ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods 37 cases of full-term neonates diagnosed as HIE by pediatricians and 12 normal neonates were selected.All subjects underwent MRI and DTI at 3.0 Tesla.The correlation of FA value in posterior limb of internal capsule and neonatal NBNA score was examined.Results The FA values in posterior limb of internal capsule, splenium had significant difference between the HIE group (mild group, moderate group, severe group) and control group (P0.05).The FA in posterior limb of internal capsule and NBNA score(12-14 d;26-28 d)showed significant correlation (r=0.96,P<0.05),as well as the sequelae shape (r=0.87,P<0.05).Conclusion DTI is promising for early diagnosis of anisotropic index changes to evaluate HIE brain damage and prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the role of MRI in diagnosis and for the placenta previa and implantation presented negative in ultrasound.Methods Patients of placenta previa without placenta implantation confirmed by ultrasound were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into A and B groups according to different treatment stages.A group underwent uterine segment cesarean section directly without MRI.B group underwent MRI scan first.And the MRI positive patients (B1 group) got abdominal aortic balloon temporarily block technique combined with the lower uterine segment cesarean section,if necessary,uterine artery embolization.The negative ones (B2 group) got uterine segment cesarean section directly.The placenta implantation was diagnosed by operation and (or) pathology.The maternal blood loss and hysterectomy rate between A and B group were compared.Results The sensitivity and specificity of MRI scan in placenta implantation was 0.75 and 0.916.The blood loss showed significant difference (P＜0.001).Hysterectomy rates presented no significant difference (P＞0.05).Conclusion When the ultrasound only showed placenta previa without implantation,the further test of MRI scan could detect the placenta implantation patients.After diagnosed by MRI,obstetrics and gynecology jointly intervene could effectively reduce the blood loss,or reduce the rate of hysterectomy.
