    Notes: Abstract We report a young man with low back pain suspected to have a disc protrusion. Imaging suggested a tumour of the dorsal portion of the fifth lumbar vertebral body. Operation suggested a giant-cell tumour and subsequent histology showed an osteoblastoma. All typical imaging features of osteoblastoma are demonstrated in this rather uncommon location. Contrast-enhancing bone-marrow oedema on MRI, with mild enhancement of the tumour, together with the CT appearances were the clues to the diagnosis.

    Notes: Abstract We report a child who concurrently developed polycythaemia, dystonia, and T 1 shortening in the globus pallidus, medial cerebral peduncle and superior cerebellar peduncles on MRI. With spontaneous resolution of the polycythaemia after about 21/2 years, the dystonia and MRI abnormalities also resolved. Although the physiological cause of the T 1 shortening is not known, this appears to be another cause of T 1 shortening in the basal ganglia.

    Notes: Abstract Virchow-Robin spaces (VRS) are pia-lined extensions of the subarachnoid space which surround penetrating arteries as they enter the brain on its surface. Using high-resolution MRI, which shows small penetrating arteries, we studied a possible association of accentuated VRS in children with tension-type headache (TTH) or migraine. We studied 58 children aged 3–14 years (mean 10.8 years) with a clinical diagnosis of migraine (31) or TTH (27), who underwent cerebral MRI, and 30 headache-free patients of the same age (mean 10.2 years) and 30 adult migraineurs with postpubertal onset of symptoms, who served as controls. The images were reviewed for structural abnormalities in the regions of the small penetrating arteries. Accentuated VRS were found in 61 % of the children with migrainous headaches and in 22 % of children of those with TTH. Prominent VRS were seen in 27 % of the control children and in only 13 % of the adults. Small infarcts and gliosis were rare in children with or without headache, but were seen in 30 % of the adult migraineurs. Our findings show that accentuated VRS are significantly more common in children with migraine than in those with TTH or headache-free controls. Detection of accentuated VRS may therefore enhance differential diagnosis of primary headaches in children, contributing to an improvement in management.

    Notes: Abstract We prospectively studied 163 patients referred for MRI of the temporal bone. A presumed diagnosis was made using only one of three sequences: a single thick (12 mm) slice fast T2-sequence, 3D fourier transform constructive interference in steady state (3DFT-CISS) sequence and a gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted sequence. The visibility of the cochlea, vestibule and superior, lateral and posterior semicircular canals of normal temporal bones was assessed on the T2-weighted images: they were almost always visible (98–100 %), with exception of the superior semicircular canal, seen in only 35 % of cases. The images were interpreted as abnormal in 34 patients (21 %). Using only the fast T2-weighted, 3DFT-CISS and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted sequences a presumed false positive diagnosis was made in 5, 1 and 0 cases and a false negative diagnosis in 2, 2 and 4 cases respectively. The overall reliability of the thick-section fast T2-weighted images is limited. This study suggests that a combination of gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted and 3DFT-CISS images can be considered the gold standard for temporal bone MRI and neither sequence performed separately is as accurate as both together.

    Notes: Abstract We report a retrospective analysis of MRI in 206 patients with intractable seizures and describe the findings in bilateral mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) on fast spin-echo (FSE) and fast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (fFLAIR) sequences. Criteria for MTS were atrophy, signal change and loss of the digitations of the head of the hippocampus. In patients with bilateral MRI signs of MTS, correlation with clinical electro, volumetric MRI data and neuropsychological tests, when available, was performed. Bilateral MTS was observed in seven patients. Bilateral loss of the digitations and signal change on fFLAIR was seen in all seven. In three, bilateral atrophy was obvious. In two patients, mild bilateral atrophy was observed and in two others, the hippocampi were: asymmetrical, with obvious atrophy on only one side. Volumetric data confirmed bilateral symmetrical atrophy in five patients, and volumes were at the lowest of the normal range in the other two. The EEG showed temporal abnormalities in all patients, unilateral in five and bilateral in two. All patients had memory impairment and neuropsychological data confirmed visual and verbal memory deficits; two patients failed the Wada test on both sides. High-resolution T2-weighted FSE and fFLAIR sequences allow diagnosis of bilateral MTS, which has important therapeutic and prognostic implications.

We report a 57-year-old woman with genetically confirmed SCA6 who showed clinical features of olivopontocerebellar atrophy. Conventional T2-weighted and FLAIR MRI demonstrated high signal in the middle cerebellar peduncles, in addition to mild atrophy of the pons and cerebellum.

    Notes: Abstract We present the radiological features of a 42-year-old man with long-standing inactive ankylosing spondylitis (AS), demonstrating that arachnoiditis is a cause of a cauda equina syndrome (CES) in this disease. CT showed a dorsal arachnoid diverticulum causing scalloped erosion of the laminae, and punctate and curvilinear dural calcification. MRI revealed adhesion and convergence of the cauda equina dorsally into the arachnoid pouch, causing the dural sac to appear empty canal. To the best of our knowledge, dural calcification on CT is a new finding in AS, which may be related to the CES. Our findings support the hypothesis that chronic adhesive arachnoiditis with subsequent loss of meningeal elasticity may be the main cause of CES in AS.

    Notes: Abstract Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae are extremely rare in spinal dysraphism. A fistulous malformation within a lipomyelomeningocele has not been reported previously. A 50-year-old man presented with progressive paraparesis and bladder dysfunction. MRI revealed a large lumbar lipomyelomeningocele. A vascular malformation was indicated by abnormal signal in the thoracolumbar spinal cord and dilated perimedullary veins. Phase-contrast MRA demonstrated only the slow-flow veins of the fistula and an intradural ascending vein. Contrast-enhanced ultra-fast MRA gave excellent delineation of all parts of the fistula within the dysraphic lesion.

    Notes: Abstract The neurological condition triggered by anaesthesia with nitrous oxide involves the cyanocobalamine pathway and is characterised by progressive demyelination and axonal lesions of the peripheral nerves and cervicothoracic spinal cord (posterior and anterolateral columns) giving a peripheral neuropathy and very frequently subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. It is possible to show these demyelinating lesions by MRI of the spine, allowing early diagnosis and follow-up. We describe a case of myeloneuropathy with onset a few hours after nitrous oxide anaesthesia in a patient with macrocytic anaemia and possible subclinical vitamin B12 deficiency and MRI evidence of a lesion of the cervical spinal cord. Neurological and haematological improvement followed cyanocobalamine replacement.

    Notes: Abstract We report three patients with a sequestrated disc fragment posterior to the thecal sac. The affected disc was lumbar in two cases and thoracic in the third. Disc fragment migration is usually limited to the anterior extra dural space. Migration of a disc fragment behind the dural sac is seldom encountered. MRI appears to be the method of choice to make this diagnosis. The disc fragments gave low signal on T1- and slightly high signal on T2-weighted images and showed rim contrast enhancement. The differential diagnosis includes abscess, metastatic tumour and haematoma.

    Notes: Abstract  The last century has seen the evolution of neuroimaging from nonexistent to a group of techniques that, in our eyes, appears to be highly sophisticated. The rapidity of advancement in imaging has been concentrated in the last quarter century. There is no reason to expect this continual forward expansion of neuroradiology to abate; rather it seems likely that it will continue to increase at an even faster rate. The near future is one of refinement in imaging, faster and higher resolution as well as a much greater emphasis on physiology and biochemistry.

