MRT bei chronischer Epicondylitis humeri radialis an einem 1,0 T-Gerät - Kontrastmittelgabe notwendig?
T: Is Gd-DTPA administration useful Purpose: Evaluation of the diagnostic value and confidence of contrast-enhanced MR imaging in patients with lateral epicondylitis in comparison to clinical diagnosis. Material and Methods: 42 consecutive patients with clinically proven chronic lateral epicondylitis and 10 ellbow joints of healthy controls have been examined on a 1.0 T MR-unit. Criteria for inclusion in the prospective study were: persistant pain and a failed conservative therapy. The MR protocol included STIR sequence, a native, T 2 -weighted, fat-supressed TSE sequence, and a Flash-2-D sequence. Also, fatsupressed, T 1 -weighted SE sequences before and after administration of Gd-DTPA con…
Sonographische Verlaufskontrolle von experimentellen Muskelverletzungen
Experimental muscle lesions were produced in 28 rabbits by stab incision, thus creating a lesion of known extent and site. The changes in the course of healing were followed up and documented at short intervals for a period of two months via sonography. The changes take place in regular course and can be explained by fine tissue changes, taking into consideration the fundamentals of theoretical ultrasound physics. Sonography renders both valuable assistance in diagnosing muscular lesions and in following up the healing process--the latter, however, with some reservations due to the clinical terminology defining the extent of muscular lesions.
Die Sonoanatomie des Spinalkanales der LWS
UNLABELLED Results of an Experimental Study and Report of Intraoperative Application: AIM Intraoperative sonography has been used in neurosurgery (especially in tumors) and in traumatology (assess reduction of dorsal vertebral body fragments). This study was performed to determine the value of sonography in detecting vertebral disc tissue. RESULTS We examined 6 specimens of the Lumbar spine using the extended flavectomy approach. We found that sono-anatomy was reproducible and that the assessable area was large enough to make sonography useful for detection of sequesters. Dislocated vertebral disc tissue could be differentiated clearly from original disc tissue and from other intraspinal st…
Intraoperative Sonographie bei lumbalen Bandscheibenvorfällen
UNLABELLED Intraoperative ultrasound of the spine has been used in neurosurgery (tumours) and traumatology (reposition of fractured vertebral bodies fragments). AIM To describe initial experiences with this method and to document the opportunities and problems. METHOD 24 nucleotomies were documented and evaluated. Sonography was performed using a 7.5 MHz sector probe and a typical surgical approach. RESULTS In 21 of 24 cases, imaging of intraspinal structures was possible. The complete extraction of the herniated disk could be documented. In 3 cases the examination failed because the probe was too large to be pushed down between the spinous processes and the wound retractor to the operative…
