Real-Time Three-Dimensional Ultrasound-Assisted Axillary Plexus Block Defines Soft Tissue Planes. [Report]
Anesthesia & Analgesia. 108(4):1347-1350, April 2009.
Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is commonly used for regional block of the axillary brachial plexus. In this technical case report, we described a real-time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound-guided axillary block. The difference between 2D and 3D ultrasound is similar to the difference between plain radiograph and computer tomography. Unlike 2D ultrasound that captures a planar image, 3D ultrasound technology acquires a 3D volume of information that enables multiple planes of view by manipulating the image without movement of the ultrasound probe. Observation of the brachial plexus in cross-section demonstrated distinct linear hyperechoic tissue structures (loose connective tissue) that initially inhibited the flow of the local anesthesia. After completion of the injection, we were able to visualize the influence of arterial pulsation on the spread of the local anesthesia. Possible advantages of this novel technology over current 2D methods are wider image volume and the capability to manipulate the planes of the image without moving the probe.

Accuracy of Dynamic Computed Tomography to Calculate Rotation Occurring at Lumbar Spinal Motion Segments
Spine. 34(6):E215-E218, March 15, 2009.
Abstract
Study Design. Reliability study comparing computed tomography (CT) to biomechanics.Objective. To measure the accuracy and precision of such measurements in comparison with a standard method.Summary of Background Data. Rotations of lumbar spinal motion segments can be measured with dynamic CT imaging. This may be a useful tool to measure intersegmental motion. Validation of its use is lacking.Methods. Human cadaveric lumbar spines were fixed in a rigid rotation device and rotated, whereas rotation at each level was measured with extensiometers. Rotation at each level was calculated as a percent of total rotation. The spines were placed in a CT scanner and imaged after rotation of the spine in each direction. The percent of total rotation that occurred at each level was calculated with a software program. Accuracy of the CT method was calculated as the average difference between methods. Precision was measured as the standard deviation of the CT measurement. Biomechanical testing and CT were repeated after the posterior anulus fibrosus at L3-L4 was incised with a scalpel. The power of the CT method to detect a change in rotation was tested by calculating the difference between the pre- and postsurgery rotation at L3-L4 and testing it for significance with a Student t test of paired samples.Results. Differences between CT and biomechanical measurements averaged 0.2%. Precision was 6.0% ( Table 1). Postanular injury, percent rotation at the L3-L4 level increased, whereas it decreased at the other 4 levels. The change at L3-L4 was statistically significant (P = 0.047).(C) 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Percutaneous Aspiration of Spinal Terminal Ventricle Cysts Using Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Navigation
Spine. 34(6):629-634, March 15, 2009.
Abstract
Study Design. Clinical case series.Objective. To present a new innovative treatment option for cysts of the terminal ventricle.Summary of Background Data. Invasive surgery including laminectomy and cyst fenestration has been the sole reported method of treatment for this rare pathology.Methods. Four cases of symptomatic cyst of the terminal ventricle of the spinal cord were treated by percutaneous aspiration using real-time guidance with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optically-tracking navigation.Results. Three patients were treated successfully by this percutaneous method, and for 1 patient the treatment was converted to conventional surgery after a single unsuccessful trial of percutaneous puncture. All patients were relieved of their symptoms without any complication. Follow-up MRI revealed continued shrinkage of the cysts after both surgery and MRI-guided percutaneous fenestration.Conclusion. MRI-navigated percutaneous aspiration can be a minimally-invasive treatment option for symptomatic cysts of the terminal ventricle, and therefore, can be indicated before more invasive surgery might be scheduled.(C) 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Value of Immediate Preprocedure Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Scheduled to Undergo Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty
Spine. 34(6):609-612, March 15, 2009.
Abstract
Study Design. Retrospective case series.Objective. To determine the incidence of additional vertebral compression fractures diagnosed with repeat MRI immediately before vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.Summary of Background Data. Vertebral compression fractures, which occur frequently in the elderly, are more likely in patients with prior vertebral compression fracture. When patients are evaluated for vertebroplasty, it is important to identify all unhealed fractures for effective treatment planning.Methods. In a retrospective study, we reviewed the records of all patients (n = 194) treated with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty over a 6-year period at our institution, and identified all patients who had undergone a repeat MRI within 7 days of vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty. These studies were obtained as part of a clinical protocol prescribing a repeat MRI for any patient whose MRI had been obtained more than 3 months before the evaluation, or who had a change in their pain between referral and evaluation.Results. Twenty patients met inclusion criteria for the immediate preprocedure MRI protocol. A total of 14 new fractures in 11 patients were discovered on the immediate preprocedure MRI. Of these 14, 6 had less than 15% loss of height, making them potentially occult on radiographs; 3 fractures developed in 2 patients who had no change in back pain.Conclusion. In select candidates for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, a repeat preprocedure MRI obtained within 1 week can help ensure that all painful fractures are treated. There is demonstrable value in this protocol for patients with an imaging evaluation over 3 months old or who have had any change in symptoms since the initial imaging workup.(C) 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Reliability Analysis for Manual Radiographic Measures of Rotatory Subluxation or Lateral Listhesis in Adult Scoliosis.
Spine. 34(6):603-608, March 15, 2009.
Abstract
Study Design. Retrospective observational study.Objective. To define the inter- and intraobserver reliability of 3 measures of rotatory subluxation (RS) in adult scoliosis (AS).Summary of Background Data. RS is a hallmark of AS. To accurately track this measure, one must know its reliability. Reliability testing has not been performed.Methods. PA 36" films of 29 AS patients were collected from one surgeon's practice. Three observers on 2 separate occasions measured all levels with >=3-mm RS (60 levels, 360 measurements) on the convexity of the involved segment using 3 different techniques-midbody (MB), endplate (EP), and centroid (C). These data were then analyzed to determine the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for inter- and intraobserver reliability.Results. The thoracolumbar/lumbar curve (average 58[degrees]) was the major curve for the majority (62%) of patients. RS at L3/4 was most common (35%). The overall inter- and intraobserver reliability was good-excellent for all methods, but the centroid method consistently had the highest ICC. ICC correlated with observer experience. Moderate-severe arthritic change (present in 55%) and poor image quality (52%) decreased ICC, but it still remained good-excellent for each measure. The reproducibility coefficient for each measure was 4 mm for MB and 2.8 mm for C and EP.Conclusion. MB, EP, and C are reliable techniques to measure RS even in elderly arthritic spines, but the methods inherently produce different values for a given level. The centroid method is most reliable and least influenced by experience. The EP method is easy to perform and very reliable. Spine surgeons should pick their preferred method and apply it consistently. Changes >3 mm suggest RS progression. RS may be a useful measure in addition to Cobb angle in AS. Having defined measurement reliability, the role of RS progression in surgical indications and patient outcomes can be evaluated.

