Abstract
OBJECTIVES:To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D TV-US) for evaluation of parametrial status in locally advanced cervical cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), using histology as the gold standard. METHODS:Consecutive patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer were staged according to FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) criteria. All IB2-IIIB FIGO stage patients were examined by 2D and 3D TV-US and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the diagnosis time (T0) and after NACT. At T0, the US evaluation of parametrial involvement was compared to MRI before treatment. The results of US and MRI examinations of parametrial status after NACT were compared with the histological specimen. RESULTS:We enroled 51 consecutive patients in the study. Before chemotherapy, clinical examination under anaesthesia identified parametrial involvement in 48 patients, ultrasonography in 46 patients, and MRI in 49 patients. The agreement between US and MRI was 94%. The sensitivity of US for parametrial status was 93.8%, with a positive predictive value of 97.8%, using MRI as the standard. The correlation between US and MRI was statistically significant (p = 0). After chemotherapy, histological examination of surgical specimens identified parametrial involvement in 3 patients. Ultrasonography correctly identified those cases with parametrial infiltration, recording a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 90.9%, positive predictive value of 50%, and negative predictive value of 100%. The MRI had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 45.5%, positive predictive value of 14.3%, and negative predictive value of 100%, respectively. The concordance in the identification of the presence/absence of infiltration between US and MRI with histology was 90% (p = 0.001) and 61%, respectively, after chemotherapy treatment. Particularly, in defining the degree of infiltration, the agreement between US and MRI with histology was 90 and 58%, respectively. CONCLUSION:In locally advanced cervical cancer patients, 2D/3D TV-US can be considered accurate in the evaluation of parametrial infiltration to assess the response to NACT. It could be included as a diagnostic method in the preoperative work-up of cervical cancer.
摘要
目的: 以组织学为金标准,分析二维 (2D) 和三维经阴道超声 (3D TV-US) 评价局部晚期宫颈癌新辅助化疗 (NACT) 后宫旁状态的诊断准确性。 方法: 根据FIGO (国际妇产科联合会) 标准对连续的经组织学证实的宫颈癌患者进行分期。在诊断时间 (T0) 和NACT后,对所有IB2-IIIB例FIGO分期患者进行2D和3D TV-US和磁共振成像 (MRI) 检查。在T0时,将对宫旁受累的US评估与治疗前的MRI进行比较。将NACT术后宫旁状态的US和MRI检查结果与组织学标本进行比较。 结果: 我们在研究中纳入了51例连续患者。化疗前,麻醉下的临床检查确定了48例患者的宫旁受累,46例患者的超声检查和49例患者的MRI检查。我们和MRI之间的协议是94%。以MRI为标准,US对宫旁状态的敏感性为93.8%,阳性预测值为97.8%。US与MRI之间的相干性有统计学意义 (p = 0。化疗后,手术标本的组织学检查确定了3例患者的宫旁受累。超声检查正确识别了宫旁浸润的病例,记录了100% 的灵敏度,90.9% 的特异性,50% 的阳性预测值和100% 的阴性预测值。MRI的敏感性为100%,特异性为45.5%,阳性预测值为14.3%,阴性预测值为100%。化疗后,US和MRI与组织学之间存在/不存在浸润的一致性分别为90% (p = 0.001) 和61%。特别地,在定义浸润程度时,US和MRI与组织学之间的一致性分别为90和58%。 结论: 在局部晚期宫颈癌患者中,2D/3D TV-US可以被认为是评估宫旁浸润以评估对NACT反应的准确方法。可作为宫颈癌术前检查的一种诊断方法。

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.
