Quality Control Test of Transcranial MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Treatment System before Surgery / 中国医疗器械杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the pre-treatment preventive maintenance and quality control procedure of MRI system and transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) treatment system by monitoring quality control of these two systems.@*METHODS@#The general performance index and image quality control index of MRI system, as well as the quality assurance program of TcMRgFUS EXABLATE 4000 system were tested and recorded.@*RESULTS@#The general performance index and image quality control index of MRI system met requirements.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Through system detection, the system performance could be monitored, ensuring the accuracy and safety of surgery.

Value of improved photography position for post-operative evaluation of proximal humeral fracture / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To compare the values of two photography positions for the evaluation after locking plate implantation of the proximal humeral fracture patient.Methods Totally 200 proximal humeral frature patients after locking plate implantation had the front and lateral shoulder joint X-ray films with the conventional and improved photography positions analyzed retrospectively.Post-operative evaluation was carried out with double-blind method from the aspects of morphology of humeral head,condition of locking plate and screw,humeral head angle and bone cortex around humerus.Results Improved photography position behaved better than the conventional position in displaying morphology of humeral head,condition of locking plate and screw,humeral head angle and bone cortex around humerus.Conclusion Improved photography position is recommended to photograph the lateral side of the locking plate for post-operative evaluation.
