Double-contrast tomography was applied to temporomandibular joint autopsy specimens. Both joint compartments were given successive injections of air-iodine contrast medium-air. Tomography was performed in lateral and a.p. projections using a multi-film cassette. The shape of the disc and joint compartments was well demonstrated. The influence of the tomographic level and the position of the condyle on the appearance of the disc was analysed.

Utilization of double contrast-enhancement boost for lower-extremity CT angiography.

J Med Imaging (Bellingham)

November 2024

Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Department of Radiology, Goyang, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a double contrast enhancement (CE)-boost technique versus traditional methods for improving vascular imaging in lower-extremity CT angiography.
  • A total of 45 patients participated, and the double CE-boost technique was found to significantly reduce image noise and enhance CT attenuation values, resulting in clearer images.
  • The results showed that double CE-boost images had superior quality, higher signal/noise ratios, and better subjective ratings compared to both conventional and single CE-boost images.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common malignant tumor and ranks third for cancer-related deaths among the worldwide. The disease poses a serious public health problem in China, ranking fifth for incidence and third for mortality. Knowledge of the invasive depth of the tumor is vital to treatment decisions.

Contrast arthrography of the equine temporomandibular joint.

Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Saskatoon, SK, Canada.

Background: Disorders of the equine temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cause clinical problems and detailed investigations of this joint are becoming more common. Specialist radiographic projections have the potential to highlight osseous abnormalities; however, the ability to assess the intra-articular soft tissue structures is currently limited to computed tomography (with, or without contrast enhancement) or magnetic resonance imaging. Both modalities are expensive and not readily accessible.

In this work, we present the synthesis and evaluation of magnetic resonance (MR) properties of novel phosphorus/iron-containing probes for dual P and H MR imaging and spectroscopy (MRI and MRS). The presented probes are composed of biocompatible semitelechelic and multivalent phospho-polymers based on poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC) coordinated with small paramagnetic Fe ions or superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-FeO) nanoparticles via deferoxamine group linked to the end or along the polymer chains. All probes provided very short H T and T relaxation times even at low iron concentrations.
