ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines in medical imaging.Methods:Medical imaging guidelines were searched in CNKI, Wanfang data, CBM, Web of Science, PubMed, and other guideline-related websites. The search period is from January 1, 2017 to February 26, 2022. According to the reporting items for practice guidelines in healthcare (RIGHT) checklist, two researchers separately extracted information from the included guidelines and evaluated the reporting quality, and cross-checked them.Results:Eighteen guidelines in Chinese were included. The average reporting rate was (56.2±14.3) %. The reporting rate of basic information in Domain 1 (75.9%, 82/108) and other information in Domain 7 (68.5%, 37/54) were the highest, while funding and declaration and management of interests in Domain 6 (25.0%, 18/72) had the lowest reporting rate. The included guidelines had a lower reporting rate in item 2 (executive summary of recommendations, 27.8%, 5/18), item 11a (type of systematic review on which the guideline is based, 5.6%, 1/18), item 14a (patient preferences and values, 22.2%, 4/18), item 15 (evidence to decision processes recommendations, 22.2%, 4/18), and item 16 (external review, 16.7%, 3/18).Conclusions:The overall reporting quality of medical imaging guidelines needs to be improved. It is recommended that future guideline developers master the guideline research and evaluation tools, such as the RIGHT statement, and fully report the details and key information to improve the transparency and comprehensiveness of the guidelines.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To re-identify the anatomical features of singular nerve canal (SNC) through observing and measuring the morphological characteristics of SNC using ultra-high resolution CT (U-HRCT).Methods:The U-HRCT images of 52 human head specimens (104 ears) from December 2019 to January 2020 were obtained. The best standard cross-sectional and coronal images of SNC were reconstructed. The morphology of the main trunk and branches of the SNC were observed. According to the number of turning points, the trunks of SNC were divided into single turning point type, double turning point type and no turning point type. According to the branch morphology, the branched SNC were divided into bifurcated type, confluent type, side branch type and bilateral branch type. The diameter, angle and length of each section of the posterior canal ampulla (PCA) of the main trunk, the turning point and the internal auditory meatus (IAM) were measured. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to test group differences of main trunk diameter of the SNC with or without branches. Results:Totally 104 ears of 52 cases were divided into single turning point type of 79 ears, double turning point type of 20 ears and no turning point type of 5 ears. The bilateral morphological classification was the same in 30 cases (60 ears), including 24 cases of single turning point type (48 ears), 5 cases of double turning point type (10 ears), and 1 case of no turning point type (2 ears). The ear morphology on both sides was different in 22 cases (44 ears). The diameters of the PCA, the turning point and the IAM of SNC with single turning point type were (0.31±0.07), (0.40±0.10), (0.46±0.10) mm, respectively, and the angles were 60.5°±7.8°, 120.3°±9.6°, 38.3°±7.5° respectively. And the length of the PCA and the IAM in the SNC with single turning point type were (1.95±0.38), (2.31±0.68) mm, respectively. The diameters of the PCA, the turning point near the PCA, the turning point near the IAM and the IAM of SNC with double turning point type were (0.32±0.09), (0.38±0.09), (0.47±0.12), (0.47±0.13) mm, and the angle were 60.9° (57.3°, 64.9°), 117.9°±12.3°, 129.6°±12.4°, 41.7° (32.9°, 79.5°), respectively. The length of the PCA, the IAM and the distance between these two turning points were (1.78±0.31), 0.65 (0.46, 1.15), 0.96 (0.80, 1.15) mm, respectively. The diameters of the PCA and the IAM of SNC without turning point type were (0.20±0.01) and (0.50±0.12) mm. The angles with the PCA and the IAM in these cases were 58.4°±9.6° and 46.2°±5.1°, and the length was (3.61±0.32) mm. A total of 48 ears had branches, including bifurcated type (36 ears), confluence type (4 ears), side branch type (5 ears) and bilateral branch type (3 ears). In the SNC group with single turning point, the diameter of the turning point in the cases without branches was wider than that of cases with branches ( t=2.11, P=0.039). However, there was no significant difference in the diameter of each section between these two subgroups of SNC cases with double turning point type. Conclusions:U-HRCT is able to clearly show the SNC, the imaging features of whom are variable and should be re-understood.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate microstructural damage in high myopia (HM) patients using 3T diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). @*Materials and Methods@#This prospective study included 30 HM patients and 33 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) with DKI. Kurtosis parameters including kurtosis fractional anisotropy (FA), mean kurtosis (MK), axial kurtosis (AK), and radial kurtosis (RK) as well as diffusion metrics including FA, mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity derived from DKI were obtained. Group differences in these metrics were compared using tract-based spatial statistics. Partial correlation analysis was used to evaluate correlations between microstructural changes and disease duration. @*Results@#Compared to HCs, HM patients showed significantly reduced AK, RK, MK, and FA and significantly increased AD, predominately in the bilateral corticospinal tract, right inferior longitudinal fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and left thalamus (all p < 0.05, threshold-free cluster enhancement corrected). In addition, DKI-derived kurtosis parameters (AK, RK, and MK) had negative correlations (r = -0.448 to -0.376, all p < 0.05) and diffusion parameter (AD) had positive correlations (r = 0.372 to 0.409, all p < 0.05) with disease duration. @*Conclusion@#HM patients showed microstructural alterations in the brain regions responsible for motor conduction and visionrelated functions. DKI is useful for detecting white matter abnormalities in HM patients, which might be helpful for exploring and monitoring the pathogenesis of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the incidence and occurrence time of gallstone disease after bariatric surgery.