    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The purpose of the study was to preoperatively investigate small laryngeal carcinomas using multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) and subsequent multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) and to compare the results to the detailed spread found at surgery and histology. Nine patients with small (T1, T2) laryngeal cancer were investigated on a MSCT scanner (Siemens plus 4 Volume Zoom, Siemens). A 4×1 mm collimation, 120 kV, 200 mAs and a 0.5 seconds rotation time were used, allowing a coverage of the entire larynx in approximately 10 seconds within a single breathhold. Multiplanar reconstruction’s (MPR) in sagittal and coronal plane were reconstructed in all patients and rated in consensus reading. In 8 of nine patients, the glottic spread was detected by MSCT, in one cause of a supraglottic tumor a glottic invasion was excluded. The infiltration of the anterior commissure, the infiltration into the subglottic space and the extension into the hypopharynx was correctly assessed in all patients. MSCT was not able to predict infiltration of the arythnoids in two patients. The use of multi-slice spiral CT for the preoperative assessment of small laryngeal tumors shows great promise. The detection or exclusion of subtle spread of these tumors into the supra- or subglottic space and along the glottic level was possible with high accuracy. As the examination time is short, artifacts are rare and multiplanar reconstructions gain in clinical importance.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Zielsetzung war, kleine Larynxkarzinome mit der Mehrschicht-Spiral-CT (MSCT) und nachfolgenden multiplanaren Rekonstruktionen (MPR) präoperativ zu untersuchen. 9 Patienten mit histologisch gesichertem Larynxkarzinom der Stadien T1 und T2 wurden untersucht. Alle Untersuchungen wurden an einem Mehrschicht-Spiral-CT (Somatom Plus 4 Volume Zoom, Siemens, Forchheim) durchgeführt. Die Abtastung erfolgte mit 4×1 mm Kollimation, 120 kV, 200 mAs bei einer Rotationszeit der Röhre von 0,5 s. Die Beurteilung einer Infiltration erfolgte durch die Bewertung aller drei Ebenen. Das glottische Wachstum entlang der Stimmlippen konnte in 8 von 9 Patienten richtig-positiv nachgewiesen werden. In einem Fall eines supraglottischen Tumors konnte eine glottische Infiltration ausgeschlossen werden. Die Infiltration der vorderen Kommissur, die Infiltration in den subglottischen Raum und die Ausdehnung in den Hypopharynx konnte ebenfalls sicher nachgewiesen bzw. ausgeschlossen werden. Die Infiltration der Aryknorpel konnte in 7 von 9 Fällen korrekt durch die MSCT vorhergesagt werden. Der Einsatz der Mehrschicht-Spiral-CT bei kleinen Larynxkarzinomen zeigt eine hohe Genauigkeit zum Nachweis bzw. zum Ausschluß von Infiltrationen sowohl in der glottischen Ebene, wie auch in den supra- oder subglottischen Raum. Bedingt durch die kurze Untersuchungszeit sind Bewegungsartefakte selten. Multiplanare Rekonstruktionen (MPR) sind klinisch sehr wertvoll.

    Notes: Abstract: Production cross-sections of charged pions, kaons and antikaons have been measured in C+C and C+Au collisions at beam energies of 1.0 and 1.8 AGeV for different polar emission angles. The kaon and antikaon energy spectra can be described by Boltzmann distributions whereas the pion spectra exhibit an additional enhancement at low energies. The pion multiplicity per participating nucleon M(π+)/〈A part〉 is a factor of about 3 smaller in C+Au than in C+C collisions at 1.0 AGeV whereas it differs only little for the C and the Au target at a beam energy of 1.8 AGeV. The K+ multiplicities per participating nucleon M(K+)/ 〈A part〉 are independent of the target size at 1 AGeV and at 1.8 AGeV. The K- multiplicity per participating nucleon M(K-)/ 〈A part〉 is reduced by a factor of about 2 in C+Au as compared to C+C collisions at 1.8 AGeV. This effect might be caused by the absorption of antikaons in the heavy target nucleus. Transport model calculations underestimate the K-/K+ ratio for C+C collisions at 1.8 AGeV by a factor of about 4 if in-medium modifications of K-mesons are neglected.