    Notes: Abstract Intracranial meningiomas in children are rare, representing 1–4.2% of central nervous system tumors and 1.5–1.8% of all intracranial meningiomas. Meningiomas arising from the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus account for less than 1% of all intracranial meningiomas. To our knowledge, only one case of a meningioma arising from the cavernous sinus has been reported in childhood. A 6-year-old boy presented with left ophthalmoplegia. A slight drooping of the left eyelid was noted at the age of 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast administration revealed an enhancing mass lesion located in the left cavernous sinus. The tumor, arising from the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus, was totally removed and the oculomotor nerve was reconstructed with a sural nerve graft. MRI displayed total tumor removal 1 month after the surgery. The pathological diagnosis was of a psammomatous meningioma.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary For the ussage as blood substitutes perfluorocarbons (PFC) have been developed as artificial oxygen carriers. In addition they may have potency for protective use in ischemic tissue. Formulation improvement achieved higher oxygen carrying capacity and better compatibility than the first generation of PFC. Preclinical studies have been performed in animal heart and brain. Former and progressed emulsification for intravascular use have been investigated for infarction and reperfusion injury. This investigations are reviewed and the potencies for the use of PFC in neurology, neurosurgery, diagnostics today and in the future are emphasized.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Perfluorcarbone (PFC) sind künstliche Sauerstoffträger, die ursprünglich als Blutersatzstoffe entwickelt wurden. Auf Grund ihrer spezifischen Eigenschaften ist darüber hinaus ihr Einsatz bei ischämischen Perfusionsstörungen von potentiellen Nutzen. Neuere Perfluorcarbonpräparationen verfügen über eine höhere Sauerstofftransportkapazität und sind mit weniger Nebenwirkungen behaftet als die PFC der ersten Generation. Ältere und neuere PFC-Emulsionen, die für die intravaskuläre Applikation geeignet sind, wurden und werden im Tierversuch für den Einsatz in ischämischen Gebieten des Herzens und des Gehirns untersucht. In dieser Arbeit werden präklinische Studien bei Infarkten und Reperfusionsschaden beschrieben und potentielle Nutzungsmöglichkeiten dieser Substanzgruppe für diese Indikationsstellung diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In four patients presenting with acute nontraumatic intracerebral or intraspinal hemorrhage, T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI showed numerous residual hemosiderin deposits due to old intracerebral hemorrhages that were missed on initial CT and spin-echo MRI. The demonstration of additional chronic bleedings and their anatomical distribution provided important diagnostic information. In a hypertensive patient, the hemosiderin deposits were most pronounced within deep brain structures suggesting hypertensive cerebral microangiopathy. In a second patient, the cortico-subcortical distribution of the hemorrhages was typical of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. In a third patient, the diffuse distribution including spinal bleeding, the marked calcification, and the characteristic appearance on spin-echo MRI were consistent with multiple cavernomas. In another patient with cerebral and spinal hemorrhage, T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI revealed new subclinical hemorrhages during follow-up. Based on these findings, we recommend that T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI of the brain should be performed in all patients with acute intracranial and spinal bleedings.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 4 Patienten mit akuten intrazerebralen oder intramedullären Blutungen konnte die T2*-gewichtete Gradienten-Echo-Magnetresonanztomographie (“Häm”-Sequenz) multiple intrakranielle Hämosiderinablagerungen als Beleg für in der Vergangenheit abgelaufene Hirnblutungen nachweisen. Diese klinisch stummen Blutungen waren sowohl der Computertomographie als auch der Spin-Echo-Magnetresonanztomographie entgangen. Bei 3 Patienten ermöglichte das Verteilungsmuster der als Signalauslöschungen dargestellten Hämosiderinablagerungen eine bessere Eingrenzung der Blutungsursache. Bei einem Patienten mit arterieller Hypertonie legten die vorwiegend in den tieferen Hirnstrukturen lokalisierten Blutungen eine hypertensive zerebrale Mikroangiopathie nahe. Bei einem Patienten mit rezidivierenden Lobärhämatomen sprach die kortikosubkortikale Lokalisation der Blutungen für das Vorliegen einer zerebralen Amyloidangiopathie. Bei einer Patientin mit spinaler Blutung stellten wir aufgrund des diffusen Verteilungsmusters, der starken Verkalkungstendenz und des heterogenen Signalverhaltens der Blutungsherde in der Spin-Echo-Magnetresonanztomographie die Diagnose multipler zerebrospinaler Kavernome. Bei einem Patienten mit zerebralen und spinalen Blutungen erlaubte die “Häm”-Sequenz keine diagnostische Einordnung, erwies sich aber als sensitives Instrument in der Verlaufskontrolle. Bei allen Patienten mit spontaner intrazerebraler oder intraspinaler Blutung sollte im Rahmen der bildgebenden Diagnostik eine “Häm”-Sequenz durchgeführt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Hemangiomas of the skull base are rare neoplasms and are easily misdiagnosed as acoustic neuromas when occurring in the internal auditory canal. Among these tumors, ossifying hemangiomas are characterized histologically be newly formed bone tissue within their substance. We describe a 26-year old female patient who presented with left-sided sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a bright space-occupying lesion of the internal auditory canal with extension to the geniculate ganglion. Bony erosions of the internal auditory canal were proved by high-resolution computed tomography. A hemangioma was suspected preoperatively and was resected via a middle cranial fossa approach. Histologically, new bone formations were found in a cavernous hemangioma. In general, radiologic findings can suggest a hemangioma of the internal auditory canal and help to differentiate it from acoustic neuroma. Based on the histological findings of intratumoral bone formation, the hemangioma in our patient was classified as an ossifying hemangioma. However, reactive bone formation at the borders of a tumor in the internal auditory canal can also be mistaken as new intratumoral bone formation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hämangiome der Schädelbasis sind insgesamt seltene Tumoren, die im Bereich des inneren Gehörgangs insbesondere mit dem wesentlich häufigeren Akustikusneurinom verwechselt werden können. Das ossifizierende Hämangiom repräsentiert eine Sonderform in der Gruppe der Hämangiome und ist histopathologisch durch intratumorale Knochenneubildungen gekennzeichnet. Es wird von einem kavernösen Hämangiom des linken inneren Gehörgangs bei einer 26jährigen Patientin berichtet, welches zu einer progredienten sensorineuralen Hörminderung und Tinnitus geführt hatte. Bei T2-gewichteter kernspintomographischer Darstellung einer signalreichen Neubildung im inneren Gehörgang mit computertomographisch evidenten Knochendestruktionen am Gehörgangsboden war präoperativ die Abgrenzung von einem Akustikusneurinom möglich. Über einen transtemporalen Zugang konnte die vaskuläre Neubildung reseziert werden. Histopathologisch waren Knochenneubildungen in einem kavernösen Hämangiom zu erkennen. Die radiologischen Befunde ermöglichen präoperativ die Abgrenzung eines Hämangioms vom Akustikusneurinom. Aufgrund des Nachweises von Knochenneubildungen in den