ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the computer tomography (CT) and magnetic res-onance imaging (MRI) features of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) caused by pregnancy-indueed hypertension (PIH). Methods CT scan and MRI scan + diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were used in 31 patients with PIH. Results CT scan found low density lesions in parietal-occipital lobe of watershed regions in 31 patients with PIH. CT value was 19 to 23Hu. Among them, MRI showed slight hypointensity lesions on T1-weighted images and slight hyperintensity lesions on T2-weight images in 11 patients, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence showed hyperintensity lesions, DWI revealed isointense, and apparent diffusion coefficient- did not decrease. The recovery time of clinical symptoms was earlier than that of MRI. Conclusions The lesion sites on cr and MRI had certain characteristics in PIH occurred PRES at late pregnancy, combining clinical history a clear diagnosis could be made.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristics of the dynamic changes of the radiological X-ray images in chest after applying a pulmonary surfactant(PS) named curosurf to hyaline membrane disease in grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ of the premature lungs,and to study the clinical values of the follow-ups with chest films after applying PS to evaluate its effects and to detect the complications in chest. Methods To review the definite cases of HMD in grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ with final clinical and radiological diagnosis so as to analyze the radiological image manifestations in ehest after applying PS to the premature lungs for half an hour, for 6 hours,for 24 hours, for 48 hours and for 5 days. Results Shortly after the application of PS,according to the chest films,just half an hour later, 15 cases improved their degrees of the transmittance of the two lungs; 16 cases progressively ameliorated their manifestations in chest, taking the turn for the better than the previous images; 5 cases had no improvement, among which 1 developed a complication of pulmonary hemorrhage,and 3 developed pulmonary air leakage; 3 eases accompanied with pulmonary inflammation-like lesions; 11 cases presented patent arterial duets(PDA). Generally speaking, the X-ray image manifestation was the same as the clinical symptoms. Conclusion A dynamic observation of the X-ray films in chest after the application of PS is able to make a correct iudgement of the lesions of HMD in grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ,and can promptly detect its complications if taking a short-term review.
