[Initial findings using dynamic magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the sacroiliac joint].

Up to now 42 patients with clinically suspected diagnosis of sacroiliitis (including 19 patients with confirmed spondylitis ankylosans) and 12 healthy volunteers were examined via magnetic resonance tomography. In oblique sections parallel to the plane of the sacrum the signal intensity patterns from normal and pathological tissues of the sacroiliac articulations were evaluated by plain T1-weighted spin-echo sequences and T2*-weighted FLASH sequences. In addition we used a dynamic FLASH measurement following intravenous application of gadolinium-DTPA for quantitative calculation of signal-time courses. This method has proved to be capable of definitely differentiating normal findings of sacroiliac articulations from inflammatory changes (p = 0.0001) and also enables quantification of the inflammatory activity.

[Three-dimensional construction of the relation between the anterior branches of lumbar nerves 4, 5, lumbosacral trunk and sacroiliac joint].

OBJECTIVE: To construct a three-dimensional model to demonstrate the relation between the anterior branches of lumbosacral 4,5, lumbosacral trunk, and the pelvis. METHODS: An formaldehyde-fixed adult cadaver was dissected to expose the anterior branches of the lumbar nerves 4 and 5, lumbosacral trunk and the sacroiliac. The mixture of titanium powder and adhesive was smeared on the surface of the major branches of L4 and L5 nerves, lumbosacral trunk, femoral nerves and obturator nerves. As soon as the mixture solidified, the specimen was scanned by spiral CT at 3 mm intervals to obtain 159 two-dimensional sectional images for three-dimensional model reconstruction on a personal computer using the software 3-D DOCTOR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The reconstructed model can well demonstrate the spatial relation between the nerves and the pelvis, and allows rotation in every direction, which at the same time can be conveniently applied for purpose of clinical teaching.
