Intérêt de l’imagerie hybride TEMP/TDM dans la localisation des glandes parathyroïdes ectopiques : à propos de 3 cas

The presence of a parathyroid gland in ectopic position constitutes one of the leading causes of surgery failure. For this purpose, scintigraphy takes a major place in the anatomical localization of pathological parathyroid and so facilitates its treatment. The advent of hybrid cameras combining single photon emission tomography to CT (SPECT/CT) has further strengthened the contribution of this imaging modality in the precise localization of ectopic parathyroid and its anatomical relationships. The objective of our work is to illustrate the interest of hybrid imaging SPECT/CT, compared to planar scintigraphy and ultrasounds within the framework of primary hyperparathyroidism, particularly ectopic situation through three cases.     

Apport de la TEMP/TDM pour la détection du ganglion sentinelle dans les cancers du col utérin et de l’endomètre

The sentinel lymph node procedure is still under evaluation for the management of cervical and endometrial carcinomas. The aim of our study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for preoperative sentinel lymph node mapping in uterine cancers. Sixty-eight patients with cervical (n = 42) or endometrial carcinoma (n = 26) underwent preoperative lymphoscintigraphy for sentinel node mapping. Sentinel node detection rate with conventional planar imaging was similar to that of SPECT/CT (87.1 versus 91.8 %) in the whole cohort. However, SPECT/CT detected a higher number of sentinel nodes in more than one third of patients, affected by either cervical or endometrial carcinoma. The rate of non or insufficiently contributive procedures (lack of uptake or unilateral uptake) in endometrial carcinomas was 47 % with conventional planar imaging, and 30 % with SPECT/CT. Sensitivity of both procedures for the detection of metastatic nodes was 81.8 %, compared to 100 % for the intraoperative combined detection (gamma probe sonde and blue dye). The impact of SPECT/CT for the sentinel lymph node detection in cervical and endometrial carcinomas needs further evaluation. Nevertheless, SPECT/CT may provide additional information when conventional planar imaging detects only unilateral uptake, may improve identification of atypical localizations, and facilitate surgical approach.     

Ostéomyélite de l’apophyse odontoïde : intérêt de la TEP/TDM au 18F-FDG dans le bilan d’extension infectieux à distance

Odontoid process is an atypical and very rare localization of osteomyelitis. We reported the case of a 72-year-old hemodialysed man with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis of the odontoid process. Osteomyelitis was diagnosed at MRI and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. While clinical examination and conventional radiographs were non contributive, ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT also allowed the diagnosis of right foot osteomylitis and multiple vertebral septic localizations. ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT done at month 3 demonstrated a regression of the odontoid and foot hypermetabolic activity. This case illustrates the atypical presentation of this septic localization and the usefulness of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT to perform whole body screening and detect septic metastasis.     

CT诊断用于胰腺癌侵犯胰周动静脉的临床价值分析

目的：探究CT诊断对于胰腺癌侵犯胰周动静脉的临床价值。方法：随机选取在我院就诊的64例胰腺癌患者,在他们进行手术前全在距离肿瘤边缘1cm内的血管进行分期和诊断进而进行螺旋CT检查。结果：经组织学术后病理切片染色发现胰周动脉29条,静脉48条。运用外科手术探查方法发现86条胰周动脉,89条胰周静脉。在这些血管中,有23条动脉、47条静脉经外科手术证实的确是肿瘤侵犯,并且经过CT诊断,我们最终断定为有25条动脉、46条静脉处于1～4级。结论：胰周动、静脉受到侵犯时,具有不同的CT表现特征,因此在利用CT方法判断胰周动、静脉遭受侵犯时应当根据不同情况不同对待。     

在320排螺旋CT双下肢动脉成像中的护理配合效应

目的：探讨320排螺旋CT血管成像（CTA）在行双下肢动脉血管成像过程中,护理配合对的图像质量的影响。方法：将138例患者分为护理组（82例）及对照组（56例）,分别进行320排螺旋CT双下肢血管造影检查,经高压团注造影剂欧乃派克,进行三维重组,获取容积再观（VR）、曲面重组（CPR）和最大密度投影（MIP）图像。对照组的患者只进行口头的训练,没有其他的护理干预措施;实验组进行一系列的护理干预以提高患者的配合,减低在成像过程中的非生理性运动。用工作站进行图像后处理,显示双下肢动脉图像,对其图像质量和影响因素进行分析,并在检查过程中的护理干预加以总结。结果：对照组有2例患者穿刺部位不合理而影响图像质量,对双下肢的病变显示具有一定的影响,3例患者注射压力过高引起外渗,流速在2.5-3.5 ml/s,影响了图像的清晰度,其余均获得满意效果。结论：良好的护理配合有利于320排CT双下肢成像的顺利进行,精心的护理操作是取得检查成功的动脉成像保证。

能谱CT在去除腰椎术后金属伪影中的应用进展

多层计算机断层扫描(Multi-slice computed tomography,MSCT)具有时间及空间分辨率高的特点已经被广泛应用于脊柱术后评价,然而,因为术中植入金属植入物,CT图像由于其成像原理的限制,其图像质量受到金属植入物的严重影响,金属伪影大多来源于量子噪声、散射线和射束硬化效应,降低图像的对比度,使细微解剖结构显示不清,从而使得感兴趣区域的检测能力降低,其图像质量明显下降,甚至使临床医师做出错误的诊断,因此,为了做出更准确的腰椎术后并发症诊断和术后评估,使金属伪影最小化成为关键。能谱CT及其扫描及重建技术可以有效的去除腰椎术后产生的金属伪影,改善图像质量,本文能谱CT在腰椎术后金属伪影去除方面的应用进行综述。
