Capsule of gas-produced powder used in CT examination of gastro-enterology / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To design capsule of gas-produced powder.Methods Glutin capsule was prepared with 0.50g gas-produced powder medicine packed in.Objects were divided randomly into three groups,and were given 2,5,10 grains dose separately.Then every object was scanned by CT and their attitudes were investigated on taking the medicine.Results 2 grains dose produced less gas,and stomach cavity were not filly distended;5,10 grains dose produced more gas,and stomach cavity were filly distended.After 5 minutes,CT image displayed capsule did not produce gas fully;after 10 to 15 minutes,capsule produced gas fully;after 20 minutes,gas decreased.Objects could accept 2 or 5 grains dose,but unwillingly accepted 10 grains dose.Conclusion Capsule of gas-produced powder produces gas steadily and lasts long.5 grains dose is suggested and the patient should take scan 10~15 minutes after taking capsules.

Application of Gas-Contrasted and Window Technic in Diagnosing Gastro-Colon Lesion with CT / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To study the Value of low dose CT scanning with gas-contrasted and low window level in diagnosing gastro-colon lesions.Methods 126 cases suspected with gastro-colon lesions were randomly devided into two groups,group A(69 cases) were scanned with conventional water-contrast or non-contrast and conventional expose dose,and with conventional window level,group B(57 cases) were scanned with gas-contrasted and low expose dose,and using low window level.The images were evaluated by 2 experienced radiologists,the results including doctor's self-confidence and diagnostic accurate rate in both group A and group B were compared based on the endoscopic results.Results The diagnostic self-confidence of radiologists and the accurate rate in evaluating the lesions in group B were obviously superior to group A.Conclusion CT scanning of gastro-colon with gas-contrasted,low expose dose and low window level is markedly superior to conventional one.

CT Diagnosis and Classification of Lumbar Spine Degenerative Disease:1180 Cases / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To analyse CT signs of lumbar spinal degenerative diseases.Methods CT findings of lumbar spine in 1180 cases with degenerative disease lumbocrural pain were analysed.CT classification of degenerative disease of lumbar spine was carried out according to the lumbar structures in combination with clinical sign.Results Lumbar spinal degenerative disease could be classified into 6 types:intervertebral disc degeneration(degenerative rate 65.3%);lumbar vertebra degeneration(degenerative rate 48.1%);vertebra facet joint degeneration(degenerative rate 36.0%);ligment degeneration(degenerative rate 25.4%) ;degenerative stenosis of lumbar spinal canal(degenerative rate 44.0%);and degenerative lumbar spine unstability(degenerative rate 25.0%).The former 4 types were belonged to primary degeneration of lumbar spine,the latter 2 types were belonged to secondary degeneration of lumbar spine.Conclusion CT classification of lumbar spinal degenerative disease is helpful to clinic in diagnosis and therapy.
