Article Synopsis
  • Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and this study focuses on identifying risk factors for vulnerable coronary plaques (VCPs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
  • Among 98 analyzed T2DM patients, a higher percentage of time in blood glucose target range (TIR) and higher levels of HDL-C (good cholesterol) were linked to a lower risk of VCPs, while elevated triglyceride (TG) levels increased the risk.
  • Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) showed high accuracy in identifying VCPs, with strong correlation to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) findings, suggesting that TIR, HDL-C, and TG should be monitored closely in T2DM

Background: To analyze the features of CT, MRI and PET/CT and their diagnostic value for spinal osteoblastomas (OBs).

Methods: The radiological and clinical data of 21 patients with histopathologically-confirmed spinal OBs were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: Sixteen of the 21 cases were benign and 5 were aggressive OBs.

Objective: To analyze the imaging features of osteopoikilosis and its diagnosis knowledge.

Methods: The imaging data of 9 patients with osteopoikilosis were analyzed retrospectively, including 6 familial cases and 3 sporadic cases. In 6 familial cases,there were 4 males and 2 females with an average age of 28 years old ranging from 10 to 63 years.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic role of computed tomographic dacryocystography (CTDCG) in lacrimal path damage and provide operative approach guidance for the endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).

Method: Twenty-eight cases with lacrimal path damage underwent CTDCG. The following reconstruction techniques including volume rendering (VR), multiple planar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP) and three-dimensional reconstruction (3-d R) were done on the real-time workstation.

Objective: To compare the effects of two contrast agents, Gd-DTPA and HSA-Gd-DTPA, in magnetic resonance (MR) lymphography.

Methods: Twelve New-Zealand rabbits were randomized into Gd-DTPA and HSA-Gd-DTPA groups with subcutaneous (interdigital skin fold) injection of the two contrast agents (0.2 ml of 0.
