【摘要】 目的  探讨0.35 T MRI各方位各序列扫描对肩袖撕裂的诊断价值。 方法  对2010年3月-2011年4月就诊的38例肩关节疼痛患者,分别在斜冠状位、斜矢状位及横轴位行T1加权像(T1 weighted image,T1WI)、T2加权像(T2 weighted image,T2WI)、质子密度加权像(proton density weighted image,PWI)及脂肪抑制像(turbo inversion recovery magnitude,TIRM)扫描。将38例患者的冈上肌及冈下肌肌腱合并为A组、肩胛下肌及小圆肌肌腱合并为B组进行研究,分别比较A、B组采用各方位的扫描表现;再将A组患者分为斜冠状位T1WI+T2WI组与斜冠状位PWI+TIRM组,将B组患者分为横轴位T1WI+T2WI组与横轴位PWI+TIRM组,分别比较各序列组的扫描表现。 结果  A组患者在3个方位扫描像以及斜冠状位T1WI+T2WI组与PWI+TIRM组之间诊断准确度差异有统计学意义(P lt;0.05),其斜冠状位诊断肩袖撕裂的灵敏度为88.9%,特异度为81.8%,准确度为86.8%,为最佳扫描方位,而PWI+TIRM组诊断肩袖撕裂的灵敏度为88.9%,特异度为90.9%,准确度为89.5%,为优选扫描序列;B组患者在3个方位扫描像以及横轴位T1WI+T2WI组与PWI+TIRM组之间诊断准确度差异有统计学意义(P lt;0.05),其横轴位诊断肩袖撕裂的灵敏度为87.5%,特异度为86.4%,准确度为86.8%,为最佳扫描方位,而PWI+TIRM组诊断肩袖撕裂的灵敏度为100%,特异度为83.3%,准确度为94.7%,为优选扫描序列。 结论  低场MRI诊断冈上肌、冈下肌肌腱撕裂以斜冠状位PWI及TIRM扫描序列为首选,诊断小圆肌、肩胛下肌肌腱撕裂则以横轴位PWI及TIRM扫描序列为主。
【Abstract】 Objective  To explore the clinical value of 0.35 T MRI diagnosing rotator cuff tears with different scan sequence and patient position. Methods  From March 2010 to April 2011, there were 38 patients with shoulder pain were separately scanned by MRI at the position of oblique coronal, oblique sagittal and transaxial planes. Otherwise, the MRI images completed with T1 weighted, T2 weighted, PDWI and TIRM technique. The 38 cases were divided into two groups (group A: to study the supraspinatus and infraspinous tendons of the 38 cases; group B: to study the musculus teres minor and musculus subscapularis tendons of the 38 cases). Afterwards, the diagnostic results were compared among images at different patient positions. Furthermore, the images at oblique coronal plane of T1WI+T2WI and PWI+TIRM technique in group A were compared; on the other hands, the images at transaxial plane of T1WI+T2WI and PWI+TIRM technique in group B were compared. Results  The difference of diagnostic accuracy in group A at different patient positions and scan sequences were statistical significant (P lt;0.05), and oblique cornal plane was the best patient position with sensitivity of 88.9%, specificity of 81.8% and accuracy of 86.8%; at the same time, the PWI+TIRM sequence was better sequence with sensitivity of 88.9%, specificity of 90.9% and accuracy of 89.5%. The difference of diagnostic accuracy in group B at different patient positions and scan sequences were statistical significant (P lt;0.05), and transaxial plane was the best patient position with sensitivity of 87.5%, specificity of 86.4% and accuracy of 86.8%; at the same time, the PWI+TIRM sequence was better sequence with sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 83.3% and accuracy of 94.7%. Conclusion  In low field MRI, the oblique cornal plane with PWI+TIRM sequence are a first-line method for diagnosing supraspinatus tendon tears or infraspinous tendon tears; on the other hands, the transaxial plane with PWI+TIRM sequence are a first-line method for diagnosing musculus teres minor hurt or musculus subscapularis hurt.