histologischen Schnittpräparaten des Tumors ist die Einordnung des kavernösen Hämangioms als ossifizierendes Hämangiom naheliegend. Neben der Wertung der histologisch nachgewiesenen Knochenneubildungen als intratumorale Ereignisse muß auch an die Möglichkeit einer in den Schnittpräparaten vorgetäuschten intratumoralen Knochenneubildung durch den Anschnitt reaktiver Knochenneubildungen am destruierten Gehörgangboden gedacht werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Neurological involvement is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with sarcoidosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of patients with neurosarcoidosis. The MRI brain scans of 22 patients with sarcoidosis were retrospectively reviewed, along with the clinical information provided in the request form. All patients had signs and symptoms referable to the head and were examined with gadolinium enhancement. Cranial (facial) nerve paralysis was the most common clinical manifestation identified in 10 patients. A wide spectrum of MR findings was noted: periventricular and white matter lesions on T2 W spin echo images, mimicking multiple sclerosis (46%); multiple supratentorial and infratentorial brain lesions, mimicking metastases (36%); solitary intraaxial mass, mimicking high-grade astrocytoma (9%); solitary extraaxial mass, mimicking meningioma (5%); leptomeningeal enhancement (36%). The diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis is often difficult, particularly so in patients who lack either pulmonary or systemic manifestations of sarcoidosis. MRI shows a wide spectrum of brain abnormalities associated with neurosarcoidosis. These findings, however, are not specific for sarcoidosis and one must consider appropriate clinical circumstances in arriving at the correct diagnosis. In selected cases with isolated brain involvement, meningeal or cerebral biopsy may be required.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Klinische Untersuchungen an Patienten mit systemischer Sarkoidose sprechen in 5%, Autopsieberichte in 25% für eine Beteiligung des Zentralnervensystems. Ziel der Studie ist eine Beurteilung der Beitrags der Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) in der Diagnostik der Neurosarkoidose. Die MR-Tomogramme von 22 Patienten mit gesicherter Sarkoidose und neurologischer Symptomatik wurden retrospektiv ausgewertet. Häufigstes klinisches Symptom der Neurosarkoidose war eine Fazialisparese (10 Patienten). MR-tomographisch konnte eine Vielzahl verschiedener Befunde erhoben werden: periventrikuläre und Marklagerläsionen in T2-gewichteten Bildern in 46%, multiple bzw. miliare supratentorielle und infratentorielle Läsionen in 36%, solitäre intraaxiale Raumforderungen in 9%, solitäre extraaxiale Raumforderungen in 5% und meningeale Kontrastmittelanreicherung (nodulär oder diffus) in 36%. Schlußfolgerung: Die MR-tomographischen Befunde bei Neurosarkoidose sind oft wenig spezifisch. Die Diagnose wird meist bei gleichzeitigem Nachweis sarkoidosetypischer Granulome in anderen Organen gestellt, eine isolierte zerebrale Manifestation kann erhebliche diagnostische Schwierigkeiten bereiten. Die Neurosarkoidose sollte bei unklaren zerebralen Symptomen und Befunden stets in die Differentialdiagnose einbezogen werden, weil sie behandelbar ist.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Carcinoma of the colorectum is one of the most frequent neoplasias, with an incidence of 40 in 100 000. For the effective use of new, differentiated, less invasive treatment options, exact preoperative staging of the tumor is essential. The introduction of endosonography in rectal tumor staging allows for exact differentiation of the rectal wall layers and thus of tumor stages 1–3 with median accuracy of 89%. Magnetic resonance imaging of the rectum, especially in double-contrast technique, can also be employed in high and stenosing tumors and leads to an average accuracy of 85% for the stages 1–4. Computed tomography is the method of choice in screening for metastases. In lymph node staging, all modalities show only moderate accuracy around 75%.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das kolorektale Karzinom stellt mit einer Inzidenz von 40 auf 100000 eine der häufigsten Neoplasien dar. Für den effektiven Einsatz neuer differenzierter Therapien mit geringerer Invasivität ist ein exaktes präoperatives Staging erforderlich. Die Einführung der Endosonographie im Tumorstaging erlaubt eine exakte Differenzierung der Wandschichten und damit der Tumorstadien 1–3 mit einer mittleren Genauigkeit von 89%, die Magnetresonanztomographie des Rektums, insbesondere in Doppelkontrasttechnik, kann auch bei hohen und stenosierenden Tumoren angewendet werden, bei einer Genauigkeit von durchschnittlich 85% für die Stadien 1–4. Die Computertomographie ist Methode der Wahl im Metastasenscreening. Im Lymphknotenstaging zeigen alle Modalitäten nur bescheidene Genauigkeiten um 75%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Thoracoabdominal tumors in childhood can arise from all organs and affect children from the neonate to the adolescent. Better prognosis of childhood tumors, due to better biological understanding and improvement of chemotherapy, require sufficient radiological staging. Sufficiency in radiological staging needs modern cross-sectional techniques with high resolution, good availability and lower radiation dose. In general computed tomography (CT) is being used for radiological staging; increasingly MR imaging is being used because of multiplanar imaging techniques. Replacement of invasive techniques such as myelography and lymphography and modern cross-sectional techniques create painless staging conditions. Nevertheless, scintigraphy will always be a major examination technique, especially for evaluation of metastases and postoperative control examinations. The most common thoracoabdominal tumors in childhood and their staging are described.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Thorakale und abdominale Tumoren im Kindesalter nehmen ihren Ausgang von allen Organsystemen und können vom Neugeborenen bis zum Adoleszenten auftreten. Verbesserte Prognose, bedingt durch das bessere biologische Verständnis der Tumorerkrankung, sowie der effiziente Einsatz von Chemotherapeutika machen ein radiologisches Staging unumgänglich. Üblicherweise wird zum Staging die Computertomographie (CT) eingesetzt. Durch die Möglichkeit der multiplanaren Schnittführung und die bessere Auflösung bei Tumoren mit Beteiligung des ZNS wird in zunehmendem Maße die Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) eingesetzt. Diese modernsten Schnittbildverfahren haben invasive Methoden wie Lymphographie und Angiographie in den Hintergrund gedrängt. Im weiteren werden die häufigsten thorakalen und abdominalen Tumoren im Kindesalter besprochen und deren Stagingsysteme erläutert.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. The objective of this study was to illustrate the magnetic resonance (MR) image appearance of the structures of the posteromedial ”corner” of the knee with particular emphasis on the anatomy and differentiation between the medial collateral ligament and the posterior oblique ligament. Design. Six cadaveric knee specimens underwent MR imaging, before and following instillation of intra-articular contrast material. The knees were sectioned in the axial, coronal, and coronal oblique planes and the gross morphology of the posteromedial corner and surrounding structures was studied and correlated with the MR images. Patients. The human cadaveric specimens were from two female and four male patients (age at death, 72–86 years; average, 78 years). Results and conclusions. The contrast-enhanced sequences and the coronal oblique images allowed for improved visualization of the structures.

