Intravaskuläre Sonographie: Erste klinische Ergebnisse
1991
Intravascular ultrasound is a new diagnostic modality which, for the first time, provides high resolution images of the vessel wall. 91 intraluminal ultrasound studies were performed in 50 patients during the course of 55 diagnostic and therapeutic catheterizations. A F-6 ultrasound catheter (20 MHz) was used. The method is an easily and rapidly performed addition to angiography. Changes in vessel walls (arteriosclerosis, dissection, tumour infiltration) can be readily diagnosed and their extent can be accurately described. The ability to determine luminal cross sectional area is particularly helpful for planning and performing therapeutic interventions.
The use of contrast echocardiography: a matter of clinical judgement
2005
In their editorial, Buck and Erbel1 raise the important question in which settings application of contrast agents to an echocardiographic examination is appropriate. There is no doubt that the beauty of echocardiography relates to its ease of use. We should acknowledge that highest accuracy in the determination of left ventricular function is not necessary in most patients referred for an echocardiographic evaluation. Thus, contrast echocardiography will not be a technique to be used in all patients for mere evaluation of left ventricular function as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will not be used in routine clinical practice only for its known superb accuracy. However, there are patien…
Analysis of Regional Left Ventricular Function by Cineventriculography, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Unenhanced and Contrast-Enhanced Echo…
2006
OBJECTIVES To define the use of cineventriculography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), and unenhanced and contrast-enhanced echocardiography for detection of left ventricular (LV) regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA). BACKGROUND Detection of RWMA is integral to the evaluation of LV function. METHODS In 100 patients, cineventriculography and unenhanced and contrast-enhanced echocardiography were performed. Fifty-six of the patients underwent additional cMRI. RWMA were assessed referring to a 16-segment model for cMRI, unenhanced and contrast echocardiography. Cineventriculography was evaluated on a 7-segment model. Hypokinesia in one or more segments defined presence of RWMA. …
Intravoxel incoherent motion derived liver perfusion/diffusion readouts can be reliable biomarker for the detection of viral hepatitis B induced live…
2019
Background: Recent two studies reported that intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis can separate healthy livers and viral hepatitis B (VHB) induced liver fibrosis. However, in these two studies the starting b-value for bi-exponential decay analysis was b =10 and b =15 s/mm 2 respectively. The current study has two primary aims. The first is to further confirm the diagnostic value of IVIM in detecting liver fibrosis. The second is to test whether by sampling very low b-value densely, then b =0 s/mm 2 image could be included to improve IVIM’s diagnostic performance. Methods: This was a prospective study with data acquired at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changs…

Clinical significance of the quantitative and qualitative determination of the cerebral blood flow through the use of isotopes
1966
Es wird über die bisher entwickelten Methoden zur bestimmung der Hirndurchblutung mit radioaktiven Isotopen berichtet, wobei die quantitativen Untersuchungsmethoden hinsichtlich ihrer klinischen Bedeutung den qualitativen gegenübergestellt werden. Während die quantitativen Methoden eine genaue Bestimmung des cerebralen Blutvolumens und damit der Gesamtdurchblutung des Hirns bzw. bestimmter Hirnareale ermöglichen, bieten die qualitativen Untersuchungsmethoden hinsichtlich der klinisch-diagnostischen Aussagekraft besondere Vorteile. Aus der Bestimmung der Zirkulationszeit des Hirns und dem Verlauf der über beiden Hemisphären registrierten Aktivitätskurven lassen sich differenzial-diagnostisch…
Case Report: Unusual Clinical Presentation of a Rare Cardiac Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor in Children: The Differential Diagnosis With Pediatri…
2021
Introduction: There are still no guidelines about pediatric cardiac cancers. The purpose of this work is to provide new scientific data facilitating the differential diagnosis of a rare cardiac tumor with an unusual presentation, such as the cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT).Case Presentation: A 3-year-old male child presented with several symptoms including unconsciousness, vomiting, and drowsiness. A clinical and neurological examination revealed a unilateral (right) motor delay and positive unilateral Babinski sign. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal.Diagnostic Assessment: The total body computed tomography (CT) scans showed hypodensity in the left temporal–parietal lobe, …
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the guide of cardiac mass biopsy
2017
Cardiac tumors are rare. Cardiovascular imaging is more important in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses but no current noninvasive diagnostic tool has the ability to absolutely diagnose cardiac tumors. In effect cardiac biopsy remains the gold standard in the differential diagnosis. In our case we show the advantages of three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography as a guide for cardiac biopsy. We believe that 3D TEE is ready to be used in the guide of cardiac mass biopsy. Once interventionalists become confident with 3D imaging, this technique should be used routinely during these procedures.
