    Notes: Abstract  Objective. The present study demonstrates the osseous and soft tissue manifestations of alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Patients. We report on eight patients with AE with bone or soft tissue involvement confirmed at biopsy or needle cytology. Results. All eight patients showed hepatic involvement. Four exhibited infiltration of the spine as a result of direct spread of the hepatic primary lesion; distant metastases were observed in only three of these patients. Calcifications, which are typical for hepatic manifestations of the disease, were observed in soft tissue in only two of eight cases (25%); we observed no instances of endovesicular daughter cysts. Conclusion. AE manifests itself in the vertebral column as a form of spondylitis and in soft tissue presents similar to an abscess. Since in most of these cases spread of the disease per continuitatem from the liver is present, the diagnosis is easily made from the characteristic hepatic findings.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. Correct placement of tunnels for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is of prime importance for the clinical outcome of the patient. In this study, the possibility of using MRI to document tunnel placement and provide a more comprehensive report following ACL reconstruction was explored at no additional cost in patients scheduled for routine knee MRI. Design and patients. One year after ACL reconstruction, 45 patients underwent clinical examination (IKCD score), radiographic examination, and MRI using a 1.5-T unit. Results. Twenty patients with good tibial and femoral attachment results were found at clinical examination to have a stable knee joint with a full range of motion. In 25 patients with suboptimal placements, examination showed either a stable knee with a decreased range of motion or instability with a normal range of motion. Conclusion. Patients’ clinical outcome, and the radiographic and MRI findings, correlated closely with the quality of operative tunnel placement. A record of this finding is important for completeness of the radiological report. Furthermore the MRI findings can be used to improve the surgical quality of tunnel placement. Because tunnel placement can be shown adequately with radiography, however, MRI cannot be justified for this reason alone, so such assessment is advised only when MRI is needed to show all postoperative features.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. Transposition of the pisiform bone is an operative treatment for lunatomalacia. The postoperative viability of the transposed pisiform bone is difficult to assess. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the utility of MRI for postoperative assessment of viability of the pisiform and lunate bones. Design and patients. Six patients who underwent transposition of the pisiform for treatment of lunatomalacia, were assessed pre- and postoperatively with conventional radiographs (including tomography), CT and MRI. Results. Conventional radiographs, conventional tomograms and CT were all useful in demonstrating the location of the transposed pisiform. CT showed the transposed pisiform without superposition. However, neither CT nor conventional techniques provided information regarding viability of the pisiform. In all patients investigated in the first year following surgery, T1-weighted MR images showed high signal intensity in the transposed bones. In all patients investigated after 1 year, the signal intensity decreased to an intermediate level on T1-weighted images. Enhancement following contrast medium administration in the transposed pisiform and the lunate was noted in all patients, indicative of viability. Conclusion. Contrast-enhanced MRI is able to provide important information regarding the viability of the transposed pisiform and the remaining parts of the lunate. Thus, contrast-enhanced MRI provides an improved means of postoperative assessment regarding short-term follow-up following pisiform transposition. In the long-term follow-up conventional radiography and CT may be equal to MRI in showing increasing sclerosis and/or fragmentation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary This pilot study investigated the feasibility and clinical value of high-resolution virtual real-time laryngoscopy based on helical CT data sets. Nine patients with laryngeal pathology (three with tumors of the vocal cords, two laryngeal carcinomas, one with invasion of the larynx by thyroid carcinoma and six subglottic stenoses) underwent examination by helical CT at a collimation of 1 mm. Following acquisition, the images were processed at a workstation with standard visualization software, such that virtual endoscopy (VE) in real time was possible. The images were then compared with the findings of conventional endoscopy. Because of swallowing artifacts, reconstruction failed in 2 of 12 patients. None of the carcinomas of the vocal cords was recognized at VE or in the cross-sectional CT images. VE provided the correct diagnosis in 8 of 12 cases (laryngeal tumors, subglottic stenoses). Virtual laryngoscopy is capable of simulating the visual findings of endoscopy in cases of laryngeal tumors and subglottic stenoses. Small tumors of the vocal cords are not adequately visualized. The major problem affecting results is motion artifacts resulting from involuntary swallowing.