    Notes: Abstract  Three cases of granular cell tumor (GCT) of the subcutis are presented. Computed tomography showed a mass isodense with muscle with an ill-defined margin. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass with inhomogeneous low signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Another characteristic feature of subcutaneous GCT is its attachment in part to muscle. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.

    Notes: Abstract  The foot is an uncommon location for chondrosarcoma. The presentation, diagnosis, pathological findings, surgical treatment and follow-up of three patients with chondrosarcoma in this rare location are presented. Though nonspecific, MR imaging findings were of aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of these patients. If the diagnosis of this tumor is rapidly made, a tumor excision instead of limb amputation may be sufficient treatment at surgery.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Diseases of the hindfoot are associated with considerable functional impairment and therefore may hamper patients’ movements during gait considerably. Because of biomechanical overload, articular structures, tendons and ligaments are prone to early degenerative changes during the course of rheumatic diseases as visible with plain film radiography, sonography (US), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Findings may occur as arthritis of major joints or in the form of fibroostitis and bursitis of the os calcis. Despite the progressive course of rheumatic diseases and characteristic imaging findings, high variability of X-ray signs may occur. Plain film radiograms and high-resolution ultrasonography play a key role in imaging rheumatic diseases of the hindfoot. MRI supports imaging diagnosis in selected cases. The principal goals of diagnostic imaging are precise and reproducible documentation of morphologic abnormalities and differentiated analysis for planning proper conservative or surgical treatment.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Erkrankungen des Sprunggelenks und der Fußwurzel sind, da mit einer deutlichen Einschränkung der Beweglichkeit dieser Region einhergehend, für den Patienten meist sehr belastend. Bei rheumatischen Krankheitsbildern steht neben der Funktionseinschränkung vor allem in späteren Stadien die Destruktion biomechanisch stark beanspruchter Strukturen (hyaliner Knorpel, subchondraler Knochen, Bänder und Sehnen) im Vordergrund des klinischen wie auch des radiologischen Bildes. Grundsätzlich sind Arthritiden der großen Gelenke und die Calcaneopathia rheumatica zu beobachten. Trotz des meist stadienhaften Verlaufes mit charakteristischem Befallsmuster ist die bildgebende Diagnostik wegen der großen Formvariabilität der unterschiedlich ausgeprägten Veränderungen oft schwierig. Zusätzlich zu nativröntgenologischen Aufnahmen gehören die hochauflösende Sonographie, ergänzt durch die MRT, mit denen Gelenke und Sehnen direkt darstellbar sind, heute zur Standarddiagnostik. Ziel der Diagnostik ist einerseits die präzise reproduzierbare Dokumentation morphologischer Veränderungen zur Verlaufskontrolle, andererseits ihre möglichst differenzierte Analyse zur Einleitung adäquater konservativer oder operativer Therapiemaßnahmen, um Patienten zu einer aktiveren Lebensweise verhelfen zu können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The purpose of our study was to evaluate the characteristic findings of acute hemorrhage due to amyloid angiopathy with computed tomography. 14 patients of intracranial hemorrhage with histologically confirmed cerebral amyloid angiopathy were observed over a period of 4 years. Characteristic findings were a lobar hemorrhage in superficial localisation, cortical involvment, subarachnoid hemorrhage, the multiplicity of hemorrhages and repeated episodes. Severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy is often accompanied by multiple petechial hemorrhages, restricted to a cortical-subcortical distribution, detectable by magnetic resonance imaging. These findings suggest that cerebral amyloid angiopathy is not a rare cause of atraumatic lobar hemorrhage. Amyloid angiopathy should be considered in any elderly patient with superficial intracerebral hemorrhage in an atypical location.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der Arbeit werden die computertomographischen Befunde der intrazerebralen Blutung im Rahmen der Amyloidangiopathie untersucht. 14 Patienten mit Massenblutung und histologisch bestätigter Amyloidangiopathie wurden in einem Zeitraum von 4 Jahren beobachtet. Charakteristische Befunde waren eine lobäre, oberflächlich gelegene Blutung, eine kortikale Beteiligung, eine begleitende Subarachnoidalblutung sowie ein mehrfaches und mehrzeitiges Auftreten der Blutungen. Eine schwere Amyloidangiopathie geht oft mit multiplen petechialen Blutungen in kortiko-subkortikaler Lokalisation einher, die sich kernspintomographisch nachweisen lassen. Die Befunde zeigen, daß die Amyloidangiopathie keine seltene Ursache einer nicht traumatischen lobären Blutung ist. Sie sollte daher bei jedem älteren Patienten mit einer intrazerebralen, oberflächlich gelegenen Blutung in atypischer Lokalisation in Betracht gezogen werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Intracerebral hemorrhage is a common cause of acute neurological deterioration and a frequent indication for emergency neuroimaging. Stroke symptoms are caused in 10 to 15% by intracerebral hemorrhage. It is often not possible to differentiate intracerebral hemorrhage from cerebral ischemia by clinical examination. The therapeutic decision between thrombolysis or conservative therapy is comprised by the etiology. To exclude intracerebral hemorrhage as the cause of clinical symptoms, a CT is usually performed. Localisation and extension of the acute intracerebral hemorrhage are easy to detect. Subacute and chronic intracerebral hemorrhage are better delineated with magnetic resonance imaging. The different signal of the hemorrhage can be used for the age of the intracerebral hemorrhage. The cause of a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is in over 60% hypertony, less frequent alcoholism, malformation, or amyloid angiopathy. Uncommon causes of hemorrhage are head trauma, blood dyscrasia, tumor or venous thrombosis. Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage are most common in patients between 50 and 70 years. In younger patients a malformation should be excluded with a cerebral angiography. Intracerebral hemorrhages are usually conservatively treated, in some cases an operative decompression is performed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die intrazerebrale Blutung ist eine häufige Ursache akut auftretender neurologischer Symptome und führt oft zu einer notfallmäßigen neuroradiologischen Untersuchung. Etwa 15% der „Schlaganfälle” sind auf eine intrazerebrale Blutung zurückzuführen. Intrazerebrale Blutungen sind klinisch oft nicht von ischämischen Infarkten zu unterscheiden. Eine Computertomographie ist zur Zeit für die Diagnosesicherung – und damit auch zur weiterführenden Therapie – unerläßlich. Ausdehnung und Lokalisation der akuten intrazerebralen Blutung können damit schnell und sicher erfaßt werden. Subakute und chronische Blutungen sind dagegen verläßlicher mit der Magnetresonanztomographie nachweisbar. Aus der unterschiedlichen Signalgebung in den verschiedenen MR-Sequenzen kann auf das Alter der Blutung geschlossen werden. Die Ursache einer nicht-traumatischen intrazerebralen Blutung ist in über 60% der Fälle eine Hypertonie, weniger häufig die Folgen des Alkoholismus, Gefäßfehlbildungen oder die Amyloidangiopathie. Seltener sind Blutgerinnungsstörungen, Traumen, Tumoren, Venenthrombosen oder Intoxikationen die Ursachen einer intrazerebralen Blutung. Nicht-traumatische intrazerebrale Blutungen treten am häufigsten zwischen dem 5.–7. Lebensjahrzehnt auf. Bei jüngeren Patienten sind vor allem Gefäßfehlbildungen als Ursache zu berücksichtigen. Insbesondere bei jüngeren Patienten sollte zur ätiopathogentischen Klärung eine zerebrale Angiographie durchgeführt werden. Spontane intrazerebrale Blutungen werden in der Regel konservativ behandelt, außer man verspricht sich von der operativen Dekompression eine Verbesserung des klinischen Zustandes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary We review the signal characteristics of intracerebral hematomas (ICH) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with special emphasis on the diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage within the first hours after stroke. The detection of peracute ICH was evaluated in 42 patients of a prospective, MR randomized stroke trial. These patients underwent a protocol of T1 and T2 weighted sequences, diffusion weigthed sequences and MR – angiography within 6 hours after onset of acute hemiparesis. The signal behaviour of ICH in any stage after bleeding was additionally reviewed in a retrospective series of 63 patients, who were submitted for MRI over a 12 months period because of known ICH. MRI correctly identified 4 hyperacute ICH in the prospective group and 4 hyperacute ICH in the retrospective group. These ICHs had high signal on T2 weighted images, were isointense in T1 weighted images and had signal voids on the diffusion weighted sequences. The signal intensities of acute, subacute and chronic ICHs correlated to previous experiences as reported in the literature. In conclusion, MRI reliably identified all hematomas even in the hyperacute stage. Diffusion weighted images were most sensitive to the presence of deoxyhemoglobine and helpful for the differentiation and characterization of acute ischemia. Therefore, MRI at 1.5 T can be employed as an alternative to CT for the emergency diagnosis of acute stroke.