The overall inter- and intraobserver reliability was good-excellent for all methods, but the centroid method consistently had the highest ICC. ICC correlated with observer experience. Moderate-severe arthritic change (present in 55%) and poor image quality (52%) decreased ICC, but it still remained good-excellent for each measure. The reproducibility coefficient for each measure was 4 mm for MB and 2.8 mm for C and EP.Conclusion. MB, EP, and C are reliable techniques to measure RS even in elderly arthritic spines, but the methods inherently produce different values for a given level. The centroid method is most reliable and least influenced by experience. The EP method is easy to perform and very reliable. Spine surgeons should pick their preferred method and apply it consistently. Changes >3 mm suggest RS progression. RS may be a useful measure in addition to Cobb angle in AS. Having defined measurement reliability, the role of RS progression in surgical indications and patient outcomes can be evaluated.

Pediatric optic neuritis: Brain MRI abnormalities and risk of multiple sclerosis
Neurology. 72(10):881-885, March 10, 2009.
Abstract
Background: Optic neuritis is often the initial presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS). As established by the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial, an abnormal baseline brain MRI is a strong predictor of MS after isolated optic neuritis in adults. However, the rate of conversion to MS after optic neuritis in children based upon brain MRI findings is unknown.Methods: We reviewed the medical records of children (<18 p =" 0.04," chop =" Children's" flair =" fluid-attenuated" ms =" multiple" nmo =" neuromyelitis" ontt =" Optic">

Distal hyperintense vessels on FLAIR: An MRI marker for collateral circulation in acute stroke?
Neurology.

