Aim: To investigate and evaluate the pathological features and diagnostic value of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with multi-section spiral computed tomography (MSCT) and postprocessing.
Methods: A total of 25 patients with FNH who had undergone MSCT and postprocessing were included in the investigation. All patients had been pathologically or clinically confirmed with FNH. A number of 75 cases of hepatic carcinomas, hemangiomas and adenomas were randomly selected at a same period for a comparative study.
Results: There was a single focus in 22 cases and multiple foci in 3 cases. On the plain scan, 17 lesions showed hypodensity, 7 isodensity and 4 hyperdensity (the case with fatty liver). With contrast, 28 lesions were enhanced evenly or in the nodules in the arterial phase; 13 lesions still showed hyperdensity, 11 lesions isodensity and 4 lesions hypodensity in the parenchymatous phase; in the delayed phase only 5 lesions showed hyperdensity but 9 lesions showed isodensity or slight hypodensity and 14 lesions showed hypodensity. Twelve lesions of 28 had central asteroid scars. Thickened feeding arteries in postprocessing were seen in 24 lesions, and were integrated into the parenchymatous lesions with a gradual and smooth course. On the contrary, there were no artery penetrated into the lesion found in any of comparative hepatic tumors.
Conclusion: Doctors could make a correct diagnosis and differentiation of FNH on evaluation of the characteristic appearance on MSCT with postprocessing.

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the airway post-processing technique of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) in Accessory cardiac bronchus(ACB)and to improve the understanding of this disease. The original MSCT axial images and various post-processing reconstructed images of 9 ACB cases were retrospectively analyzed.Airway post-processing techniques, including multi-planar reformation(MPR), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), volume rendering technique(VRT), CT virtual endoscopy(CTVE) and tissue transition projection (TTP), were employed.

Objectives: To compare the application value of three image post-processing techniques volume rendering (VR), multiplanar reformation (MPR) and curved planar reformation (CPR) in the identification of rib fracture malunion.
Methods: The types and numbers of rib fracture malunion in 75 patients were recorded, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Youden index of VR, MPR and CPR in the diagnosis of rib fracture malunion were compared. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated, and the detection rates of three image post-processing techniques for different types of rib fracture malunion were compared.

Institute for Urology and Human Reproductive Health, Sechenov University, Moscow, Russia.
Objective: To assess the correlation between the general (gender, age, and maximum tumor size) and 3D morphotopometric features of the renal tumor node, following the MSCT data post-processing, and the tumor histological structure; to propose an equation allowing for kidney malignancy assessment based on general and morphometric features.
Materials And Methods: In total, 304 patients with unilateral solitary renal neoplasms underwent laparoscopic (retroperitoneoscopic) or robotic partial or radical nephrectomy. Before the procedure, kidney contrast-enhanced MSCT followed by the tumor 3D-modeling was performed.

Background: The progress of interventional respiratory medicine necessitates a comprehensive knowledge of the segmental bronchi because of their complexity in branching patterns. Therefore, based on extensive research data, we aimed to examine the anatomical diversity and sex-related variations of the segmental bronchial branching patterns in the bilateral inferior lobes.
Methods: Following the exclusion and inclusion criteria, a total of 10,000 participants who underwent multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) scans from September 2019 to December 2021 at Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University were enrolled in this retrospective study.
[A case of left pulmonary artery sling combined with congenital tracheal stenosis in an adult].

Pulmonary artery sling in adults is a rare congenital vascular malformation usually accompanied by tracheal and bronchial stenosis. Due to its high mortality risk and relatively poor prognosis, it has rarely been reported in adults. We reported a middle-aged patient who presented with shortness of breath, predominantly after activity, since childhood.
