Abstract
BACKGROUND:Discriminating a junctional dilatation from a true saccular aneurysm is clinically important. PURPOSE:To evaluate the usefulness of high-resolution three-dimensional proton density-weighted turbo spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging (PD MRI) in distinguishing a junctional dilatation from an aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery (PcomA). METHODS:Eighty-two consecutive patients with 83 PcomA lesions, which were evaluated by time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA), PD MRI, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), were enrolled. These radiologic data were retrospectively and independently reviewed by two neurosurgeons, and each diagnosis based on TOF MRA, PD MRI, and DSA was compared. The diagnostic efficacy (interobserver agreement, intermodality agreement, and diagnostic performance) of PD MRI was compared with that of TOF MRA. RESULTS:PD MRI showed higher AC1 (Gwet's agreement coefficient, PD MRI: 0.8942, 95% CI 0.8204 to 0.968; TOF MRA: 0.7185, 95% CI 0.5753 to 0.8617) and prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa coefficient (PABAK) (PD MRI: 0.8554, TOF MRA: 0.5904) than TOF MRA for interobserver agreement. For intermodality agreement, PD MRI also showed higher AC1 (PD MRI: 0.9069, 95% CI 0.8374 to 0.9764; TOF MRA: 0.7983, 95% CI 0.6969 to 0.8996) and PABAK (PD MRI: 0.8735, TOF MRA: 0.7289) than TOF MRA. The diagnostic performance of PD MRI was statistically superior to that of TOF MRA in sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. CONCLUSIONS:PD MRI could provide excellent diagnostic accuracy and better information in distinguishing a junctional dilatation from a true saccular aneurysm of the PcomA compared with TOF MRA.
摘要
背景: 区分交界性扩张与真正的囊状动脉瘤在临床上很重要。 目的: 评价高分辨率三维质子密度加权涡轮自旋回波磁共振成像 (PD MRI) 在区分交界性扩张和后交通动脉动脉瘤 (PcomA) 中的应用价值。 方法: 对82例83个PcomA病灶进行飞行时间 (TOF) MR血管造影 (MRA) 、PD MRI和数字减影血管造影 (DSA) 检查。由两位神经外科医生对这些影像学资料进行回顾性和独立审查,并对基于TOF MRA、PD MRI和DSA的每个诊断进行比较。比较PD MRI与TOF MRA的诊断效能 (观察者间一致性、模态间一致性和诊断效能)。 结果: PD MRI显示较高的AC1 (Gwet 's协议系数,PD MRI: 0.8942,95% CI 0.8204至0.968; TOF MRA: 0.7185,95% CI CI 0.5753至0.8617) 和患病率调整偏差调整的kappa系数 (PABAK) (PD MRI: 0.8554,TOF MRA: 0.5904) TOF MRA为观察者间协议。对于模态间一致性,PD MRI也显示出比TOF MRA更高的AC1 (PD MRI: 0.9069,95% ci ci 0.8374至0.9764; TOF MRA: 0.7983,95% CI 0.6969至0.8996) 和PABAK (PD MRI: 0.8735,TOF MRA: 0.7289)。PD MRI在敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值方面均优于TOF MRA。 结论: 与TOF MRA相比,PD MRI可以提供良好的诊断准确性和更好的信息来区分交界性扩张与真正的囊状动脉瘤。

METHODS:OBJECTIVES:The aim was to evaluate the image quality and sensitivity to artifacts of compressed sensing (CS) acceleration technique, applied to 3D or breath-hold sequences in different clinical applications from brain to knee. METHODS:CS with an acceleration from 30 to 60% and conventional MRI sequences were performed in 10 different applications in 107 patients, leading to 120 comparisons. Readers were blinded to the technique for quantitative (contrast-to-noise ratio or functional measurements for cardiac cine) and qualitative (image quality, artifacts, diagnostic findings, and preference) image analyses. RESULTS:No statistically significant difference in image quality or artifacts was found for each sequence except for the cardiac cine CS for one of both readers and for the wrist 3D proton density (PD)-weighted CS sequence which showed less motion artifacts due to the reduced acquisition time. The contrast-to-noise ratio was lower for the elbow CS sequence but not statistically different in all other applications. Diagnostic findings were similar between conventional and CS sequence for all the comparisons except for four cases where motion artifacts corrupted either the conventional or the CS sequence. CONCLUSIONS:The evaluated CS sequences are ready to be used in clinical daily practice except for the elbow application which requires a lower acceleration. The CS factor should be tuned for each organ and sequence to obtain good image quality. It leads to 30% to 60% acceleration in the applications evaluated in this study which has a significant impact on clinical workflow. KEY POINTS:• Clinical implementation of compressed sensing (CS) reduced scan times of at least 30% with only minor penalty in image quality and no change in diagnostic findings. • The CS acceleration factor has to be tuned separately for each organ and sequence to guarantee similar image quality than conventional acquisition. • At least 30% and up to 60% acceleration is feasible in specific sequences in clinical routine.
METHODS:BACKGROUND:The main surgical techniques for spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage include stereotactic aspiration, endoscopic aspiration, and craniotomy. However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effect of these techniques. OBJECTIVE:To explore the long-term outcomes of the three surgical techniques in the treatment of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage. METHODS:Five hundred and sixteen patients with spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage who received stereotactic aspiration, endoscopic aspiration, or craniotomy were reviewed retrospectively. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. RESULTS:For the entire cohort, the 6-month mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was significantly lower than that in the stereotactic aspiration group (odds ratio (OR) 4.280, 95% CI 2.186 to 8.380); the 6-month mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was lower than that in the craniotomy group, but the difference was not significant (OR=1.930, 95% CI 0.835 to 4.465). A further subgroup analysis was stratified by hematoma volume. The mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was significantly lower than in the stereotactic aspiration group in the medium (≥40-<80 mL) (OR=2.438, 95% CI 1.101 to 5.402) and large hematoma subgroup (≥80 mL) (OR=66.532, 95% CI 6.345 to 697.675). Compared with the endoscopic aspiration group, a trend towards increased mortality was observed in the large hematoma subgroup of the craniotomy group (OR=8.721, 95% CI 0.933 to 81.551). CONCLUSION:Endoscopic aspiration can decrease the 6-month mortality of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage, especially in patients with a hematoma volume ≥40 mL.
METHODS:OBJECTIVE:The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a three-dimensional (3D) software tool (smart planes) for displaying fetal brain planes, and the secondary purpose was to evaluate its accuracy in performing automatic measurements. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This prospective study included singleton fetuses with a gestational age (GA) greater than 18 weeks. Transabdominal two-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS) and 3D smart planes images were respectively used to obtain the basic planes of the fetal brain, with five parameters measured. The images, by either two-dimensional (2D) manual or 3D automatic operation, were reviewed by two experienced sonographers. The agreements between two measurements were analyzed. RESULTS:A total of 226 cases were included. The rates of successful detection by automatic display were as high as 80%. There was substantial agreement between the measurements of the biparietal diameter, head circumference and transcerebellar diameter, but poor agreement between the measurements of cisterna magna and lateral ventricle width. CONCLUSIONS:Smart Planes might be valuable for the rapid evaluation of fetal brain, because it simplifies the evaluation process. However, the technology requires improvement. In addition, this technology cannot replace the conventional manual US scans; it can only be used as an additional approach.