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 187 patients with morbid obesity who underwent bariatric surgery in the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from Dec. 2017 to Aug. 2019. All patients did not receive prophylactic ursodeoxycholic acid. All patients were underwent abdominal ultrasound and MRI examination preoperatively, and at least one abdominal ultrasound, MRI examination postoperatively. The incidence and occurrence time of gallstones and biliary sludge in patients with different bariatric surgery were analyzed respectively. Measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were described as mean ± standard deviation ( Mean± SD). Measurement data consistent with skewed distribution were described as median (lower quartile, upper quartile). Counting data were described as a percentage (%). Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison among groups, and then Bonferroni correction was used for pairwise comparison. Results:The follow-up time was up to Dec. 31, 2020, with a median follow-up time of 27.0 (22.0, 31.0) months. Thirty-four patients (18.2%, 34/187) developed gallstones after bariatric surgery. Individually, it was 18.0%(30/167) in LSG group, 22.2%(2/9) in LRYGB group, 11.1%(1/9) in LOAGB group and 50.0%(1/2) in LOAGB revisional surgery group. Eighteen patients (9.6%, 18/187) were found biliary sludge formation, among which 8.4% (14/167), 22.2% (2/9), and 22.2% (2/9) underwent LSG, LRYGB, and LOAGB, respectively. The rates of weight loss and BMI loss in patients with postoperative gallstone-formation were 21.4 (18.7, 23.6)% and 21.4 (18.6, 23.5) %, respectively. Three patients (1.6%, 3/187) had newly developed symptomatic gallstones, and all of them underwent LSG. The mean occurrence time for biliary sludge and gallstone was 85.5 (28.8, 98.8) and 103.5 (93.0, 179.3) days, respectively. Statistical difference in occurrence time was only found between postoperative gallstone and biliary sludge formation ( P=0.009). Conclusion:Without drug intervention, the incidence of gallstone after bariatric surgery was about 18.2% (34/187), which requires close clinical attention. Abdominal ultrasonography and the T2WI sequence of upper abdominal MRI can help to diagnose gallstone and monitor its changes.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To verify the ability of the newly developed ultra-high resolution CT (U-HRCT) for displaying the fine bony anatomy of temporal bone.Methods:The cone-beam CT architecture was used on U-HRCT. The focus size of X-ray generator was 0.27 mm × 0.29 mm, the rated tube voltage was 60-100 kV, and the unit size of flat panel detector was 0.074 8 mm×0.074 8 mm. From October to December 2019, 16 adult head specimens (32 temporal bones, provided by Huanghe University of Science and Technology) were imaged using U-HRCT. The scanning mode was small-field-of-view and high-resolution scanning for unilateral temporal bone. The scanning parameters were: voltage 100 kV, current 3.5 mA, rotation time 40 s, reconstructed field of view 65 mm×65 mm, voxel size 0.1 mm×0.1 mm×0.1 mm, layer number 370, slice thickness 0.1 mm, and slice interval 0.1 mm. The ultimate spatial resolution of the system was detected using a phantom with line pair card, after the scanning with the same parameters. Through multi-planar reconstruction and minimum intensity projection method, a total of 6 anatomical positions of 4 structures (stapes footplate, cochlear axis bottom, vestibular aqueduct internal orifice and isthmus, cochlear aqueduct internal orifice and auditory sac segment) were scored with 1-3 points. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the difference of bilateral scores of each structure.Results:The phantom test results showed that the ultimate spatial resolution of the system was ≥4.0 lp/mm. The scores of stapes footplate, cochlear axis bottom and vestibular aqueduct internal orifice were ≥2 points, with a display rate of 100%. The display rates of vestibular aqueduct isthmus, cochlear aqueduct internal orifice and auditory sac segment were 87.5% (28/32), 71.9% (23/32) and 53.1% (17/32), respectively. There were no significant differences in left and right scores of all anatomical structures ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The newly developed U-HRCT has good display ability for fine bony anatomy of temporal bone and has great clinical application potential.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the relationship between internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and ipsilateral retinal vascular calibers,and to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of changes of retinal vascular calibers for assessment of ICA stenosis.Methods Unilateral ICA and ipsilateral retinal vascular of 243 patients were enrolled based on CTA and fundus imaging.Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the highest ICA stenosis rate (Rmax),i.e.no stenosis group,mild stenosis group,moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis group.The differences of retinal vascular calibers among four groups and correlation between retinal vascular calibers and ICA stenosis were analyzed.Results The average central retinal vein equivalents (CRVE) in moderate ICA stenosis group and severe stenosis group were significantly wider than those in the other two groups (all P<0.05).There was no statistical significance of central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE) nor retinal arteriolar-to-venular ratio (AVR) among groups (both P>0.05).Rmax was positively correlated with CRVE (r=0.27,P<0.01) and negatively correlated with AVR (r=-0.16,P<0.05),whereas Rmax had no correlation with CRAE (P>0.05).CRVE was the impact factor of ipsilateral Rmax (B=0.243,P<0.01),but the adjusted R2 of the model was weak (0.173).Area under the ROC curve of CRVE was 0.619 in assessing ICA moderate and severe stenosis,and taking threshold as 229.5μm,the sensitivity and specificity was 80.3% and 40.1%,respectively.Conclusion CRVE can assess and predict ICA stenosis to some extent,but the diagnosis efficacy is limited.