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In dieser Übersicht wird das kernspintomographische (KST) Erscheinungsbild der intrazerebralen Blutung (IZB) anhand eigener Erfahrungen und der Literatur diskutiert. Besonderes Gewicht wurde auf den KST Nachweis der hyperakuten IZB innerhalb der ersten Stunden gelegt. Es wurden einerseits die Befunde von 42 Patienten einer prospektiven, KST randomisierten Schlaganfallstudie ausgewertet, bei denen die KST als Erstuntersuchung innerhalb von 6 Stunden durchgeführt worden war. Andererseits werteten wir retrospektiv jene KST Untersuchungen aus, die im Jahr 1998 unter der Fragestellung einer IZB (n=63) erfolgten. Die KST erwies sich als sensitiv im Nachweis auch der hyperakuten IZB. Es wurden weder falsch-negative noch falsch-positive Befunde erhoben. Die hyperakute IZB kommt in der T2-Gewichtung hyperintens und in der T1-Gewichtung isointens zur Darstellung. Auf den diffusionsgewichteten Sequenzen führen minimale Deoxyhämoglobinkonzentrationen bereits in dieser Phase zu Signalauslöschungen. Das Erscheinungsbild der akuten, subakuten und chronischen IZB entsprach dem, in der Literatur mitgeteilten, Signalverhalten. Zusammenfassend waren alle IZB, unabhängig vom Stadium in der KST nachweisbar. Die Diffusionsgewichtung war in der hyperakuten Blutungsdiagnose und deren Abgrenzung von der akuten Ischämie hilfreich. Zumindest bei 1,5T erscheint die KST somit für die Diagnostik des akuten Schlaganfalls geeignet und sollte, da Ischämien besser als mit der Computertomographie charakterisiert werden können, für die Akutdiagnostik verfügbar gemacht werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background and Purpose: Stroke symptoms are caused in 10 to 15% by intracerebral hemorrhage. From the clinical examination it is often impossible to differentiate intracerebral hemorrhage from cerebral ischemia. To exclude intracerebral hemorrhage as the cause of clinical symptoms a CT is usually performed. The aim of our study was a direct comparison of the sensitivity of Computed Tomography and MRI using different MR sequences for the detection of acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: In 8 male Wistar rats intracerebral hemorrhage was induced by infusion of collagenase into the caudate nucleus. After 1hour the brains were subsequently imaged with CT and MRI using T2- and T1-weighted Spin Echo sequences, diffusion-weighted sequences, T2*-weighted gradient echo sequences and FLAIR-sequences. Visibility of the intracerebral hemorrhage was examined using a scoring system from 1=not visible to 5=excellent visible. Finally, the intracerebral hemorrhage was verified by histological staining. Results: In all animals, intracerebral hemorrhage was visible in T2*-weighted gradient echo and diffusion weighted MR images 1 h after infusion of collagenase. T2- and PD-weighted SE images were positive in 7/8 rats. T1-weighted images revealed signal changes in 5/8 rats, and FLAIR sequence was positive in 8/8 rats. In CT intracerebral hemorrhage was only visible in 3/8 rats. When measuring the increase of Hounsfield units within the suspected hemisphere we saw a mean increase of 7% compared to the normal hemisphere in 3/8 rats. Conclusions: In this animal model, T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging proved to be the most sensitive imaging modality in the detection of acute intracerebral hemorrhage and is by far more sensitive than CT.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund und Ziel: Die Symptome eines Schlaganfalls sind in 10 bis 15% durch eine intrazerebrale Blutung verursacht. Oft ist es in der klinischen Untersuchung nicht möglich, zwischen einer intrazerebralen Blutung und einer zerebralen Ischämie zu differenzieren. Um eine intrazerebrale Blutung bei Schlaganfallsymptomatik auszuschließen, wird in der Regel zuerst eine Computertomographie (CT) durchgeführt. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist ein direkter Vergleich der Sensitivität der CT mit verschiedenen magnetresonanztomographischen (MR) Sequenzen in der Diagnostik der akuten intrazerebralen Blutung. Material und Methoden: Durch intrazerebrale Applikation von Kollagenase wurde bei 8 männlichen Wistar-Ratten eine intrazerebrale Blutung im linken Nucleus caudatus induziert. Nach einer Stunde wurden die Gehirne zunächst im CT und direkt anschließend in einem klinischen MR-Tomographen unter Verwendung von Protonendiche-, T2- und T1-gewichteten Spinechosequenzen, T2*-gewichten Gradientenechosequenzen, FLAIR-Sequenzen sowie diffusions- und perfusionsgewichteten Gradientenechosequenzen untersucht. Die Visibilität der Blutung wurde anhand einer Skala von 1 (=nicht sichtbar) bis 5 (=klar sichtbar) bewertet. Die Größe der Blutungsherde wurde für jede Untersuchungstechnik bestimmt und mit der Histologie verglichen. Ergebnisse: Bei allen Tieren konnte die Blutung in den T2*-gewichteten Gradientenecho-, FLAIR- sowie diffusionsgewichteten MRT-Bildern 1 h nach Kollagenaseinfusion erkannt werden. Auch in den T2- und Protonendichte-gewichteten Bildern konnte die Blutung bei 8/8 Ratten erkannt werden, wohingegen sie in den T1-gewichteten Aufnahmen nur bei 5/8 Ratten zu erkennen war. In der CT war die intrazerebrale Blutung nur bei 3/8 Ratten sichtbar, wobei bei diesen Tieren eine Zunahme der Dichte in Hounsfield-Einheiten (HE) in der Läsion um 15% auftrat. Schlußfolgerung: In dem verwendeten Tiermodell erwiesen sich T2*-und diffusionsgewichtete Aufnahmen sowie FLAIR-Sequenzen als sehr sensitive Methode in der Diagnostik der akuten intrazerebralen Blutung. Sie waren hierbei sensitiver als die CT. Deshalb sollte ein MR-tomographisches Untersuchungsprotokoll zur Diagnostik des akuten Schlaganfalls T2*- und diffusionsgewichtete Sequenzen beinhalten. Hierdurch gelingt eine rasche Unterscheidung zwischen der akuten intrazerebralen Blutung und der Frühphase der zerebralen Ischämie.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. To determine the postoperative appearance of the plantar fascia on MR imaging after a fasciotomy has been performed, and to compare the postsurgical appearance of the fascia after an open and endoscopic procedure.〈@head-abs-p1.lf〉Design and patients. Fifteen asymptomatic volunteers (12 women, 3 men; age range 22–49 years, mean age 33 years) with prior fasciotomies for treatment of longstanding plantar fasciitis were studied. Fourteen volunteers had a unilateral release and one volunteer had bilateral releases, allowing for assessment of 16 ankles. Eight fasciotomies were performed through an open incision and eight were performed endoscopically. The average time between surgery and imaging was 24 months (range 11–46 months). The site of surgery was established from the operative reports. Proton density (PD)-weighted and T2-weighted images in three orthogonal planes were obtained on a 1.5-T magnet. In eight studies, T1-weighted sagittal and STIR sagittal images were included. The fascia in each ankle was assessed for morphology and signal intensity. Perifascial soft tissues and bone marrow were assessed for edema. Preoperative MR studies were available in five volunteers.〈@head-abs-p1.lf〉Results. There was no apparent difference in the postoperative appearance of the ankle after an open or endoscopic procedure except for scar formation in the subcutaneous fat which was common after an open procedure (P〈0.05). Three ankles had a gap in the fascia (one open, two endoscopic). The plantar fascia measured a mean of 7.0 mm (range 5–10 mm) at the fasciotomy, and 8.3 mm (range 6–12 mm) at the enthesis. At the fasciotomy, 11 of 13 ankles had an indistinct deep contour and 9 of 13 had an indistinct superficial contour. At the enthesis, 13 of 16 ankles had an indistinct deep contour and 6 of 16 had an indistinct superficial contour. Compared with preoperative MR studies there was an average reduction in the fascial thickness at the enthesis of 14% (range 9–20%), but the thickness at the fasciotomy nearly doubled. No edema was evident in the fascia, perifascial tissues, deep plantar muscles, or calcaneal bone marrow.〈@head-abs-p1.lf〉Conclusions. The average thickness of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic volunteers after surgery is nearly 2–3 times that of normal. While there is increased thickness at the site of surgery, the changes in morphology and signal intensity were most prominent at the enthesis. The key observation was absence of edema in the fascia and perifascial soft tissues. This baseline information may be of value when assessing MR studies of symptomatic patients.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of allografts at various time intervals after surgery in patients with osteoarticular allografts. Design and patients. Sixteen patients who were treated with osteoarticular allografts and who were followed over time with MRI studies as part of their long-term follow-up were retrospectively selected for this study. T1-weighted images were obtained both before and after gadolinium administration along with T2-weighted images. All images were reviewed by an experienced musculoseletal radiologist, with two other experienced radiologists used for consultation. Imaging studies were organized into three groups for ease of discussion: early postoperative period (2 days to 2 months), intermediate postoperative period (3 months to 2 years), and late postoperative period (greater than 2 years). Results. In the early postoperative period, no gadolinium enhancement of the allograft was visible in any of the MR images. A linear, thin layer of periosteal and endosteal tissue enhancement along the margin of the allograft was visible in images obtained at 3–4 months. This enhancement apeared gradually to increase in images from later periods, and appears to have stabilized in the images obtained approximately 2–3 years after allograft placement. The endosteal enhancement diminished after several years, with examinations conducted between 6 and 8 years following surgery showing minimal endosteal enhancement. However, focal enhancement was noted adjacent to areas of pressure erosion or degenerative cysts. All the cases showed inhomogeneity in the marrow signal (scattered low signal foci on T1 with corresponding bright signal on T2), and a diffuse, inhomogeneous marrow enhancement later on. Conclusion. We have characterized the basic MRI features of osteoarticular allografts in 16 patients who underwent imaging studies at various time points as part of routine follow-up. We believe that the endosteal and periosteal enhancement observed on MRI during the first few months to 2 years following surgery represents vascular ingrowth and early skeletal repair. The zone of periosteal enhancement could also include the new bone laid on the surface of the allograft through which the soft tissues bind to the cortex. The exact reason for the inhomogeneity in the marrow signal, and the diffuse, inhomogeneous marrow enhancement is not clear. This may represent saponified and/or necrotic marrow fat interspersed with the fibrovascular tissue. The features noted here should provide radiologists with useful information regarding imaging characteristics they can expect to see in other allograft replacement patients.

