In order to improve the success rate of scalp venous indwelling needles in infants, image positioning and nursing of scalp venous indwelling needle catheters broken with multislice spiral CT were discussed. In this method, three-dimensional reconstruction of multislice spiral CT was used to diagnose and locate the broken catheter according to the anatomical morphology of the indwelling needle, and the treatment and related nursing were carried out. The results showed that the body temperature was 38.7°C, the pulse was 106 times/min, the respiration was 30 times/min, and the body weight was 15 kg. Laboratory examination: the percentage of leukocytes was 10.00 × 10/L, the percentage of lymphocytes was 24.8%, and the percentage of neutrophils was 63.7%. Head CT examination: no obvious abnormalities were observed. 31.9% of children diagnosed with hyperfebrile convulsions had good image quality after treatment with MSCT for catheter fracture of scalp vein indwelling needle; good quality was 52.8%, and barely diagnosed was 12.1%. Multiple post-treatment functions of MSCT have important value in the application of three-dimensional localization of foreign bodies in soft tissues in children and play a more important role in the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of foreign bodies. Appropriate nursing care for children in the image location examination has very important guiding significance.

A case of lobular capillary haemangioma of the trachea is presented. The patient gave a history of foreign body sensation in the throat and multiple episodes of haemoptysis. The chest X-ray was normal. A spiral computed tomograph (CT) with three-dimensional reconstruction revealed a small tracheal mass in the antero-lateral wall of the trachea, which was excised by endoscopy. The histopathological diagnosis was lobular capillary haemangioma, a rare, benign tumour of the trachea. A high index of suspicion with the spiral CT finding was responsible for early diagnosis of the tumour.

Abstract An unusual fracture of the axis was best displayed using three-dimensional reconstruction. The fracture was noted to differ significantly from the usual “hangman's fracture” as it involved the body of C2 with subluxation of the anterior part of C2 forward on C3 and without “decompression” of the spinal canal at the C2 level. Better understanding made feasible by three-dimensional reconstruction had important treatment implications in this case.

Recent development in confocal and multi-photon microscopy allows 3D imaging of plant tissue in high resolution. However, other than physical sectioning, macroscopical study of plant organs in 3D remains a difficult task. Among various available technologies for macroscopical imaging (e.g., Xray macro-tomography, optical coherent tomography and MRI), MRI is an ideal choice for its contrasting modality in volumetric imaging of soft tissues. A 3T Biospect MRI system (Brucker, Germany)(FIG 1) equipped with a 6cm inner diameter micro-quadrature coil (FIG 2) for RF transmission and reception of MRI signals was used in this study. Spin echo based RARE sequence was used to obtain T2 weighted images with TR/TE = 3160.5/58.5ms and field-of-view of 1.67cm × 1.67cm (256 × 256 pixels) at a slice thickness of 0.8mm. This corresponds to a voxel size of 65 × 65 × 800μm. Data was obtained within 1/2 hour with number-of-excitations (nex) set at 16. Figure 4 (a-x) shows a series of MRI sections through a stem node (the node below the main ear insertion) from field-grown maize (Zea mays, van Odyssey sweet corn). The stem was fixed in 1:3 EtOH/acetic acid, washed thoroughly in water prior to imaging. Air bubbles trapped in the tissue were removed by vacuuming, to avoid imaging artifact due to low magnetic susceptibility of air. Figure 5 (a-g) shows reconstructed longitudinal sections. Three-dimensional reconstruction (FIG. 3) was performed by using Vaytek VoxBlast™ and AutoQuant’s AutoVisulize 3D™ software. in combination with image segmentation and tracing tools, the MRI technology will greatly enhance our capability in the understanding of vascular architecture and its development in plants.
