Abstract

A method for producing calculated T1 images with high signal-to-noise ratio and good spatial resolution using surface coils is presented. Separate transmit and receive rf coils with electronic decoupling are employed to insure uniform B1 excitation. The sensitivity profile of the receiver coil is normalized out of the image by the T1 calculation. T1 values determined by this method show close agreement with previously reported values.

[Primary care of fractures of the extremities].

The initial care of a fractured bone provided by the general physician includes reduction followed by immobilization and the treatment of pain. Open fractures must be covered by a sterile dressing, prior to the transportation of the patient to a hospital. Depending upon the severity of the injury, further treatment is provided by an orthopedic surgeon or in an appropriate hospital.

[Fractures of the extremities--surgical or conservative treatment?].

When a fracture of an extremity has been established, the question immediately arises: should it be treated conservatively or surgically? For each of these options the three "R's" of fracture treatment apply "reduction, retention, rehabilitation". In humans, the most common fracture is that of the distal radius, which is usually amenable to conservative treatment. A fracture of the ankle is treated conservatively only when it is stable with no syndesmotic injury, and the fragments are in good alignment. Should surgical treatment be necessary, stabilization is accomplished with a plate and screws. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the options must be weighed up on an individual basis.