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird eine Pilotstudie zur Überprüfung der Machbarkeit und des klinischen Nutzens einer hochauflösenden virtuellen Echtzeitlaryngoskopie aus Spiral-CT-Datensätzen vorgestellt. 12 Patienten mit Erkrankungen im Kehlkopfbereich (3 Stimmlippentumore, 2 Larynxkarzinome, ein in den Larynx eingebrochenes Schilddrüsenkarzinom und 6 subglottische Stenosen) wurden mittels hochauflösender Spiral-CT (Kollimation 1 mm) untersucht. Anschließend wurden die Bilder auf einer Workstation mit einer standardmäßigen Visualisierungssoftware so rekonstruiert, daß eine virtuelle Endoskopie (VE) in Echtzeit möglich wurde, welche der herkömmlichen Fiberendoskopie gegenübergestellt wurde. 2 der 12 Patienten waren bedingt durch Schluckartefakte nicht zu rekonstruieren. Keines der Stimmlippenkarzinome war in der VE oder den Querschnittsbildern zu erkennen. In 8 von 12 Fällen war die VE diagnostisch (Larynxtumore, subglottische Stenosen). Die virtuelle Laryngoskopie in der hier beschriebenen Technik vermag Larynxtumoren und subglottische Stenosen, nicht aber kleine Stimmbandtumoren in einer dem Kliniker vertrauten endoskopischen Sichtweise darzustellen. Hauptproblem sind Bewegungsartefakte durch unwillkürliche Schluckbewegungen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Objective: Determination of the proportion of the dose-area product caused by fluoroscopy at voiding cystourethrography in children, using digital image intensifier technology. Patients and methods: Using computer-assisted dosimetry, we determined the dose-area product and the respective proportions of the dose-area product caused by fluoroscopy and radiography as well as the number of radiographs taken at a given examination of 40 children (8 children less than 2 years old, 15 children between 2 and 6 years old and 17 children between 6 and 15 years old). Results: The computer software program correctly differentiated between fluoroscopy and radiography in 80 % of cases. Incorrect results were primarily observed in newborns and young children. The total radiation dose ranged in relation to patient age from 22 to 651 cGy × cm2. Fluoroscopy was responsible for an average 78 % of the applied radiation dose. Conclusion: Computer-assisted dosimetry is useful in determining the proportion of the dose-area product caused by fluoroscopy in older children undergoing voiding cystourethrography. When image intensifier technology is used, this accounts for more than 75 % of the total radiation dose. The method is not suitable for use in small children.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ziel: Bestimmung des Anteils der Durchleuchtung am Gesamtflächendosisprodukt beim Kindermiktionszysturethrogramm in digitaler Bildverstärkertechnik. Material und Methode: Bei 40 Kindern (8 Kinder 〈 2 Jahre, 15 Kinder zwischen 2 und 6 Jahren und 17 Kinder zwischen 6 und 15 Jahren) wurden PC-gestützt die Anzahl der Zielaufnahmen, deren Anteil am Gesamtflächendosisprodukt sowie der durchleuchtungsbedingte Anteil am Gesamtflächendosisprodukt ermittelt. Ergebnisse: In 80 % der Fälle ermöglichte der Einsatz des Computerprogramms eine korrekte Differenzierung zwischen Fluoroskopie und Radiographie. Falsche Ergebnisse fanden sich hauptsächlich bei Neugeborenen und Kleinkindern. Die Gesamtstrahlenbelastung variierte abhängig vom Patientenalter zwischen 22 und 651 cGy × cm2, durchschnittlich betrug der Anteil der Durchleuchtung 78 %. Schlußfolgerung: PC-gestützt ist es möglich den Anteil der Durchleuchtung am Gesamtflächendosisprodukt bei älteren Kindern, die sich einem Miktionszysturethrogramm unterziehen, zu ermitteln. Dieser beträgt bei Verwendung der digitalen Bildverstärkertechnik mehr als 75 %. Bei Neugeborenen und Kleinkindern versagt die Methode.

    Notes: Abstract. Magnetic resonance mammography (MRM) provides data regarding the nature of tumours based on contrast medium dynamics; fibrocystic changes in the breast, however, may lead to false-positive results. This study investigated whether the contrast medium dynamics of fibrocystic changes are dependent on the menstrual cycle. Twenty-four patients with palpable lumps but normal mammographies and ultrasound studies were examined. The MRM technique was performed during the first and second part of the menstrual cycle using a FLASH 3D sequence, both native and at 1, 2, 3 and 8 min after intravenous application of 0.15 mmol/kg body weight of gadodiamide. The calculated time–intensity curves were evaluated based on the following criteria: early percentage of contrast medium uptake in relation to the native value; formation of a plateau phenomenon after the second minute; the point of maximal contrast medium uptake; and calculation of the contrast enhancing index. During the second half of the menstrual cycle, a generally greater contrast medium uptake was observed. Nevertheless, when further diagnostic criteria, such as continuous contrast medium increase as a function of time, were considered, there was no increased rate of false-positive findings. The phase of the menstrual cycle may affect the specificity of the examination, if only the quantitative contrast medium uptake and the percentage of contrast medium uptake in the first 2 min are considered. A control MRM during the other half of the cycle may then be indicated and additional diagnostic criteria may improve specificity.
