ABSTRACT

Purpose Determination of the diagnostic capabilities of metadevices for breast MR examination in women.

Material and methods In the study, two types of metadevices for examining the mammary glands were considered – for imaging in a field with magnetic induction of 3 T and 1.5 T. 11 healthy women of reproductive age were examined, magnetic resonance images of T1 (turbo spin echo) and T1 3D gradient echo (GRE) were obtained based on the Dixon method with fat saturation. The images were evaluated by radiologists on a 5-point Likert scale.

Results The images obtained using the metadevices were characterized by acceptable and comparable absolute and relative signal-to-noise ratios comparing them to images obtained using a standard coil at the same spatial resolution and with a decrease in input power by an average of 27 times for 3.0 T. At the same time, for 1.5 T, the input power was reduced by a factor of 15.6, and the signal-to-noise ratio was increased by a factor of 2. For image quality criteria in terms of presence/absence of artifacts, the average score for the metadevice was higher than the score for the specialized coil by 3 T. For 1.5 T, this parameter turned out to be the same, which was probably associated with a lower level of artifacts by 1.5 T than by 3 T in general.

Discussion Analysis of the collected assessments of independent experts indicates that the diagnostic characteristics of magnetic resonance images of the mammary glands obtained using ceramic-based (for 3 T) and wire-based (for 1.5 T) metadevices are of a good and average level, and are comparable in terms of all criteria with standard approaches.

Conclusions The assessment of the quality of the obtained images demonstrates the acceptable quality of imaging and reflects the possibility of their application in clinical practice, taking into account ongoing improvements and optimization of the entire set of pulse sequences for MRI of the mammary glands.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Previously, a functional test with intravenous administration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was proposed to assess the reactivity of cerebral circulation and the functional significance of internal carotid artery stenoses, with evaluation by brain SPECT (neuroSPECT) with 99mTc-HMPAO. The types of the reaction of the cerebral blood flow during it were identified, with different ratios of internal carotid artery stenoses and the degree of ischemic brain damage assessed according to brain MRI data. However, the prognostic value of the results of the ATP test of cerebral blood flow in relation to disorders of cerebral circulation (NMC) remains unknown.

Purpose: In a retrospective study, we tried to study the prognostic value of the ATP test of cerebral blood flow in relation to the risk of subsequent disorders of cerebral circulation.

Material and methods: The retrospective study included 37 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of the carotid arteries, who in 2002–2005 underwent functional studies of cerebral blood flow with a sample with intravenous administration of ATP solution. Brain damage was quantified according to MRI data (Magnetom Open, Siemens) in a T2-weighted mode, according to a previously developed technique. Denoting Iliq – the intensity of the T2 signal from the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, Iinsult – in the area affected by ischemia, and
Inorm – in the area of the unaffected brain, the volume of the damaged tissue (VDT) was calculated as the sum taken from all sections i, where the area of brain damage is visible: VDT=Σid·Si∙[(Iinsult ‒ Inorm)/(Iliq ‒ Inorm)]i, where d is the thickness of the slice, and Si is the area of the ischemia area on the slice i. The quota of damaged tissue in the physical volume of the lesion area is then obviously eqal to : QD={Σid·Si∙[(Iinsult
Inorm)/(Iliq ‒ Inorm)]i}/{Σid·Si}. NeuroSPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO (540 MBq) in each patient was carried out at rest and with intravenous administration of ATP solution (100 μg / kg of weight, intravenously slowly for 1 min under ECG control). The asymmetry of the cerebral blood flow was evaluated at rest and in a sample with ATP as the 99mTc-HMPAO accumulation asymmetry index (AI) – the interhemispheric ratio of the average 99mTc-HMPAO absorption score in the middle cerebral artery basin.

Results: In accordance with the previously presented classification, patients were assigned to one of three groups – with different types of brain blood flow reaction to a stress test with ATP.

In 14 individuals (type 1), a symmetrical distribution of blood flow at rest was noted (AI=0.98±0.01), while the ATP test caused an asymmetry in the uptake of 99mTc-HMPAO (AI=0.91±0.04), due to a decrease on the side of the stenosis-dependent hemisphere (unilateral stenosis of the common and/or internal carotid arteries, exceeding 55 %), without signs of damage to the cerebral cortex.

