    Notes: Abstract. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of stereolithography vs workstation-based three-dimensional (3D) reformations in intra-articular calcaneal fractures. A total of 30 intra-articular calcaneal fractures were examined using standard radiographs, coronal CT scans, and 2D and 3D reformations. The CT data were transferred to an outside institution, and stereolithograms were produced from photopolymer resin employing a laser beam system. 3D reformations and stereolithograms were analyzed in a blinded fashion by two staff radiologists. Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curves were obtained for six clinically significant fracture components. Standard radiographs, coronal CT scans, and 2D reformations served as the standard of reference. The area under the ROC curves for 3D reformations and stereolithograms were 1.0 and 0.98 for abnormal tuber angles, 0.91 and 0.91 for anterior and middle talo-calcaneal joint involvement, 0.90 and 0.95 for involvement of the posterior talo-calcaneal joint, 0.65 and 0.78 for the presence of a lateral bulge, 0.80 and 0.81 for the involvement of the calcaneocuboidal joint, and 0.62 and 0.67 for the presence of a “tongue-type” fracture. No statistically significant difference was demonstrated for the two methods (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, p = 0.138). Based on our results stereolithograms did not prove to be statistically superior to workstation-based 3D reformations. Stereolithograms may still be useful for teaching purposes and for surgical planning at a thinking-efficacy level.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Introduction and Methods: A 0.5 T open-configuration MR system allows free access to the patient via a 58-cm-wide opening on both sides of the machine. A newly developed system for needle guidance enables the examiner to perform biopsies in combination with real-time imaging and to position laser fibers in the human body. For imaging, a 2D gradient echo sequence is used (TR 19 ms, TE 9 ms, flip angle 30 °, FOV 24 × 24 cm, slice thickness 10 mm matrix 256 × 128). The acquired images are displayed on two LCD screens localized within the MR system, thus allowing an interactive needle guidance. This procedure is illustrated by a case report. Discussion: The handling of the system for needle guidance was simple, mainly due to a real-time adaption of the scan plane to the needle direction. The possibility of multi-angulated approaches makes biopsies of hardly accessible anatomic regions feasible. Conclusion: We think that MR-guided needle positioning will play an important role in combination with thermosensitive therapies. Thermosensitivity of MR imaging allows extensive monitoring of such interventions.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ein offenes, interventionelles MR-Gerät (0,5 Tesla) erlaubt durch eine 58 cm breite Öffnung den Zugang zum im Gerät liegenden Patienten. Ein spezielles Punktionssystem ermöglicht es, unter Echtzeitbildgebung Punktionen vorzunehmen sowie auch Laserfasern im menschlichen Körper zu plazieren. Zur Bildgebung wird eine 2d-Gradientenechosequenz verwendet (TR 19 ms, TE 9 ms, Flipwinkel 30 °, FOV 24 × 24 cm, Schichtdicke 10 mm, Matrix 256 × 128). Die akquirierten Bilder werden dem punktierenden Radiologen auf 2 im Gerät angebrachten LCD-Monitoren angezeigt, wodurch eine interaktive Nadelführung ermöglicht wird. Es wurden bereits zahlreiche Punktionen an Patienten durchgeführt. Wichtig wird die MR-gesteuerte Punktion von Läsionen in Kombination mit der Durchführung thermosensitiver Therapien. Die der MR-Bildgebung inhärente Temperatursensitivität ermöglicht ein umfassendes Monitoring solcher Eingriffe in Echtzeit.
