  • Virtual Colonography
    Virtual Colonography Radiologists at the VCU Medical Center were among the first in Virginia to develop, test and adopt for routine use a more patient-friendly way to screen for colon polyps and colon cancer. The noninvasive treatment procedure known medically as - Virtual Colonography (VC) or CT Colonography (CTC) - uses computed tomography (CT) scanning to determine whether or not colon polyps are present. Because Virtual Colonography does not require the use of a colonoscope as in a conventional colonoscopy procedure, it is sometimes referred to as a “Virtual Colonoscopy”. What makes Virtual Colonography an ideal option for screening? Because the procedure is noninvasive, safe, quick (lasting only a few minutes), and does not require sedation, Virtual Colonography is an excellent screening technology, and often preferred by patients over the conventional or standard colonoscopy. There are no risks of complications such as bowel perforation or complications from sedation associated with standard colonoscopy. Patients may return to their usual activities as soon as the test is over. Virtual Colonography also allows for evaluation of the entire colon, something a standard colonoscopy may not be able to do in all cases because normal twists and turns in the large intestines make navigating the colonoscope difficult. Virtual Colonography is accurate in identifying significant polyps and offers an alternative screening option for those who are simply not willing to undergo conventional colonoscopy, which is invasive, can be uncomfortable, and requires sedation. How accurate is Virtual Colonography compared to conventional colonoscopy? Early studies show that Virtual Colonography is comparable to conventional colonoscopy in terms of identifying polyps six millimeters or greater in size.

  • Ultrasonography in Hepatobiliary Diseases
    Ultrasonography in Hepatobiliary diseases Pages with reference to book, From 189 To 194 Kunio Okuda ( Department of Medicine, Chiba University School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan (280). ) Introduction of real-time linear scan ultrasonography to clinical practice has revolutionalized the diagnostic approach to hepatobiiary disorders. 1 This modality allows the operator to scan the liver and biliary tract with a real-time effect, and obtain three dimensional images. One can follow vessels and ducts from one end to the other. The portal and hepatic venous systems are readily seen and distinguished. Real-time ultrasonography (US) using an electronically activated linear array transducer is becoming a stethoscope for the liver specialist, because a portable size real-time ültrasonograph is already available. It is now established that real-time US is useful not only in the diagnosis of gallstones, dilatation of the biliary tract, and cystic lesions, but it can also assess liver parenchyma in various diffuse liver diseases. Thus, a wide range of diffuse liver diseases beside localized hepatic lesions can he evaluated by US. It can also make the diagnosis of portal hypertension 2-4 In our unit, the patient with a suspected hepatobiiary disorder is examined by US on the first day of hospital visit, and the next investigation that will pOssibly provide a definitive diagnosis, such as ERCP, PTC, X-ray CT, angiography, scintigraphy, etc., is scheduled. Using a specially designed transducer, a needle can be guided while the vessel, a duct, or a structure is being aimed and entered (US-guided puncture). 5 ;7 US-guided puncture technique has improved the procedure for percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogrpahy 8, biliary decompression, percutaneous transhepatic catheterizatiøn for portography 9, and obliteration of bleeding varices.

The study included 25 patients with known history of portal vein disease and another 25 age-matched patients with normal portal vein. Both groups were examined by respiratory-triggered non-contrast MR portography using time-spatial labeling inversion pulse technique. Image quality was assessed first, and findings of diagnostic scans were compared to color duplex ultrasonography and selectively in those with diseased portal vein to portal-phase images of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Results: Significant relation was found between breathing regularity and image quality in T-SLIP sequence, with diagnostic scans sensitivity and specificity of 89.29% and 86.21%, respectively, for diagnosis of different portal vein pathological conditions. Conclusions: Non-contrast MR portography is a useful technique for diagnosis of portal vein pathology in carefully selected patients.

Moreover, the ac- to rule out portal vein disease, to detect anatomical vari- curate timing of contrast bolus together with competent ations, and to draw a road map for surgeons planning long breath holds are mandatory to obtain good quality for hepatectomy or liver transplant [1].
