Both Dyna CT, a rotational faultage reconstructed technique, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) play important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Three-dimensional Dyna CT can provide the spatial information of AVM nidus, while two-dimensional DSA can provide the time information for distinguishing arteries and veins. To illustrate the location relationship of the nidus, arteries and veins at the same time, these two imaging modalities need to be fused. In this paper, a two-dimensional to three-dimensional back projection and growing method is proposed, which realizes the image fusion of two-dimensional DSA and three-dimensional Dyna CT and achieves the differentiation of arteries and veins in Dyna CT. The experimental results showed that the fusion image could present both the position information of AVM nidus and the dynamic information of the blood vessels. Therefore, the proposed method can help surgeons locate the AVM abnormality and make operation plan more accurately.

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of CT angiography (CTA) in traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and dissecting aneurysm. Methods A total of 8 patients including 7 with traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and 1 with dissecting aneurysm diagnosed by CTA in Suining Central Hospital from August 2012 to January 2016 were enrolled in this study, in whom 6 patients with traumatic pseudoaneurysm treated with embolotherapy were confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. Image post-processing techniques of CTA including curve planar reformation, multiplanar reconstruction and volume rendering were used. Results In the seven patients diagnosed as solitary traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm by CTA, 3 had superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm, 2 had inferior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm, and 2 had external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. The 7 pseudoaneurysms were pouch-shaped with the short diameters ranged from 9 to 64 mm and the long diameters ranged from 11 to 78 mm. Six locations of artery laceration were displayed clearly, thereinto 1 case was combined with arteriovenous fistula. In addition, a vessel occlusion caused by the limitation of right external iliac artery dissecting aneurysm and the thrombosis in left side of the external iliac artery was found in 1 case. Conclusions As a non-invasive diagnostic technique, CTA can accurately diagnose traumatic pelvic artery pseudoaneurysm and dissecting aneurysm, clearly display the location relationship of pseudoaneurysm and its parent artery, and find whether arteriovenous fistula exists. Beyond that, the true and false lumen of dissecting aneurysm can be precisely identified by this technique. CTA can provide important image information for formulating individual treatment plan.
ObjectiveTo observe the effectiveness of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) assisted musculoskeletal flap transplantation in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).MethodsThe clinical data of 15 patients with 15 hips of ONFH admitted between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were male, aged 20-45 years, with an average age of 31.6 years. There were hormone type in 9 cases and alcohol type in 6 cases. The disease duration ranged from 15 days to 3 years, with an average of 8 months. The Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging: 4 hips in stage Ⅱ, 11 hips in stage Ⅲ. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.2±0.2, and the Harris score of the hip joint was 57.3±1.3. Preoperative DSA examination of the femoral head was performed to determine the location of vascular lesions of the femoral head. According to the results of the angiography, the surgical selection of the musculoskeletal flap was guided. For the patients with both superior and inferior retinaculum vessels developed, simple core decompression was performed. For the patients with superior retinaculum vessels developed but inferior retinaculum vessels not developed, anterolateral tensor fasciae flap was used. For the patients whose superior retinaculum did not develop and the inferior retinaculum developed, posterolateral quadratus femoris flap was used. The fibular flap with anastomotic vessels was used in the patients whose superior and inferior retinaculum vessels were not developed.ResultsAll 15 cases of 15 hips were followed up 6-24 months, with an average of 14 months. During the follow-up, the patient’s ONFH did not worsen, the femoral head did not collapse, the joint space was normal, and the hip joint fextion and extension function was acceptable. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 1.9±0.2, and the hip Harris score was 92.1±0.8, both of which were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (t=14.85, P=0.00; t=23.22, P=0.00).ConclusionFor patients with ONFH who need musculoskeletal flap transplantation, preoperative DSA of femoral head can determine the location of vascular lesions of femoral head, so as to guide the selection of musculoskeletal flap transplantation, which is of great significance for hip-conserving surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of head boneless CT angiography (CTA) for surface shaded display (SSD) (hereinafter referred to as the SSD-CTA technology) and volume computed tomographic digital subtraction angiography (VCTDSA) in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of 35 patients diagnosed to have intracranial aneurysm by VCTDSA between April 2013 and November 2014 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The original data were imported into the CT workstation of the First People's Hospital of Chengdu. Then, SSD-CTA technology was performed for bone reconstruction. We compared the results of these two technologies. In addition, we selected another 27 patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysm by SSDCTA and DSA examination at the same time between June 2012 and November 2014 in the First People's Hospital of Chengdu for comparison. ResultsThe quality score of SSD-CTA reconstructed image was lower than that of VCTDSA, but the diagnosis of the two technologies for intracranial aneurysm was not statistically different (P>0.05). Compared with DSA, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis for intracranial aneurysms by SSD-CTA were both 100%. ConclusionSSD-CTA is valuable in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms.
ObjectiveTo observe the influence of three postoperative analgesia methods on the survival rate of replanted finger by flat digital subtraction angiography (DSA) medical imaging detection system. MethodFrom July 2014 to July 2015, 342 patients were classified into gradeⅠ and gradeⅡ replantation in accordance with their physical condition and they were randomly divided into routine oral group, muscle injection group and analgesia group with 144 patients in each. Flat DSA was used to dynamically observe replantation after revascularization. Then we compared the three different analgesia methods in terms of psychological status of the patients, incidence of vascular crisis, occlusion rate, survival rate of replanted fingers. The function score of replanted fingers was evaluated for clinical efficacy. ResultsCompared with the conventional oral group and muscle injection group, the incidence of vascular crisis in replanted fingers and thrombosis rate were significantly lower in the analgesia group which had a replanted finger survival rate of 96.69% and a normal mental condition rate of 78.07%. Six months after surgery, the rate of excellent and good follow-up was significantly higher than the conventional oral group and muscle injection group (P<0.017) . ConclusionsThe 3-D technology of flat DSA can provide clear and reliable pictures of vessel revascularization status for replanted fingers. The use of continuous brachial plexus analgesia performs better than other methods of analgesia. Good analgesia can stabilize patients' anxiety and negative emotions, which is helpful to avoid excessive fluctuations in blood pressure induced by small artery spasm caused by blood clots and vascular crisis, thereby increasing the survival rate of replanted fingers and facilitating early rehabilitation of their function.