Publish Ahead of Print, POST AUTHOR CORRECTIONS, 11 February 2009
Abstract
Background: Hyperintense vessels (HV) on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging are frequently observed in acute ischemic stroke patients. However, the exact mechanism and clinical implications of this sign have not yet been clearly defined. The features of HV and its relevance to other imaging factors are presented here.Methods: Prominence and location of HV were documented in 52 consecutive patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarction, before treatment with IV recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Pretreatment ischemic lesion volume, perfusion lesion volume, and vessel occlusion were determined in addition to recanalization status and ischemic lesion volume on follow-up imaging. NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used as a measure of clinical severity.Results: HV distal to arterial occlusion was observed in 73% of patients; more frequent in proximal than distal MCA occlusion patients. Among the 38 patients with proximal MCA occlusion, initial perfusion lesion volume was comparable among patients with different grade distal HV. However, patients with more prominent distal HV had smaller initial, 24-hour, and subacute ischemic lesion volumes and lower initial NIHSS scores.Conclusions: The presence of distal hyperintense vessels before thrombolytic treatment is associated with large diffusion-perfusion mismatch and smaller subacute ischemic lesion volumes in patients with proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion.GLOSSARY: DWI = diffusion-weighted imaging; FLAIR = fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; GRE = gradient recalled echo; HV = hyperintense vessels; MCA = middle cerebral artery; MRA = magnetic resonance angiography; MTT = mean transit time; NIHSS = NIH Stroke Scale; PWI = perfusion-weighted imaging; rt-PA = recombinant tissue plasminogen activator; TE = echo time; TI = inversion time; TIMI = thrombolysis in myocardial infarction; TR = repetition time.

Abstract
Background: There are no published MRI studies comparing interferon beta 1b (IFN[beta]-1b) and glatiramer acetate (GA) for treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).Objective: To compare the efficacy of IFN[beta]-1b and GA for suppression of MS disease activity as evidenced on frequent brain MRI.Methods: A total of 75 patients with relapsing-remitting MS or clinically isolated syndromes were randomized to standard doses of IFN[beta]-1b or GA and followed by monthly brain MRI for up to 2 years with a protocol optimized to detect enhancement. The primary outcome was the number of combined active lesions (CAL) per patient per scan during the first year, which included all enhancing lesions and nonenhancing new T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) lesions. Secondary outcomes were the number of new lesions and clinical exacerbations over 2 years.Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. The primary outcome showed similar median (75th percentile) CAL per patient per scan for months 1-12, 0.63 (2.76) for IFN[beta]-1b, and 0.58 (2.45) for GA (p = 0.58). There were no differences in new lesion or clinical relapses for 2 years. Only 4.4% of CAL on monthly MRI scans were nonenhancing new T2/FLAIR lesions.Conclusion: Patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis randomized to interferon beta 1b or glatiramer acetate showed similar MRI and clinical activity.GLOSSARY: ARR = annualized relapse rates; BECOME = Betaseron vs Copaxone in Multiple Sclerosis with Triple-Dose Gadolinium and 3-Tesla MRI Endpoints; CAL = combined active lesions; CIS = clinically isolated syndromes; EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale; GA = glatiramer acetate; IFN[beta]-1b = interferon beta 1b; FLAIR = fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; MS = multiple sclerosis; MSFC = Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite; NEL = newly enhancing lesions; NL = new lesions; RRMS = relapsing-remitting MS; SNRS = Scripps Neurological Rating Scale.(C)2009AAN Enterprises, Inc.

Yield of combined perfusion and diffusion MR imaging in hemispheric TIA
Neurology.
Status
Publish Ahead of Print, POST AUTHOR CORRECTIONS, 17 December 2008
Abstract
Objective: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) predict future stroke. However, there are no sensitive and specific diagnostic criteria for TIA and interobserver agreement regarding the diagnosis is poor. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) demonstrates acute ischemic lesions in approximately 30% of TIA patients; the yield of perfusion-weighted MRI (PWI) is unclear.Methods: We prospectively performed both DWI and PWI within 48 hours of symptom onset in consecutive patients admitted with suspected hemispheric TIAs of <24 hours symptom duration. Two independent raters, blinded to clinical features, assessed the presence and location of acute DWI and PWI lesions. Lesions were correlated with suspected clinical localization and baseline characteristics. Clinical features predictive of a PWI lesion were assessed.Results: Forty-three patients met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-three percent had a PWI lesion and 35% had a DWI lesion. Seven patients (16%) had both PWI and DWI lesions and 7 (16%) had only PWI lesions. The combined yield for identification of either a PWI or a DWI was 51%. DWI lesions occurred in the clinically suspected hemisphere in 93% of patients; PWI lesions in 86%. PWI lesions occurred more frequently when the MRI was performed within 12 hours of symptom resolution, in patients with symptoms of speech impairment, and among individuals younger than 60 years.Conclusions: The combination of early diffusion-weighted MRI and perfusion-weighted MRI can document the presence of a cerebral ischemic lesion in approximately half of all patients who present with a suspected hemispheric transient ischemic attack (TIA). MRI has the potential to improve the accuracy of TIA diagnosis.GLOSSARY: ACA = anterior cerebral artery; CI = confidence interval; DWI = diffusion-weighted MRI; ICA = internal carotid artery; MCA = middle cerebral artery; MRA = magnetic resonance angiography; MTT = mean transit time; OR = odds ratios; PCA = posterior cerebral artery; PWI = perfusion-weighted MRI; RR = risk ratios; TIA = transient ischemic attacks; TOAST = Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment.(C)2009AAN Enterprises, Inc.