    Notes: Abstract   Objective. To assess the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the investigation of palpable masses in the hand or wrist.〈@head-abs-p1.lf〉Design and patients. We retrospectively reviewed the MRI examinations and case records of 134 patients referred because of a palpable mass in the hand or wrist. MRI was performed on a 1.0 T magnet using an extremity coil. Intravenous gadolinium-DTPA was injected when considered appropriate.〈@head-abs-p1.lf〉Results and conclusions. MRI demonstrated the cause of the palpable mass in 126 cases (94.02%). Soft tissue neoplasms were found in 34 cases (25.37%). The majority were benign and included giant cell tumours of tendon sheath, lipomas and hemangiomas and had a characteristic appearance. There were three malignant tumours (myxoid liposarcoma, malignant fibroushistiocytoma and rhabdomyosarcoma). Ganglia were found in 36 cases (26.86%) and non-tumour tendon pathology in 31 cases (23.13%). Less common causes included articular diseases (5.97%) and anatomical variants (4.47%). No focal lesion was present in 8 cases (5.97%). In conclusion, MRI is an accurate diagnostic technique in patients who present with a palpable mass of the hand and wrist.

    Notes: Abstract Solitary brain affection is rare in echinococcosis. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman presenting with symptomatic grand-mal epilepsy due to a right frontal, partially cystic space-occupying lesion. Pre-operative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a cystic astrocytoma. However, histological examination yielded the diagnosis of a `chitinoma', a rare subtype of solid cerebral hydatid disease (echinococcosis). It mimicked a primary brain tumor and, therefore, posed a diagnostic problem. We present the – to our knowledge – first MRI scans in a case of a histologically proven chitinoma.

    Notes: Abstract We describe the usefulness of three-dimen-sional Fourier transformation-constructive interference in steady-state (CISS) imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the pre- and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of intracranial epidermoid tumors. Two surgically proven epidermoid tumors in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle were not identified in conventional T1- and T2-weighted images because of a signal intensity similar to that of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CISS images clearly demonstrated displacement of the cranial nerves and a shift caused by a lesion in the cistern, but the signal intensity of the tumor by CISS was not sufficiently different from that of CSF to demonstrate the tumor directly. Using DWI, the tumor in the cistern was shown clearly by its increased signal intensity. Together, CISS and DWI compensated for each other's disadvantages, and this combination was useful in guiding surgical treatment of epidermoid tumors in the CP cistern.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this prospective study was to follow the development of repair tissue in the donor-site area using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation and to assess whether the MRI findings were correlated with donor-site morbidity. Thirty-seven consecutive patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament injuries undergoing elective reconstruction of the ligament were included in the study. They were aged 27 (range 14–50) years. The graft was harvested through two 25-mm vertical incisions with the aim of protecting the infrapatellar nerve and sparing the paratenon. The tendon defect was left open. The patients underwent MRI evaluation at 6 weeks, 6 months and 27 months postoperatively. A final clinical follow-up was made 25 (range 23–29) months postoperatively. MRI demonstrated that the donor-site gap, i.e. the area corresponding to a pathological non-tendinous-like tissue signal, was 9 (range 4–18) mm at 6 weeks, 5 (range 2–14) mm at 6 months and 2 (range 0–5) mm at 27 months. The size of the donor-site gap had significantly decreased at 6 months compared with 6 weeks (P = 0.0001), as well as at 27 months compared with 6 months (P = 0.0001). We conclude that the patellar tendon at the donor site healed gradually, as expressed by a decrease in the area of non-tendinous-like tissue signal on the serial MRI evaluations.

    Notes: Abstract Signal anomalies observed in magnetic resonance imaging of the intrameniscal tissue adjacent to the tear were compared between stable knees (group 1, 54 menisci) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knees (group 2, 98 menisci). The histological significance of these signal anomalies was also studied (n = 25). The frequency of intrameniscal signal anomalies adjacent to the tear was significantly lower in ACL-deficient knees than in ACL-stable knees (P = 0.0022). There was a close correlation between the imaging anomalies and the presence of histological lesions (fissures, degeneration) within meniscal tissues adjacent to the tear (sensitivity: 0.95, specificity: 0.60). Our results suggest that the severity of intrameniscal degenerative changes adjacent to the tear are lower in ACL-deficient knees than in ACL-stable knees.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: This study compared conventional water-perfused and vector volume anal manometry in female patients with neurogenic fecal incontinence and chronic anal fissure and in healthy female volunteers. We used endoanal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to measure internal and external sphincter lengths and thicknesses and contrasted these with the manometric findings in the different anorectal conditions. METHODS: One hundred thirty-three female subjects were studied over an eight-month period, including 33 control volunteers, 83 patients with neurogenic fecal incontinence, and 17 patients with chronic anal fissure. Conventional manometry was contrasted with automated vector volume-derived parameters. Endoanal magnetic resonance images were obtained using a previously described internal coil with a 0.5 T Asset™ scanner measuring quadrantal internal sphincter thickness and averaged coronal internal and external sphincter lengths. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant relationship between parameters measured by conventional manometry and those variables derived from vector volume manometry at rest and squeeze. There was no difference in sectorial vector-derived pressures within any anorectal condition and no correlation between quadrantal internal sphincter thickness measurements and sectorial pressures at rest. Patients with chronic anal fissure and neurogenic fecal incontinence had constitutionally shorter superficial and subcutaneous external sphincters than healthy control subjects (P〈0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There is no association between manometric findings and morphologic sphincter measurement; however, the shorter distal external sphincter in patients with fissure might render the lower anal canal relatively unsupported after internal sphincterotomy in the female patient.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The preoperative assessment of rectal cancer wall invasion and regional lymph node metastasis is essential for the planning of optimal therapy. This study was done to determine the accuracy and clinical usefulness of transrectal ultrasonography, pelvic computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in preoperative staging. METHODS: A total of 89 patients with rectal cancer were examined with transrectal ultrasonography (n=89), pelvic computed tomography (n=69), and magnetic resonance imaging with endorectal coil (n=73). The results obtained by these diagnostic modalities were compared with the histopathologic staging of specimens. RESULTS: In staging depth of invasion, the overall accuracy was 81.1 percent (72/89) by transrectal ultrasonography, 65.2 percent (45/69) by computed tomography, and 81 percent (59/73) by magnetic resonance imaging. Overstaging was 10 percent (9/89) by transrectal ultrasonography, 17.4 percent (12/69) by computed tomography, and 11 percent (8/73) by magnetic resonance imaging; and understaging was 8 of 89 (8.9 percent) by transrectal ultrasonography, 12 of 69 (17.4 percent) by computed tomography, and 6 of 73 (8 percent) by magnetic resonance imaging. In staging lymph node metastasis, the overall accuracy rate was 54 of 85 (63.5 percent) in transrectal ultrasonography, 39 of 69 (56.5 percent) in computed tomography, and 46 of 73 (63 percent) in magnetic resonance imaging. The sensitivity was 24 of 45 (53.3 percent) in transrectal ultrasonography, 14 of 25 (56 percent) in computed tomography, and 33 of 42 (78.5 percent) in magnetic resonance imaging; and specificity was 30 of 40 (75.0 percent) in transrectal ultrasonography, 25 of 44 (56.8 percent) in computed tomography, and 13 of 31 (41.9 percent) in magnetic resonance imaging. The accuracy in detection of positive lateral pelvic lymph nodes under magnetic resonance imaging (n=8) was 12.5 percent. The accuracy in detection of posterior vaginal wall invasion was 100 percent in transrectal ultrasonography (n=7) and 100 percent in magnetic resonance imaging (n=3), but 28.5 percent in computed tomography (n=7). CONCLUSIONS: Both transrectal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging with endorectal coil exhibited similar accuracy and were superior to conventional computed tomography in preoperative assessment of depth of invasion and adjacent organ invasion. Because transrectal ultrasonography is a safer and more cost-effective modality than magnetic resonance imaging, transrectal ultrasonography is an appropriate method for preoperative staging of rectal cancer. Further efforts will be needed to provide a better staging of lymph node involvement.

