Simultaneous bilateral foot reconstruction using a single radial forearm flap.

Abstract

The radial forearm septocutaneous flap is an excellent source of thin tissue with an anatomically consistent network of large vessels that simplify microsurgical transfer. It may be divided into multiple flaps leaving a single donor-site defect. The clinical usefulness of this concept is demonstrated in a single case in which simultaneous coverage of electrical burns of both feet was required.

9.4T human MRI: preliminary results.

This work reports the preliminary results of the first human images at the new high-field benchmark of 9.4T. A 65-cm-diameter bore magnet was used together with an asymmetric 40-cm-diameter head gradient and shim set. A multichannel transmission line (transverse electromagnetic (TEM)) head coil was driven by a programmable parallel transceiver to control the relative phase and magnitude of each channel independently. These new RF field control methods facilitated compensation for RF artifacts attributed to destructive interference patterns, in order to achieve homogeneous 9.4T head images or localize anatomic targets. Prior to FDA investigational device exemptions (IDEs) and internal review board (IRB)-approved human studies, preliminary RF safety studies were performed on porcine models. These data are reported together with exit interview results from the first 44 human volunteers. Although several points for improvement are discussed, the preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of safe and successful human imaging at 9.4T.
