<description><![CDATA[Objective: To assess the role of the preoperative MR signal in predicting the tumor consistency of pituitary macroadenomas. Materials and Methods: According to the surgical findings, 120 pituitary macroadenomas were divided into three types: hard, soft and mixed type. Patient’s age, maximum diameter of tumor, the ratios of signal intensity of tumor to the white matter of temporal lobe in solid tumors were compared in different types. Surgical approach and resection degree in three types tumors were analyzed comparatively. Categorical variables were examined with the chi-square; continuous-scale data were analyzed with the analysis of variance. Results: 12 of 13 non-solid tumors were soft. All non-solid tumors received total or subtotal transsphenoidal hypophysectomy. In 107 solid tumors, the ratios of T2-weighted signal intensity of tumors to the white matter of temporal lobe in soft type was higher than other types (P=0.005, 0.000, respectively). Resection degree of soft tumors was higher than hard tumors (χ2=14.13, P=0.003). Conclusion: The ratios of T2-weighted signal intensity of pituitary macroadenomas to the white matter can be used as an indicator to preoperatively assess the consistency of pituitary tumors, which can help to find the appropriate surgical approach.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of applying MR contrast-enhanced T1 weighted imaging and T2WI FLAIR CUBE sequence to diagnosis of craniocerebral diseases. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five subjects were included in this study. The patients were composed of 20 cases of single brain tumor, 2 cases of meningitis, and 3 cases of metastatic encephaloma. Twenty-five patients underwent T2 FLAIR, enhanced T1WI and enhanced sagittal Cube FLAIR imaging with the 3.0 T MR scanner. Multi-planar reconstruction and axial reconstruction were completed after enhanced Cube FLAIR scan in order to compare with enhanced T1WI sequence. Results: The signal ratios of lesion had significant difference in enhanced T1WI and enhanced Cube FLAIR (P＜0.05), as well as enhanced Cube FLAIR and unenhanced T2 FLAIR (P＜0.01). One patient diagnosed with cerebellopontine angle tumor presented with a 6-month history of a facial palsy. We could see clearly about the incrassate facial nerve, which is invisible on the other sequences. Compared with T2 FLAIR and enhanced T1WI, enhanced Cube FLAIR clearly demonstrated the scope of lesions. The enhanced Cube FLAIR sequence clearly depicted the distribution of metastatic lesions and the meningeal spread in the metastatic encephaloma patients as well as a much wider range compared with conventional enhanced T1WI. Conclusion:  Enhanced Cube FLAIR sequence can be used as a conventional sequence in the diagnosis of central nervous diseases.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To explore the value of conventional MRI texture analysis in diagnosing temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis. Materials and Methods: The oblique coronal T2 FLAIR images of 22 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis confirmed by pathology were analyzed by using Mazda software. The feature selection methods included mutual information (MI), Fisher coefficient and classification error probability combined with average correlation coefficients (POE+ACC), Through these methods, the texture features of hippocampus were extracted. Then, four statistical methods were used to distinguish the hippocampal sclerosis side and normal side of the patients that were raw data analysis (Raw Date), the principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA). The results are indicated with misclassification rate. Meanwhile, 2 neuroradiologists also reviewed the MR images of 22 patients. The differences of the results  between the two analysis methods were analyzed finally. Results: The misclassification rate was the lowest (2/44, 4.55%) via the FPM selection and NDA statistical method. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences of the misclassification rate between the texture analysis and neuroradiologists’ analysis (11/44, 25%). Conclusion:  Texture analysis of conventional MRI can provide reliable objective basis for the diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis.]]></description>

<link>http://med-sci.cn/cgzcx/en/en_articlexml.asp?doi=10.12015/issn.1674-8034.2017.10.006</link>
<description><![CDATA[Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging features of 4 middle-aged and elderly cases with cardiac amyloidosis, in order to improve its diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: The records of 4 patients who were diagnosed as cardiac amyloidosis by pathology in Beijing hospital from Aug 2010 to Dec 2016 were reviewed to identify the characteristics including age, gender, clinical manifestation, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and pathological features, treatment and prognosis. Results: The mean age of patients was about 68 years (57y-72y). All 4 patients were with long course (9 months to 3 years) and found elevated serum NT-pro BNP and troponin with manifestation of varying degrees in systolic dysfunction of left ventricles. 3 patients presented arrhythmia. 