    Notes: Abstract  The authors present the case of a 33-year-old patient with a bifocal ganglioglioma located in the right superior temporal gyrus. He had a history of tonic–clonic seizures and developed intermittent nausea and vertigo later on. Magnetic resonance imaging showed two distinct, small lesions in the right temporal lobe. Both tumors were removed microsurgically with ultrasound guidance. Intraoperatively, two distinct tumors were found. Histological diagnosis of both tumors was of ganglioglioma WHO II. Postoperatively, the patient was free of symptoms. Bifocal occurrence or the coincidence of two distinct gangliogliomas is a very uncommon finding. So far, it has not yet been reported in benign gangliogliomas.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract According to the literature, from 1950 to 1995 the overall risk for children of sustaining a fracture of the spinal column or the pelvic ring doubled, the main reason being the increasing incidence of high-energy trauma caused by newly popular sporting activities such as skateboarding, inline skating and mountain biking. Nonetheless, even specialized pediatric level I trauma centers in Europe and the United States of America report an incidence of below 5% for severe spinal injuries and fractures of the pelvis. Although these specific injury patters are seen relatively infrequently, whenever present they are still highly indicative of high-velocity injury mechanisms, frequently revealing a combination of injuries – each of which would be serious in itself – involving the body cavities and the soft tissues of the trunk an extremities. In summary, spinal cord injuries and pelvic ring fractures are rare but can be serious: cervical and spinal cord injuries without radiological abnormality appear to be more frequent than in adults, and the availability of nuclear magnetic imaging technologies has helped in the diagnosis of unsuspected cord injury in children. In addition, retrospective analysis of purely nonoperative management of highly unstable C-type injuries of the spine and the pelvic ring reveal some unsatisfactory results, so that specifically for these injury morphologies the alternative of an operative strategy might be considered. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss various injury patterns in which an operative concept could be considered, particularly for a multiply injured child.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Verletzungen des Rückenmarks und Sprengungen des knöchernen Beckenrings liegen im Kindesalter auch im Krankengut spezialisierter Zentren unter 5%. Besonders beachtenswert erscheint hierbei, daß Rückenmark- und besonders Halswirbelsäulenverletzungen v. a. beim Kind häufig keine ossäre Mitbeteiligung der Wirbelsäule zeigen und erst durch kernspintomographische Diagnostik erfaßt werden können. Desgleichen zeigt sich bei der retrospektiven Auswertung, daß ein pauschales, rein konservatives Management aller Verletzungstypen, d. h. v.a. der sog. C-Verletzungstypen an der Wirbelsäule und am Becken, z. T. unbefriedigende Behandlungsergebnisse zeigt und daher zunehmend bei bestimmten, im weiteren näher besprochenen Verletzungskonstellationen ein eher operatives Grundkonzept diskutiert wird. Neue Erkenntnisse zur Diagnostik und Therapie der Wirbelsäulen- und Beckenverletzung beim Kind liegen insofern vor, als 1. neuere epidemiologische Erhebungen heute eine präzisere, d. h. nicht nur empirisch gesicherte Unterscheidung der selten von eher regelmäßig anzutreffenden Verletzungstypen und Frakturmorphologien erlauben, 2. durch vergleichsweise „neue“ Sportarten wie „Scate-boarding“ und „Mountain-biking“ ganz generell eine statistisch belegte Zunahme von Hochrasanztraumen und komplexen Verletzungsmustern beim Kind beobachtet werden kann sowie 3. generell v.a. beim mehrfachverletzten Kind heute eine eher aggressivere Gangart, d. h. ein in bestimmten Einzelaspekten eher operatives Versorgungskonzept angestrebt wird. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit sind 1. eine Analyse der als besonders bedeutsam erkannten Verletzungsformen sowie 2. eine Darstellung der heute in Veränderung begriffenen Behandlungskonzepte v.a. beim mehrfachverletzten Kind.

    Notes: Abstract Vascular and tissue fluid dynamics in the microgravity of space environments is commonly simulated by head-down tilt (HDT). Previous reports have indicated that intracranial pressure and extracranial vascular pressures increase during acute HDT and may cause cerebral edema. Tissue water changes within the cranium are detectable by T 2 magnetic resonance imaging. We obtained T 2 images of sagittal slices from five subjects while they were supine and during −13° HDT using a 1.5-Tesla whole-body magnet. The analysis of difference images demonstrated that HDT leads to a 21% reduction of T 2 in the subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment and a 11% reduction in the eyes, which implies a reduction of water content; no increase in T 2 was observed in other brain regions that have been associated with cerebral edema. These findings suggest that water leaves the CSF and ocular compartments by exudation as a result of increased transmural pressure causing water to leave the cranium via the spinal CSF compartment or the venous circulation.