In 11 patients with previous ischemic brain injuries (type 2), proven by MRI, the carotid arteries were patent, including after carotid endarterectomy (5 patients) or after correction of stenosis with a stent (three). Rest asymmetry of blood flow was present (AI=0.92±0.03). The ATP test increased blood supply on the side of injury if, according to T2-weighted MRI in the ischemic area, QD<0.35. Due to this, in general, there was a significant decrease in the absorption asymmetry of 99mTc-HMPAO (AI=0.96±0.03) during the ATP test.

In 12 patients (type 3) with predominantly unilateral 50‒90 % carotid artery stenosis and ischemic stroke on the same side (group III), the hemispheric asymmetry of blood supply to the brain, noted already at rest (AI=0.96±0.03), increased (AI=0.93±0.03) with an adenosine test.

When analyzing the results of a two-year follow-up, it turned out that frequent transient ishemic attacs, minor strokes and strokes developed only in patients in whom the adenosine test induced or increased the interhemispheric asymmetry of 99mTc-HMPAO accumulation by more than 5 % – four with type 1 reactivity, and three with type 3 reactivity

Conclusions: Thus, perfusion neuroSPECT with 99mTc-HMPAO and ATP stress-test can be employed to identify patients with a reduced reserve of cerebral perfusion, who have an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Quantitative analysis of T2-weighted MRI gives an estimate of the proportion of viable brain tissue in the focus of the past ischemia, in which reactivity is preserved.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To study the possibility of using SPECT with a new radiopharmaceutical 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose (99mTc-TG) for staging lymphomas.

Material and methods: The study included 53 patients with a verified diagnosis of lymphoma (38 people – the main group) and adenopathy of non-tumor origin (15 patients - the comparison group). All patients of the main group underwent 99mTc-TG SPECT, CT of the chest, abdominal organs and all interested areas, ultrasound, and biopsy followed by histological and immunohistochemical studies. Five patients underwent additional 18F-FDG PET/CT. The reference verification methods were histological and IHC examination or, if it was impossible to perform it, clinical observation of the patient for a year with standard control instrumental studies, 18F-FDG PET/CT and 99mTc-TG SPECT. In the comparison group, 99mTc-TG SPECT was performed once before the biopsy.

Results: It was shown that 99mTc-TG SPECT made it possible to identify hypermetabolic foci in 75 % of the affected lymph nodes and in
81 % of extranodal formations established by reference diagnostic methods. The low sensitivity 99mTc-TG SPECT are due to the low diagnostic efficiency of the method in detecting lesions in the abdominal cavity and are associated with a high background blood activity and a physiological increase in the accumulation of 99mTc-TG in the kidneys and bladder. However, the method allowed additional visualization of nodal and extranodal lesions in 7 and 9 % of cases, respectively. However, the method allowed additional visualization of nodal and extranodal lesions in 7 % and 9 % of cases, respectively. A study of persons in the comparison group showed that 99mTc-TG SPECT has a high specificity (93 %) in the diagnosis of lymphomas.

Conclusion: The 99mTc-TG SPECT with has a high specificity (93 %) in the diagnosis of lymphomas and can be used as an additional method of investigation in the staging of lymphoproliferative diseases.

Abstract

Purpose: To present a clinical case of a benign bone tumor of rare localization – chondromyxoid fibroma of the temporal bone, simulated chronic inflammation.

Material and methods: A clinical case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the right temporal bone is presented. X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the temporal bones were performed before and during hospitalization.

Results: Patient T., 29 years old, has been complaining about discomfort, congestion and noise in the right ear for the past 10 years without clear history of acute media otitis in anamnesis. According to the results of MRI of the temporal bones, a tumor of the right temporal bone was revealed. To clarify the diagnosis and for surgical treatment, the patient was referred to the clinic. During hospitalization CT of the temporal bones with contrast enhancement was performed and a tumor in the mastoid process of the right temporal bone with a ring-shaped accumulation of a contrast was determined, differential diagnosis included tumor and chronic abscess. According to the results of morphological examination after radical surgery of the temporal bone, chondromyxoid fibroma was diagnosed.

Conclusion: Localization of chondromyxoid fibroma in the temporal bone is extremely rare and having by chance some features can simulate chronic inflammatory process. The absence of a clear history of acute otitis allows more likely suggest the tumor.
