Abstract

Purpose

The formation of pterygoalar (Pa) and pterygospinous (Ps) bars are controversial whether they are secondary ossifications with aging or phylogenetic remnant. Therefore we aimed to evaluate the presence of Pa and Ps bars in children on routine cranial computed tomography images.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the cranial computed tomography images of 500 children under the age of 18. Besides the 0.5 mm axial images, maximum intensity projection and 3D reconstructions were also used. The existence of incomplete or complete Pa and Ps bars were investigated.

Results

Incomplete and complete Pa bar was detected in 4.6% and 2.2% of the cases, respectively. Incomplete Ps bar was seen in 13.6% of the cases and complete was in 6%. In total, per 1000 sides, 12 (2.4%) complete and 27 (5.4%) incomplete Pa bars were detected. In the same way, 35 (7%) complete and 88 (17.6%) incomplete Ps bars were seen. The smallest age ossification detected was 5 months old. Additionally, the prevalence of Pa and Ps bars between the under and over 10 years old age groups were statistically significant. Aging increased the prevalence.

Conclusion

Considering our results, it seems that the ossification of Pa and Ps ligaments may not be solely related with aging.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Die elektronische Patientenakte kommt: Das sollten Sie jetzt wissen

Am 15. Januar geht die „ePA für alle“ zunächst in den Modellregionen an den Start. Doch schon bald soll sie in allen Praxen zum Einsatz kommen. Was ist jetzt zu tun? Was müssen Sie wissen? Wir geben in einem FAQ Antworten auf 21 Fragen.

Stören weiße Wände und viel Licht die Bildqualitätskontrolle?

Wenn es darum geht, die technische Qualität eines Mammogramms zu beurteilen, könnten graue Wandfarbe und reduzierte Beleuchtung im Bildgebungsraum von Vorteil sein. Darauf deuten zumindest Ergebnisse einer kleinen Studie hin. 

PMBCL mit CMR: Radiatio kann ohne Risiko weggelassen werden

Patienten mit primär mediastinalem B-Zell-Lymphom (PMBCL), die nach der Induktionstherapie eine komplette metabolische Remission (CMR) erreichen und keine konsolidierende Bestrahlung erhalten, müssen offenbar keine Überlebensnachteile fürchten.