Diagnostic Ultrasound Combined With Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa-Targeted Microbubbles Improves Microvascular Recovery After Acute Coronary Thrombotic Occlusions

published online before print, 2 March 2009
Abstract
Background-: The high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer may be a method of recanalizing acutely thrombosed vessels if the impulses are applied only when microbubbles are channeling through the thrombus.Methods and Results-: In 45 pigs with acute left anterior descending thrombotic occlusions, a low-MI pulse sequence scheme (contrast pulse sequencing) was used to image the myocardium and guide the delivery of high-MI (1.9 MI) impulses during infusion of either intravenous platelet-targeted microbubbles or nontargeted microbubbles. A third group received no diagnostic ultrasound and microbubbles. All groups received half-dose recombinant prourokinase, heparin, and aspirin. Contrast pulse sequencing examined replenishment of contrast within the central portion of the risk area and guided the application of high-MI impulses. Angiographic recanalization rates, resolution of ST-segment elevation on ECG, and wall thickening were analyzed. Pigs receiving platelet-targeted microbubbles had more rapid replenishment of the central portion of the risk area (80% versus 40% for nontargeted microbubbles; P=0.03) and higher epicardial recanalization rates (53% versus 7% for prourokinase alone; P=0.01). Replenishment of contrast within the risk area (whether with platelet-targeted microbubbles or nontargeted microbubbles) was associated with both higher recanalization rates and even higher rates of ST-segment resolution (82% versus 21% for prourokinase alone; P=0.006). ST-segment resolution occurred in 6 pigs (40%) treated with microbubbles who did not have epicardial recanalization, of which 5 had recovery of wall thickening.Conclusions-: Intravenous platelet-targeted microbubbles combined with brief high-MI diagnostic ultrasound impulses guided by contrast pulse sequencing improve both epicardial recanalization rates and microvascular recovery.

Airway Management in Children: Ultrasonography Assessment of Tracheal Intubation in Real Time
Anesthesia & Analgesia. 108(2):461-465, February 2009.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pediatric tracheal intubation requires considerable expertise and can represent a challenge to many anesthesiologists. Confirmation of correct tracheal tube position relies on direct visualization or indirect measures, such as auscultation and capnography. These methods have varying sensitivity and specificity, especially in the infant and young child. Ultrasonography is noninvasive and is becoming more readily available to the anesthesiologist. In this study, we investigated the characteristic real-time ultrasonographic findings of the normal pediatric airway during tracheal intubation and its suitability for clinical use.METHODS: Thirty healthy children with normal airways requiring tracheal intubation were studied. Ultrasonographic measurements of the pediatric airway during tracheal intubation under deep inhaled anesthesia were performed using a Sonosite Titan(R) (Sonosite, Bothell, WA) scanner while recording characteristic images during this process. Correct tracheal tube placement was further confirmed using auscultation and satisfactory end-tidal capnography.RESULTS: The mean (+/- sd) age of studied patients was 48 +/- 37 mo, weight was 19.7. +/- 8.6 kg and the sex ratio (m/f) was 1:2. Successful tracheal intubation was verified using the following criteria: 1) identification of the trachea and tracheal rings, 2) visualization of vocal cords, 3) widening of glottis as the tracheal tube passes through, and 4) tracheal tube position above carina and demonstration of movement of the chest wall visceroparietal pleural interface (i.e., sliding sign) after manual ventilation of the lungs. One esophageal intubation was readily recognized by visualization of the tube in the left paratracheal space.CONCLUSION: This study describes characteristic ultrasonographic findings of the pediatric airway during tracheal intubation. It suggests that ultrasonography may be useful for airway management in children

