen ein. Mit präsentierten Studie sollte Verlauf o.g. Symptome unter AVONEX® untersucht werden.
Einleitung: Das Ziel der Studie war den prospektiven Verlauf von Patienten mit schubförmiger Multiplen Sklerose (RRMS) unter 48-monatiger Therapie intramuskulärem Interferon-ß 1a (INF-ß 1a; Avonex®) darzustellen. In klinischen Untersuchung wurde die Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) zur Quantifizierung Behinderung benutzt. Kognitive Defizite werden dabei jedoch nicht berücksichtigt. Des Weiteren wurden in jährlichen Abständen MS Functional Composite (MSFC) Wert überprüft, welcher neben...
