ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the features of coronary artery morphological changes and left ventricular function indicators of resident population in plateau .Methods 50 plateau healthy adults and 50 plain‐and Dalian‐healthy volunteers completed coronary CTA examination .We measured the pipe diameter of left main coronary atery and right coronary artery and their branches ,respec‐tively .Furthermore ,SV and EF value of left ventricular cardiac function indexes and the wall thickening of free ventricular wall at left ventricular end systolic were measured .Results The average diameter of proximal right coronary of plain‐and Dalian‐healthy volun‐teers thicker than plateau group ,with statistical difference ;Other coronary artery branch did not exhibit any significant between‐group differences ;The two groups did not show significant between‐group differences with heart function indexes .Conclusion The body circulation system have adaptability and compensatory changes of resident population in plateau ,and their coronary artery mor‐phology and left ventricular function are as similar as plain people .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate imaging findings of primary laryngeal amyloidosis in order to improve the diagnosis of this disease.Methods Findings of plain CT and contrast enhanced CT scanning of three cases of laryngeal amyloidosis confirmed by biop-sy were investigated.Results Of the three cases,one case was located,two cases was diffused.The pharyngeal stenosis,bronchus in-vasion and calcification were showed in one case respectively.All the three cases showed mild homogenous enhancement similaryly. Of the three patients,one case was hospitalized by hoarseness and a serious sense of obstruction,and two cases by feeling pharyngeal pain.Conclusion This disease is rare ,and difficult differentiated from laryngeal carcinoma,but a correct diagnosis can be obtained by combining the CT findings with clinical manifestation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the X-ray and CT features of anterior mediastinal lymphoma.Methods 11 cases with lymphoma of anterior mediastinal confirmed by pathology were collected,the X-ray and CT features were reviewed.Results The tumors in all cases appeared as anterior mediastinal tumor,among them,the tumors in six cases grew at anterior mediastinum bilaterally and in five cases at one-side.There were soft tissue nodi around tumor in eleven cases,superior vena cava were involved in 6,neighborhood blood vessel embed by tumors in 5,pleural effusion could be seen in 3,combined with hydropericardium in one.Conclusion The anterior mediastinal lymphomas have certain imaging characteristics,most of them can be distinguish from other anterior mediastinal malignant tumors if one analysing their imaging features carefuly.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the accuracy of staging gastric cancer with multi slice spiral CT (MSCT) .Methods MSCT,3D reformation images and CTVE were performed in 39 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by gastroscopy and biopsy.The MSCT images were compared with the pathological findings.Results The accuracy of staging gastric cancer by MSCT in combination with 3D reformation images and CTVE was 86.7%. Conclusion The accuracy of staging gastric cancer by MSCT in combination with 3D reformative images and CTVE is very high.It is valuable to be extended clinically.