    Notes: Abstract New three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for measuring the tendon moment arm were created and were evaluated on the tendon moment arm of the flexor digitorum profundus at the third metacarpophalangeal joint. Using an open magnet MRI system and a hand holder, a series of static images were acquired at four joint angles and analyzed using specially created computer programs. Three methods were evaluated: (1) a 3D tendon excursion method that extended the method of Landsmeer; (2) a 3D geometric method whereby the moment arm was the perpendicular distance between the joint axis of rotation and the tendon path, and (3) a two-dimensional (2D) geometric method whereby single image slices were analyzed. Repeating the imaging and measurement processes, the 3D tendon excursion method was more reproducible (6% variation) than the 3D geometric method (12%), and both were much more reproducible than the 2D geometric method (27%). By having three operators analyze a single set of image data, we found that the precision of the 3D tendon excursion method was much less affected by segmentation error than the 3D geometric method. With the 3D imaging methods, tendon bowstringing and a displacement of the joint center of rotation toward the dorsal side of the hand were evident, leading to as much as a 60% increase in moment arm with joint flexion. Because of the dependence on flexion and variation between subjects, we recommend patient-specific measurements for target applications in functional neuromuscular stimulation interventions and tendon transfer surgery. © 1999 Biomedical Engineering Society.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose: Combining computational blood flow modeling with three-dimensional medical imaging provides a new approach for studying links between hemodynamic factors and arterial disease. Although this provides patient-specific hemodynamic information, it is subject to several potential errors. This study quantifies some of these errors and identifies optimal reconstruction methodologies. Methods: A carotid artery bifurcation phantom of known geometry was imaged using a commercial magnetic resonance (MR) imager. Three-dimensional models were reconstructed from the images using several reconstruction techniques, and steady and unsteady blood flow simulations were performed. The carotid bifurcation from a healthy, human volunteer was then imaged in vivo, and geometric models were reconstructed. Results: Reconstructed models of the phantom showed good agreement with the gold standard geometry, with a mean error of approximately 15% between the computed wall shear stress fields. Reconstructed models of the in vivo carotid bifurcation were unacceptably noisy, unless lumenal profile smoothing and approximating surface splines were used. Conclusions: All reconstruction methods gave acceptable results for the phantom model, but in vivo models appear to require smoothing. If proper attention is paid to smoothing and geometric fidelity issues, models reconstructed from MR images appear to be suitable for use in computational studies of in vivo hemodynamics. © 1999 Biomedical Engineering Society.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Aim of this study was the evaluation of a prototype of a new high-resolution MRI coil for the detection of finger trauma. The practicability of this new coil for the assessment of traumatic lesions of the finger joints and the diagnostic value of this new method in clinical practice was assessed. Twenty patients between 13 and 50 years of age (mean 28 years) were examined with a 1.5-T whole-body-imager Magnetom SP 63 scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). A prototype of a high-resolution MRI coil with a diameter of 2.5 cm was used. T1- and T2-weighted images with an in plane resolution of 0.I95 x 0.098 mm were acquired. Bone structures, joint cartilage and capsule, ligaments, tendons and soft tissue alterations were assessed. All 19 patients with pathological changes at the finger joints had a joint effusion. With MR imaging, fractures were detected in almost all patients, compared with the X-ray examinations. Cartilage contusion showed high signal intensity. The collateral ligaments could best be assessed in the transversal, and ligament ruptures in the coronal plane. Hemorrhage in the tendon showed an increased signal intensity in T1- and T2-weighted, edema only in T2-weighted images. Especially traumatic lesions of cartilage and of ligaments can be sufficiently assessed by the high-resolution MRI due to its high anatomic resolution compared to common methods like X-ray. High-resolution MRI is practicable in clinical routine.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ziel der vorliegenden prospektiven Untersuchung war es, die Wertigkeit der hochauflösenden Kernspintomographie mittels einer speziellen Oberflächenspule in der Beurteilung von traumatischen Veränderungen der Fingergelenke zu evaluieren. Ferner sollte die Praktikabilität der Methode in der klinischen Routine überprüft werden. Es wurden 20 Patienten im Alter zwischen 13 und 50 Jahren (im Mittel 28 Jahre) an einem 1,5-T-Ganzkörpertomographen (Magnetom SP 63, Firma Siemens, Erlangen) untersucht. Als Spule wurde ein Prototyp einer hochauflösenden Oberflächenspule mit einem Durchmesser von 2,5 cm benutzt. T1- und T2-gewichtete Sequenzen mit einer maximalen Auflbsung in der Bildebene von 0,195 x 0,098 mm wurden zur Beurteilung von Knochen, Gelenkknorpel und -kapsel, der Sehnen und des Weichteilgewebes akquiriert. Kernspintomographisch fand sich bei 19 Patienten ein pathologischer Befund. Bei all diesen Patienten konnte ein Gelenkerguß nachgewiesen werden. Knöcherne Absprengungen, die anhand konventioneller Röntgenaufnahmen diagnostiziert wurden, zeigten sich kernspintomographisch als dislozierte signalreiche Strukturen. Gelenkknorpelkontusionen stellten sich hyperintens dar. Zur Beurteilung der Kollateralbānder eignete sich vor allem die koronare Schichtebene, da in dieser die Kollateralbdnder per continuitatem darstellbar sind. Sehneneinblutungen wiesen eine Signalerhöhung in T1- und T2-Wichtung auf. Ödeme der Weichteile und Bandstrukturen imponierten in T2-gewichteten Aufnahmen als signalreiche Strukturveränderungen. Aufgrund der hohen anatomischen Detailerkennbarkeit eignet sich die hochauflbsende Kernspintomographie als ergänzendes diagnostisches Verfahren zur nichtinvasiven Diagnostik von traumatischen Knorpel- und Bandläsionen. Unter Berücksichtigung des Zeitaufwandes handelt es sich dabei um eine im klinischen Alltag praktikable Methode.

    Notes: Der in der Zeit vom 5. bis 7. Oktober 1998 zum sechsten Mal in Berlin durchgeführte „International Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering“ der DECHEMA hat sich längst als das herausragende Forum für Diskussionen und den Ideenaustausch im Bereich der Polymerisationstechnik etabliert. Mit über 150 Teilnehmern aus 18 Ländern, die zu mehr als 50% aus der Industrie kamen, stellt der Workshop einen intensiven, internationalen Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Industrie und Hochschule sicher. Einen thematischen Schwerpunkt bildete die Emulsionspolymerisation, wo im Vergleich mit den vorangegangenen Tagungen eine kontinuierliche Steigerung der Beiträge zu verzeichnen war. Zu der erstmals als eigenständiger Themenkreis vertretenen Olefinpolymerisation wurde auf Anhieb in zahlreichen Beitragen berichtet. Ein zunehmendes Interesse zeichnet sich ebenso für die Reaktivextrusion ab.

    Notes: Product Engineering in the Case of Extruded Instant Powders.Starch based instant powders are usually produced by cooking/gelatinizing in an excess of water with subsequent drying and milling. Important product attributes are the specific weight and the instant properties of the powder, as well as the taste, the viscosity, and the mouth-feel of the reconstituted gel. Cooking extrusion is an alternative energy saving process. Process development usually takes a long time and proves expensive due to the large number of different process parameters and their possible combinations. For two exemplary products it is demonstrated how the screw configuration and the target range of process parameters can be defined by statistical trial design. Final optimization („fine tuning“) and scale-up assure efficient process design according to product needs.

    Notes: Use of Biocompounds for Degradation of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons in Treatment of Ground Water and Waste Water.Process engineering approaches to waste water treatment using immobilised microorganisms (MO) permit greater biomass concentrations in the bioreactor and hence higher conversions per unit time. Moreover, the biofilms formed assure favourable conditions for degradation specialists. Immobilisation of microorganisms is feasible on both static and freely mobile supports. Use of the latter permits modification of the flow conditions in the reactor.

    Notes: Increasing Productivity through Integrated Production Engineering and Processing Expertise The future of production engineering is interdisciplinary. Between product innovation and product marketing there lies a design process which has to be optimised and which is interdisciplinary in character. The design process has to satisfy the demands of global markets on chemical products, which lead, for example, to shorter and shorter product life cycles, and to demands for low production costs, high and consistent product quality, and faster market launches.

    Notes: Safe Operation of Semi-Batch Reactors by Supervising the Accumulation of Reactants Through Online Energy Balance.An essential part of the strategy for ensuring safe operating conditions for semi-batch reactors is the permanent guarantee of an admissible accumulation of reactants. Thus, even in case of a failure or a breakdown of the cooling system or the agitator, the maximum possible pressure and temperature in the reactor still remain within their permissible limits. The energy balance method makes it possible to monitor online the reactant concentration and to limit the accumulation by switching off the feed of reactant in time. Practical experience with a production plant is presented in which, over a period of 2 years, numerous process cycles were calculated and subjected to comparative analysis. The results show that the reproducibility as well as the accuracy of calculation are high and that the energy balance method can be regarded as reliable. In addition, recommendations for the implementation of this safety strategy as a reliable tool in plants are obtained. On this basis, the energy balance method provides additional information about the process and, thus, can provide an increase of plant safety and product quality by maintaining process availability.

    Notes: Fluid Dynamics in Microchannel Reactors.The possible benefits of using microchannel reactors in the chemical process industries have been under discussion for several years. Outstanding heat transfer properties, short residence times and short diffusion lengths are considered key advantages, while the cost of the approach and the pending question of long-term stability are still major sources of skepticism. A good starting point for a feasibility study is to investigate some major fluid dynamic properties. For a unit consisting of hundreds of parallel microchannels, the pressure drop for the laminar flow is just a few millibar. However, at high gas flows the distribution over the numerous channels may become non-uniform. It is shown how the resulting residence time distribution affects both the yield of intermediates in consecutive reactions, and step functions of the concentration during periodic operation, respectively. All in all, the results of the estimations are encouraging.