2 cases were with low voltage and pathological q waves in ECG. And elevated light chain emerged in 3 patients' urine. Cardiac ultrasonography depicted thickened myocardium with ventricular interval predominant and came to a diagnosis of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 4 patients. However, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) revealed asymmetric hypertrophy in left ventricles with increased myocardium mass and no chamber enlargement; Left ventricular myocardial motion became weak, and so were the systolic functions. Late Gadolinium Enhancement depicted diffused subendocardium or transmural enhancement, dark blood pool and myocardial nulling before blood pool. 4 cases turned out to be primary systemic amyloidosis light chain type (AL); 3 were proved by extro-myocardium biopsy and 1 by autopsy. Amyloidosis frequently involves kidneys, liver, intestines, peripheral nervous system and skin. 1 patient was treated with PD and MD chemo methods and maintains in good statue till now. 2 were with confirmed diagnosis, but without effective intervention. The last patient was confirmed amyloidosis late with no effective treatment, and he died. Conclusion: CMR features of cardiac amyloidosis include myocardium thickening, increasing myocardium mass, myocardial nulling before blood pool, dark blood pool in chambers and diffused subendocardial or transmural enhancement in LGE, all of which are characteristic, providing hints for etiological diagnosis of refractory heart failure. CMR plays a very important role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.]]></description>

<link>http://med-sci.cn/cgzcx/en/en_articlexml.asp?doi=10.12015/issn.1674-8034.2017.10.007</link>
<description><![CDATA[Objective: To investigate the radiological features of breast adenosis and breast ductal carcinoma by dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), DWI and to correlate them to different pathological types. Materials and Methods: 105 cases of breast adenosis and 78 cases of breast ductal carcinoma confirmed by surgical histopathology or biopsy were retrospectively analyzed in the study. All of the patients were examined preoperatively by DWI and DCE-MRI (Vibrant). MRI features of breast adenosis and breast ductal carcinoma with pathological correlation were analyzed. Clinical data, lesion location, size, pattern and enhancement pattern in the groups between different pathological types of breast adenosis and breast ductal carcinoma were evaluated and analyzed by using statistics test by using χ2 test. One-way ANOVA was employed to compare the ADC values. Results: In 105 cases of breast adenosis, DCE MR images showed mass-like lesions (50 patients) and nonmass-like lesions (55 patients), In 78 cases of breast ductal carcinoma, DCE MR images showed mass-like lesions (52 patients) and nonmass-like lesions (26 patients). Most of MLE lesions of adenosis group have morphological rules (37/50, 74%) and clear edge (35/50, 70%). There were statistical significance between MLE lesions of breast adenosis and breast ductal carcinoma in enhancement pattern and TIC pattern (χ2=14.169 and 13.955, respectively, all P＜0.01). The ADC values of MLE lesions of breast adenosis and ductal carcinoma were (131.63±21.8) ×10-3 mm2/s, (104.21±18.54) ×10-3 mm2/s, respectively. There were significant differences in the groups (F=52.167, P＜0.01). NMLE lesions of breast adenosis and breast ductal carcinoma enhancement patterns were diverse. There were statistical significance between NMLE lesions in pattern and TIC pattern (χ2=and 4.478, respectively, all P＜0.05). The ADC values of MLE lesions of breast adenosis and ductal carcinoma were (136.23±14.8) ×10-3 mm2/s, (102.51±16.44) ×10-3 mm2/s, respectively. There were significant differences between the groups (F=49.167, P＜0.01). Conclusion: The characteristic of radiological findings can be found in breast adenosis using advanced MR imaging techniques, most of MLE lesions of breast adenosis are benignity-looking lesions, and NMLE lesions of breast adenosis in morphology are similar to malignant lesions, DCE-MRI combined with DWI are helpful in the differential diagnosis of breast ductal carcinoma. It shows these suspicious features could be misleading in the MRI interpretation in a group of patients with stromal fibrosis.]]></description>

<link>http://med-sci.cn/cgzcx/en/en_articlexml.asp?doi=10.12015/issn.1674-8034.2017.10.008</link>
<description><![CDATA[Objective: To explore the ability of NCE-MRA SLEEK (a non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography using spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses) in showing renal arteries and displaying renal artery disease in those patients with hypertension. Materials and Methods: NCE-MRA SLEEK was performed for evaluating the ability of showing renal arteries and presenting renal artery disease in those hypertension patients. The renal arteries were assessed by two experienced radiologists. All patients performed computed tomography angiography (CTA) within 10 days after NCE-MRA SLEEK. The ability of displaying the renal arteries and delineating renal artery disease with NCE-MRA SLEEK were assessed with the comparison of CTA results. Results: NCE-MRA SLEEK was successfully undergone in 46 out of 52 patients. In these 46 hypertension patients, a total of 109 renal arteries were found with NCE-MRA SLEEK (CTA:114), including 77 normal (CTA: 82), 28 renal artery stenoses (RAS) (CTA: 26), 4 fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) (CTA: 6). The ability of presenting the main renal artery between SLEEK and CTA was coincidence with an exception of not displaying 5 renal artery on NCE-MRA SLEEK; For presenting segmental branches in the renal parenchyma, NCE-MRA SLEEK was superior to CTA (P=0.001). The excellent correlation was found between NCE-MRA SLEEK and CTA in displaying the RAS degree (Rs=0.85, P＜0.05). Conclusion:  NCE-MRA SLEEK appears a good diagnostic method for presenting renal artery and assessing renal artery disease, especially for segmental branches in the renal parenchyma. It can be as an CTA alternative choice for screening renal artery diseases.