Background: Lateral humeral condyle fracture is the second most common intra-articular fracture in pediatric elbow. Objectives: The present study aimed to analyze the differences between X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of the stability of pediatric lateral humeral condyle fracture and the degree of fracture displacement. Methods: A total of 78 patients with acute elbow trauma were selected and hospitalized in our orthopedic department from July 2018-July 2019. All patients were examined with X-ray and MRI. The sensitivity and specificity of X-ray and MRI in the diagnosis of lateral humeral condyle fracture and the integrity of the trochlear cartilage chain fracture were calculated. The X-ray and MRI were examined respectively to check the value of lateral and posterior fracture space of lateral humeral condyle fracture. Results: Callus repair was observed according to the observation of fracture line during operation or the follow-up imaging examination of conservative treatment. It was confirmed that out of 78 patients with elbow joint trauma, 72 cases were diagnosed with the fracture of lateral condyle of humerus, and the other 6 patients were cured without fracture signs. The sensitivity of MRI in the diagnosis of pediatric lateral condylar fracture was 100%, which was significantly higher than that of X-ray (88.89%) (P<0.05). The results of X-ray and MRI in the diagnosis of pediatric lateral condylar fracture were generally consistent (kappa value = 0.465;< 0.01). Among the 72 confirmed cases, 35 subjects had a fracture of trochlear cartilage chain. The sensitivity of MRI in the diagnosis of pediatric fracture of lateral condyle of humerus was 97.14%, which was significantly higher than that of X-ray (62.86%) (P<0.05). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The sensitivity of 3d-fs-fspgr or 3d-fspgr was significantly higher than that of fs-t2wi and fs-pdwi (P< 0.05). Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, MRI was superior to X-ray in the diagnosis of pediatric humeral epicondylar fracture stability and evaluation of fracture displacement. Furthermore, 3d-fs-fspgr or 3d-fspgr was the best MR sequence to show the pediatric humeral epicondylar fracture. These findings can provide theoretical basis for the establishment of clinical treatment plan.

Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of pediatric elbow trauma with or without a visible fracture on radiography. Material and Methods: MRI was performed in the acute phase in 25 children with an elbow injury. Nine patients with an elbow effusion only on radiographs and 16 with a fracture or luxation seen on radiographs underwent subsequent MRI. No sedation was used. Results: MRI revealed eight occult fractures (89%) in seven out of nine patients who had only an effusion on radiographs. Based on MRI findings, septic arthritis was suspected in one patient. Two patients out of five with a supracondylar fracture on the radiograph had a cartilage lesion in the humerus. MRI depicted a 3-mm gap on the articular surface in two patients with a lateral condyle fracture, a more accurate fracture location in two patients than the radiographs, and an additional occult fracture in two patients. MRI showed a fracture not seen on radiographs in two of three patients with prior luxation. Conclusion: MRI is a sensitive and accurate method in the diagnosis of pediatric elbow injuries, especially when only an effusion is present on radiographs. Occult fractures are more common in pediatric patients with elbow injury than reported earlier.

High Resolution Mri

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.

Auditory Research

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) holds exciting potential as a research and clinical tool for exploring the human auditory system. This noninvasive technique allows the measurement of discrete changes in cerebral cortical blood flow in response to sensory stimuli, allowing determination of precise neuroanatomical locations of the underlying brain parenchymal activity. Application of fMRI in auditory research, however, has been limited. One problem is that fMRI utilizing echo-planar imaging technology (EPI) generates intense noise that could potentially affect the results of auditory experiments. Also, issues relating to the reliability of fMRI for listeners with normal hearing need to be resolved before this technique can be used to study listeners with hearing loss. This preliminary study examines the feasibility of using fMRI in auditory research by performing a simple set of experiments to test the reliability of scanning parameters that use a high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio unlike that presently reported in the literature. We used consonant-vowel (CV) speech stimuli to investigate whether or not we could observe reproducible and consistent changes in cortical blood flow in listeners during a single scanning session, across more than one scanning session, and in more than one listener. In addition, we wanted to determine if there were differences between CV speech and nonspeech complex stimuli across listeners. Our study shows reproducibility within and across listeners for CV speech stimuli. Results were reproducible for CV speech stimuli within fMRI scanning sessions for 5 out of 9 listeners and were reproducible for 6 out of 8 listeners across fMRI scanning sessions. Results of nonspeech complex stimuli across listeners showed activity in 4 out of 9 individuals tested.
