Anthrazyklin-induzierte Kardiotoxizität: MRT des Herzens bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit malignen Erkrankungen
2004
Purpose: Quantification of left and right ventricular function using MRI in young cancer patients treated with cardiotoxic anthracyclines. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight patients (mean age 16.4 years) underwent cardiac MRI at 1.5 T. The study protocol consisted of morphologic T2-weighted images with fat suppression and cine steady-state free precession sequences (SSFP) for functional analysis. Seven patients were examined at the end of chemotherapy, two of them also repeatedly during therapy, and 21 patients following an average period of three years after finishing chemotherapy (range one month - 20 years) Results: The end-systolic volume index increased and the ejection fraction of t…
Beziehung zwischen Kopfumfang und sonographischer Morphometrie der Ventrikelstrukturen im Neugeborenen- und Säuglingsalter
2001
AIM: To determine normal values of sonographic measurements of the brain in neonates and infants. METHOD: Cerebral ultrasonographic examinations were performed in 143 healthy newborns and infants. The size of the ventricles was determined by ascertaining distances as well as performing planimetric measurements of the ventricular area and circumference in standardized planes. RESULTS: Throughout the course of the study we observed a continous increase in size and a strong correlation with head circumference. The middle coronary plane used for the measurements allows the accurate representation of the ventricles and a more objective assessment of size. CONCLUSION: Based on the morphometric da…
