[MR tomographic functional analysis of the left ventricle].

The following contribution presents a continuous MRT analysis of the contraction and relaxation processes of healthy left ventricles giving reference values for contraction and relaxation velocities. For the total ventricle we have Vsyst. r. total = 342 +/- 47% LVEDV/sec and Vdiast. r. total = 303 +/- 59% LVEDV/sec. In relation to the end-diastolic (tomographic) volume (EDSV) significantly greater changes in volume per unit of time were measured apically compared to basal (systolic: 411 +/- 89% EDSV/sec apical vs 261 +/- 35% EDSV/sec basal; diastolic: 810 +/- 145% EDSV/sec apical vs 245 +/- 70% EDSV/sec basal). Occurrence of the end-systolic minimal volumes of apical tomographic layers was delayed against the total ventricle by 22.4 +/- 7.9% t syst. Within the ventricle there was systolically a redistribution of the proportions of volume from apical to basal.

[MRT for surgical planning in anal atresia].

We evaluated in this study the value of preoperative examinations of anal atresia with an optimised MRI strategy. 13 patients with anorectal anomalies, most of them younger than one year, underwent an MRI examination of the pelvis. 10 of these patients were operated afterwards. Compared with the situs shown by the operation the results of the MRI examination were very exact in all cases in respect of the level of atresia and the development of the striated muscle complex. Fistulas could be completely described in most cases. MRI demonstrated additional lesions in some patients which were of great importance for planning the further treatment of the patients. As a consequence MRI can give valid information on anal atresia for planning the operative treatment.

[Detection of primarily unrecognized fractures in severely injured patients by skeletal scintigraphy].

Even in despite of diligent investigation clinical and radiological diagnostics can leave fractures unrecognized in seriously injured patients. Bone-scans of 53 patients revealed 68 additional fractures. In 45% of all cases the initial diagnosis was altered, 19% resulted in therapeutical consequences. Routine diagnostics should be supplemented by a bone-scan if clinical and radiological findings are not in line. A bone-scan can exclude any osseous lesion and can survey the full extent of injuries especially in the disoriented or unconscious patient.

[Nuclear magnetic tomography in shoulder dislocation].

Sixty-two patients with anterior shoulder dislocations were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After a primary dislocation, 30 patients showed 23 (77%) tears of the glenoid labrum, 13 (45%) anterior-inferior separation of the capsula, 24 (83%) Hill-Sachs lesions, 6 fractures of the greater tuberosity and 4 glenoid rim fractures. Thirty-two patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation had 14 (44%) tears and 15 (47%) defects of the glenoid labrum, 16 (50%) anterior-inferior separation of the capsula, 28 (88%) Hill-Sachs lesions and 3 glenoid rim fractures. MRI permits complete non-invasive documentation of glenohumeral instability if joint effusion is present. In the absence of joint effusion, diagnostic accuracy can be improved by application of a contrast medium.

[MR tomography in testicular processes. The significance of Gd-DTPA enhanced sequences in comparison with plain T2-weighted sequences].

The value of T1-weighted sequences after intravenous administration of Gd-DTPA and of T2-weighted sequences was compared in 43 patients suspected of having scrotal abnormalities. T2-weighted sequences gave better demonstration of the tunica albuginea and better contrast between tumor and parenchyma. The two techniques were equally sensitive for demonstrating testicular tumors but orchitis was better demonstrated on the contrast enhanced sequences. Motion artifacts were less marked in the T1-weighted sequences with contrast enhancement. In selected cases, contrast enhancement may be a valuable addition to native protocols. Our experience has indicated that MRI provides specific findings in cases of orchitis which are clinically atypical; this facilitates the decision to conservative treatment and prevents unnecessary exploration of the testes.

[MR tomography of injuries of the medial collateral ligaments of the knee joint].

Frequency and characteristics of lesions of the medial collateral ligaments (MCL) were studied by MRI in 155 patients with trauma to the knee. There were abnormalities of the MCL in 38% of cases with ligamentous injuries and in 27% these were combined with meniscal tears. 11% of these patients showed isolated rupture of MCL and as a result of the MRI findings were treated conservatively. By means of T2*-weighted images the individual lesions could be accurately localised. Characteristic findings have been defined.