Middle cerebral artery vasospasm: Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography versus conventional nonimaging transcranial Doppler sonography *.[Article]
Critical Care Medicine. 37(3):963-968, March 2009.
Abstract
Objective: To prospectively compare accuracies of transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) and transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) in the diagnosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) vasospasm.Design: Prospective blinded head-to-head comparison TCD and TCCS methods using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard.Setting: Department of Radiology in a tertiary university health center in a metropolitan area.Patients: Eighty-one consecutive patients (mean age, 53.9 +/- 13.9 years; 48 women). The indication for DSA was subarachnoid hemorrhage in 71 patients (87.6%), stroke or transient ischemic attack in five patients (6.2%), and other reasons in five patients (6.2%).Interventions: The MCA was graded as normal, narrowed <50%,>50% using DSA. The accuracy of ultrasound methods was estimated by total area (Az) under receiver operator characteristic curve. To compare sensitivities of ultrasound methods, McNemar's test was used with mean velocity thresholds of 120 cm/sec for the detection of less advanced, and 200 cm/sec for the more advanced MCA narrowing.Measurements and Main Results: Angiographic MCA narrowing <=50% was found in 21, and >50% in 10 of 135 arteries. Accuracy of TCCS was insignificantly higher than that of TCD in the detection of <=50% and >50% narrowing, total Az for mean velocity being 0.83 +/- 0.05, 0.77 +/- 0.05, and 0.95 +/- 0.02, 0.86 +/- 0.08, respectively. Sensitivity of TCCS at commonly used threshold of 120 cm/sec for less advanced MCA spasm was significantly better than that of TCD at similar specificity, 55% vs. 39%, p = 0.038, whereas at a threshold of 200 cm/sec used for more advanced spasm, sensitivities and specificities of both methods were not different.Conclusion: The accuracy of TCCS and TCD is similar, but TCCS is more sensitive than TCD in the detection of MCA spasm. Sensitivity of both techniques in the detection of mild and more advanced spasm using 120 cm/sec and 200 cm/sec thresholds, respectively, is poor; however, a larger sample is required to increase precision of our sensitivity estimates.(C) 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Abstract
Objective: To prospectively compare accuracies of transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) and transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) in the diagnosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) vasospasm.Design: Prospective blinded head-to-head comparison TCD and TCCS methods using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard.Setting: Department of Radiology in a tertiary university health center in a metropolitan area.Patients: Eighty-one consecutive patients (mean age, 53.9 +/- 13.9 years; 48 women). The indication for DSA was subarachnoid hemorrhage in 71 patients (87.6%), stroke or transient ischemic attack in five patients (6.2%), and other reasons in five patients (6.2%).Interventions: The MCA was graded as normal, narrowed <50%,>50% using DSA. The accuracy of ultrasound methods was estimated by total area (Az) under receiver operator characteristic curve. To compare sensitivities of ultrasound methods, McNemar's test was used with mean velocity thresholds of 120 cm/sec for the detection of less advanced, and 200 cm/sec for the more advanced MCA narrowing.Measurements and Main Results: Angiographic MCA narrowing <=50% was found in 21, and >50% in 10 of 135 arteries. Accuracy of TCCS was insignificantly higher than that of TCD in the detection of <=50% and >50% narrowing, total Az for mean velocity being 0.83 +/- 0.05, 0.77 +/- 0.05, and 0.95 +/- 0.02, 0.86 +/- 0.08, respectively. Sensitivity of TCCS at commonly used threshold of 120 cm/sec for less advanced MCA spasm was significantly better than that of TCD at similar specificity, 55% vs. 39%, p = 0.038, whereas at a threshold of 200 cm/sec used for more advanced spasm, sensitivities and specificities of both methods were not different.Conclusion: The accuracy of TCCS and TCD is similar, but TCCS is more sensitive than TCD in the detection of MCA spasm. Sensitivity of both techniques in the detection of mild and more advanced spasm using 120 cm/sec and 200 cm/sec thresholds, respectively, is poor; however, a larger sample is required to increase precision of our sensitivity estimates.(C) 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
