Methods： In 29 patients with gastric carcinoma pathologically conformed, plan scans were done firstly. Two-phase spiral CT was performed within one breathhold each. Distension of the stomach was achieved by intravenous application of anisodamine and effervescent granules. After bolus injection of contrast medium, scanning was performed in the arterial and venous phase, and the source images were thin reconstructed. The stomach to three-dimension analysis was constructed by volume rendering （VR） multiplanaz volume reconstruction （MPVR）, shaded surface display （SSD） and CT virtual gastroscopy （CTVG） technique. In combination with the sources images, gastric tumour invasion and lymph node metastasis was assessed, and TNM staging was performed. Results： In 29 cases of gastric carcinoma, the sensitivity and specificity of two-phase multidetector-row spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique in T1, T2, T3 and Ta staging, the sensitivity and specificity was 50% and 50%, 87.5% and 77.8%, 83.3% and 76.9% and 100% and 80% respectively. For the N staging, the sensitivity and specificity in No, N1, and N2 N3 was 83.3% and 71.4%, 87.5% and 77.8% and 81.8% and 75% respectively. The sensitivity and the specificity for M1 staging was 100%. Conclusion： The reconstruction technique in combination with 16-slices spiral-CT can perform TNM staging well and effectively guide the choice of the surgical procedures for gastric cancer.展开更多
Most implantation cases are implemented using implants selected from the available standard set, but in some cases, only those implants conforming to individual patient's skeletal morphology can serve the purpose....Most implantation cases are implemented using implants selected from the available standard set, but in some cases, only those implants conforming to individual patient's skeletal morphology can serve the purpose. This paper proposes a new approach to design and fabricate custom-made exact-fit medical implants. With a real surgical case as the example,technical design details are presented; and three algorithms are given respectively for segmentation based on object features, triangular mesh defragmentation and mesh cutting.展开更多

The clinical characteristics and CT imaging feature of large cell carcinoma of lung were discussed in this article. Methods: Eight cases of large cell carcinoma of lung proven by post-operational pathology were retrospectively analyzed from 2000 to 2005 and the literature on it was reviewed. Results: All 8 cases were men. The average age of patients was 64.88 years. Seven cases were smokers. Six cases had obvious chest stuffy, short breath, thrill dry cough. Hereinto 3 cases had cardinal red blood sputum. CT images of large cell carcinoma of lung were represented as single and peripheral mass or nodule. The distribution of large cell carcinoma of lung was short of some rule. 75% focus had clear finitude. One case showed internal calcification and 2 cases showed cavity. They did not show internal fat density. Conclusion: Large cell carcinoma of lung is difficult to be diagnosed before operation. Its CT finding is nonspecific.展开更多

METHODS:A total of twenty female volunteers without rectocele were examined by CT scan.We performed a middle level continuous horizontal pelvic scan from the upper part to the lower part and collected the measurement data to analyze the results using t-test. RESULTS:Twenty volunteers were enrolled in the study. The space between the posterior wall of the vagina and the anterior wall of the rectum was measured at three levels(upper 1/3,middle,lower 1/3 level of vagina). The results showed that the space from the posterior wall of the vagina to the anterior wall of the rectum at the upper 1/3 level and the middle level was 3.896 ±0.3617 mm and 4.6575±0.3052 mm,respectively. When the two groups of data were compared,we found the space at the upper 1/3 level was shorter than at the middle level(P<0.01).Moreover,at the lower 1/3 level the space measured was 10.058±0.4534 mm.The results revealed that the space at the lower 1/3 level was longer than that at the middle level(P<0.01). CONCLUSION:These measurement data may be helpful in assessing rectocele clinical diagnosis and functional outcomes of rectocele repair.展开更多

The results of CTC were compared with those of a pathological examination.RESULTS Among the 22 patients who were diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma by CTC, 20 cases were confirmed by pathology. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% （20/20） and 84.6% （11/13） respec- tively. The accuracy of showing carcinoma pathologic patterns was 90% （18/20）. The sensitivity and specificity were both 100% in the mass type; 77.8% and 100% in the infiltrating type; 100% and 85.7% in the ulcerated type. The accuracy of staging Dukes＇ carcinbma was 75%. The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94.1% for Dukes＇A; 80% and 73.3% for Dukes＇ B： 60% and 100% in Dukes＇ C： 71.4% and 100% for Dukes＇ D.CONCLUSION CTC produces a high success rate and provides considerable diagnostic information for both an accurate diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma and staging before operation,展开更多

Methods: CT reports of 8 patients with proven primary large bowel lymphoma were retrospectively reviewed. Plain CT scans were done on all patients, enhanced CT scans simultaneously with 5-10 mm section thickness, and 5-10 mm table increments in 6 cases. Results: Primary involved sites were on the cecum (n=3), the ascending colon (n=2), and the rectum (n=1). The tumor was found in multiple areas of the large bowel in 2 cases. CT appearance fell into 3 typical patterns in our study. The first was focal mass type in 2 cases, with one combined with intussusception and retroperitoneal adenopathy; the second was segmental annular involvement type in 3 cases, with one of them combined with mesenteric adenopathy; the last was diffuse involvement type in 2 cases. Multiple nodules were seen in the rectum in 1 case. Conclusion: CT was found to be accurate in detecting the primary sites and complications of lymphoma, and evaluating invasion of adjacent structures; Focal mass type, segmental annular involvement type and diffuse involvement type are the main patterns of CT features in the primary large bowel lymphoma; The features revealed by CT scan are suggestive of primary large bowel lymphoma in some cases.展开更多