[MR tomography versus CT arthrography in glenohumeral instabilities].

In a prospective study the diagnostic value of MRI compared to CT arthrography (CT-A) was evaluated in 26 patients with 27 instable shoulder joints. Surgical and/or arthroscopic correlation was available in all cases. Both methods showed a high accuracy (96% CT-A, 94% MRI) in the evaluation of the glenoid labrum. CT-A was significantly superior to MRI in the detection of capsular lesions (sensitivity 96% vs. 44%, accuracy 96% vs. 72%, negative predictive value 96% vs. 67%). CT-A and MRI results regarding humeral head fractures were similar; fractures of the glenoid rim were better detected by CT-A, the difference, however, was statistically not significant. Overall, CT-A proved to be superior to MRI, as lesions of the joint capsule were shown with greater certainty.

[Cystic space-occupying lesions of the seminal vesicles. Their demonstration with MRT].

Between October 1990 and March 1991, 8 patients with cystic lesions in the region of the posterior bladder wall, the seminal vesicles and the prostate were examined by MRI. In all cases there was accurate characterisation of the lesion and of its anatomy. In 3 patients with abnormalities in the retrovesical space there was very good agreement with the operative findings. 4 patients were treated conservatively. In these patients there was good agreement with the findings on cystoscopy, CT and sonography.

[The value of MR tomography in acute shoulder dislocations].

24 patients up to two weeks after primary traumatic shoulder dislocation were examined at 0.5 and 1.5 T. Surgical and/or arthroscopic correlation was available in 13, CT-arthrographic correlation in 16 patients. A joint effusion allowing sufficient evaluation of the capsulolabral complex was present in 21/24 (87.5%) cases. 11/14 patients with combined dislocated detachments of the glenoid labrum and capsular lesions were subsequently operated upon. Marrow edema of the humeral head was found in 16/19 Hill-Sachs lesions and in 4/5 fractures of the greater tuberosity. Two patients presented with a lesion of the long biceps tendon associated with rotator cuff tears and were also subsequently operated upon. MRI performed shortly after primary traumatic shoulder dislocation allows a comprehensive evaluation of the intraarticular lesions and decisively influences further therapy.

[Measurement error estimation in MR tomographic volumetry of the left ventricle with the multisection technic].

A multi-slice technique for MRT measurements of the left ventricular volume is much faster than the use of single-slice methods and is therefore better tolerated, leaving time for additional measurements. The end-diastolic left ventricular volume can be reliably measured by this method (123.3 +/- 13.5 ml vs. 124.1 +/- ml). The end-systolic volume is consistently overestimated by 23.7 +/- 18.3% compared with the reference value obtained by single slice measurements (47.9 +/- 8.9 ml vs 39.1 +/- 7.9 ml). Correspondingly, stroke volume and ejection fraction is underestimated on average by 10.6 +/- 9.7% and 10.6 +/- 7.6% respectively).

[MR tomography of cystosarcoma phylloides. A case report].

This is the first time a report is being published in medical literature on the MR imaging of a cystosarcoma phylloides tumour after intravenous contrast agent administration. MR tomography enabled complete visualisation of the tumour even in the region close to the thoracic wall, as well as clear delineation against the non-tumorous glandular tissue. This means that the limits along which complete extirpation of the tumour could be performed, were determined accurately before the operation, such complete removal being imperative to avoid tumour recurrence.

[Lobular carcinoma of the breast in magnetic resonance tomography. A case report].

The invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast, the incidence of which is 10-15 per cent, occupies a special position in respect of histological differentiation and biological behaviour. No MR signal enhancement was seen after contrast medium application in the tumoral tissue in the case described here, namely, an invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast of 2 cm size. Hence, it is not always possible to exclude with absolute certainty the presence especially of an invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast in the absence of contrast medium uptake.