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To monitor the treatment of ultra-early changes in liver subcutaneous transplanted tumor in nude mice with new vascular disrupting agent, A64, using the IVIM-DWI technique and to investigate the correlation between the ultra-early pathological and physiological changes in tumor and the IVIM parameters after A64 treatment. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two liver subcutaneous transplanted tumor models of nude mice were established, and randomly divided into MR examination group and parallel pathology group, and injected with A64 (2 μmol/kg) from the caudal vein of nude mice. The MR examination group (n=10) received the intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) at five time points: baseline time, at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h after injection; the D, D* and f values were measured dynamically; and all mice were executed at 24 h to obtain the tumor samples. 3 mice in the parallel pathology group (n=12) were executed at the baseline time, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h after injection, respectively, to obtain the tumor sample at the corresponding time point, among which the 3 mice at 24 h were randomly selected from all the executed mice in the experimental group at 24 h. The tumor samples were treated with the routine HE and CD31 immunohistochemical staining. Results: Compared with that at the baseline level, D value continued to decline at 1 h and 2 h, began to rise at 4 h and returned to the baseline level at 24 h; D* and f values continued to decline within 4 h, and rose at 24 h. But the change in f value was not as significant as that in D* value. At 1-2 h after injection of A64, the shape abnormality of tumor vessels, lumen stenosis and occlusion, destruction and tumor necrosis occurred, leading to the decreased number of tumor vessels and proliferated tumor angiogenesis, and the value returned to over baseline level at 4 h.The variation trend of D* and f values was similar to that of CD31-IOD. There were statistically significant differences (P=0.000,0.000,0.005, 0.000) in the D, D*, f and CD31 integrated option density (CD31-IOD) at each time point. Conclusion: Among the IVIM-DWI parameters, D, D* and f can dynamically monitor and quantitatively evaluate the ultra-early effect of A64 on liver subcutaneous transplanted tumor in nude mice. And the changes in D, D* and f values are closely related to the pathology and CD31.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: Comparison of the different MRI findings between the cystic oligodendroglioma (COD) and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) to make a differential diagnosis. Materials and Methods: The MRI imaging data of 15 cases of COD and 9 cases of PXA confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared the differences of age and 10 MRI findings of two tumors. The chi-square test was used to compare the counting data. The independent sample t test and non-parametric test was used to compare the measurement data. Results: Differences in tumor size (t=4.824, P＜0.01), tumor shape (χ2=13.211, P＜0.01), the location of the mural nodule (χ2=13.211, P＜0.01), homogenous enhancement of the mural nodule (χ2=9.802, P＜0.01) and the enhancement degree of cystic wall (χ2=10.959, P＜0.01) between COD and PXA were statistically significant. Differences in tumor location (χ2=3.898, P＞0.05), the division of the pia mater (χ2=0.059, P＞0.05), T2WI signal of the mural nodule (χ2=0.336, P＞0.05), DWI signal of the mural nodule (χ2=0.059, P＞0.05), the smoothness of cystic wall (χ2=0.320, P＞0.05), relationship with adjacent brain (χ2=0.800, P＞0.05) and peritumoral edema (χ2=0.572, P＞0.05) were not statistically significant. And the predilection age difference was not statistically significant either (Z=-1.717, P＜0.05). Conclusion: The MRI findings in tumor size, tumor shape, the location of the mural nodule, homogeneous enhancement of the mural nodule and the enhancement degree of cystic wall are helpful in the differential diagnosis between COD and PXA. The tumor location and the predilection age can be used as a supplementary indicator of differential diagnosis.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Manganese ion (Mn2+) has been applied for quite a few animal experiments for more than thirty years as a contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), duo to its sensitivity for a number of biological processes, manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) made great progress in a multitude of biological researches in recent years, mainly including three aspects: contrast enhancement of subtle anatomical structure, activity-induced manganese-enhanced MRI (AIM-MRI) and tracing neural circuits or special neuronal connectivity. The application of MEMRI is primarily based on the following three properties of Mn2+: as an analogue of calcium ion (Ca2+), Mn2+ could enter into excitable cells via L-type voltage gated calcium channels; paramagnetic Mn2+ can shorten longitudinal relaxation time of water protons and result in positive MRI T1 enhancement effect; Mn2+ entered into neurons and can traverse synapses to accumulate in neighboring neurons by microtubule-dependent axonal transport. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), has a very high mortality rate, and it is a pointcut for the treatment of MODS to understand its mechanisms and timely to hinder the developing process. Intracellular Ca2+ overload is one of the key events during MODS, and basing on the relative biological properties of Mn2+, MEMRI might have the potential to monitor dynamically some relative pathophysiological progresses at the early stage of MODS in vivo, and it’s possible to further explore its mechanisms and evaluate effect of treatment.]]></description>
