RESUMO

Resumen La neumatización detenida de los senos paranasales es una condición benigna poco conocida, que consiste en una variación de la neumatización normal, permaneciendo médula ósea grasa dentro de la cavidad, siendo más frecuente en el seno esfenoidal. Es generalmente asintomática y su diagnóstico suele ser incidental en el contexto de la realización de imágenes por otras causas, existiendo criterios imagenológicos definidos para esta condición. Su manejo es expectante y es esencial su distinción de otros diagnósticos diferenciales, con objeto de evitar procedimientos y tratamientos invasivos que solo aporten morbilidad. Presentamos dos casos de pacientes, de 15 y 16 años que, en estudio imagenológico por otra causa, se observan lesiones esfenoidales heterogéneas con focos de baja señal sugerentes de calcificaciones, con características compatibles con neumatización detenida del seno esfenoidal.


Abstract Arrested pneumatization of the paranasal sinuses is an under-recognized benign condition, which consists of a variation of the normal pneumatization, with fatty bone marrow remaining within the cavity, more frequent in the sphenoid sinus. It is generally asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is usually incidental in the context of imaging for other causes, with defined imaging criteria for this condition. Its management is expectant and its distinction from other differential diagnoses is essential, in order to avoid invasive procedures and treatments that only contribute morbidity. We present two cases of 15- and 16-year-old patients who, on imaging for another reason, show heterogeneous sphenoid lesions with low-signal foci suggestive of calcifications, with characteristics compatible with arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: We aimed to evaluate the morphology of normal lacrimal gland in three different axes in a Turkish population sample by using magnetic resonance (MR) images in relation to sex, age, and side. Cranial MR images obtained by 3 Tesla MR unit of 85 individuals (40 female, 45 male; mean age 42.20±23.30 years; age range 2-83 years) performed in Göztepe Medical Park Hospital between December 2015 and July 2017 for non-orbital diseases were evaluated retrospectively. Anteroposterior, craniocaudal, and transverse dimensions of the lacrimal gland were measured on axial, coronal, and sagittal planes of MR images, and were evaluated in relation to side, age, and sex. Axial transverse and sagittal craniocaudal dimensions of lacrimal gland were significantly greater in the right side, as the coronal craniocaudal and sagittal anteroposterior dimensions were greater in the left side. Female and male individuals showed differences in terms of right-left sides in most of the parameters. In Spearman's correlation analysis, age of individuals was negatively correlated with left axial anteroposterior (r=-0.347, p=0.020), left axial transverse (r=-0.439, p=0.003), left coronal transverse (r=-0.429, p=0.003), and right coronal transverse (r=-0.436, p=0.003) dimensions of lacrimal gland. This is the first study determining certain morphometric parameters of the lacrimal gland in Turkish population sample. The side of lacrimal gland, and sex and age of individuals affect its dimensions. On the basis of reference measurements in the present study, orbital MR imaging can be used for the evaluation of lacrimal gland and its pathologies.


RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la morfología de la glándula lagrimal normal en tres ejes diferentes en una muestra de población turca, mediante el uso de imágenes de resonancia magnética (RM) en relación con el sexo, la edad y lados izquierdos- derechos. Las imágenes RM obtenidas por RM 3 Tesla, en 85 individuos (40 mujeres y 45 hombres, edad media 42.20 ± 23.30 años, rango de edad entre 2 y 83 años) se realizaron en Göztepe Medical Park Hospital, entre diciembre de 2015 y julio de 2017. Considerando las enfermedades no orbitales, estas fueron evaluadas retrospectivamente. Se midieron las dimensiones anteroposterior, craneocaudal y transversal de la glándula lagrimal en los planos axial, coronal y sagital de las imágenes, y se evaluaron en relación con el lado, la edad y el sexo. Las dimensiones craneocaudal axiales transversales y sagitales de la glándula lagrimal fueron significativamente mayores en el lado derecho, y las dimensiones craneocaudal y anteroposterior sagital coronal fueron mayores en el lado izquierdo. Individuos femeninos y masculinos mostraron diferencias en términos de lados derecho-izquierdo en la mayoría de los parámetros. En el análisis de correlación de Spearman, la edad de los individuos se correlacionó negativamente con el anteroposterior axial izquierdo (r = -0.347, p = 0.020), transversal axial izquierdo (r = -0.439, p = 0.003), transversal coronal izquierdo (r = -0.429, p = 0.003), y las dimensiones transversales coronales derechas (r = -0.436, p = 0.003) de la glándula lagrimal. Este es el primer estudio que determina ciertos parámetros morfométricos de la glándula lagrimal en la muestra de la población turca. El lado de la glándula lagrimal, y el sexo y la edad de los individuos afectan sus dimensiones. En el presente estudio basado en las mediciones de referencia, la RM orbital se puede utilizar para la evaluación de la glándula lagrimal y sus patologías.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe how a robust implementation of a radial 3D gradient-echo sequence with stack-of-stars sampling can be achieved, to review the imaging properties of radial acquisitions, and to share the experience from more than 5000 clinical patient scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A radial stack-of-stars sequence was implemented and installed on 9 clinical MR systems operating at 1.5 and 3 Tesla. Protocols were designed for various applications in which motion artifacts frequently pose a problem with conventional Cartesian techniques. Radial scans were added to routine examinations without selection of specific patient cohorts. RESULTS: Radial acquisitions show significantly lower sensitivity to motion and allow examinations during free breathing. Elimination of breath-holding reduces failure rates for non-compliant patients and enables imaging at higher resolution. Residual artifacts appear as streaks, which are easy to identify and rarely obscure diagnostic information. The improved robustness comes at the expense of longer scan durations, the requirement for fat suppression, and the nonexistence of a time-to-center value. Care needs to be taken during the configuration of receive coils. CONCLUSION: Routine clinical use of radial stack-of-stars sequences is feasible with current MR systems and may serve as substitute for conventional fat-suppressed T1-weighted protocols in applications where motion is likely to degrade the image quality.
