Aneurysms arising from the ophthalmic artery itself are very rare compared with aneurysms originating from the bifurcation of the ophthalmic artery and carotid artery. There was only one reported case of a ruptured aneurysm of the ophthalmic artery itself. We discuss clinical significance of an aneurysm at this site, as well as the role of three dimentional image of multislice computed tomography angiogram[3D-image of MCTA] in determining the cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage[SAH].

Two cases of the posterior fossa dissecting aneurysm associated with a double origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (DOPICA) causing subarachnoid hemorrhage are presented. After observing a relationship between the aneurysm and DOPICA on a three dimensional rotational angiogram (3DRA), the dissecting aneurysms were successfully obliterated by surgical trapping and endovascular internal trapping, respectively. This report warrants suspecting DOPICA of an associating anomaly predisposing to dissecting aneurysm in the vertebral artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery territory and highlights the role of 3DRA in pretreatment evaluation of unusual aneurysms accompanying a particular anatomical variation.

An image feature extraction method for the low contrast fluoresceln angiogram in dlabetes was studied. To obtain effective image segmentation, an adaptive local difference image is generated and relaxation process are applied to this difference Image. By the use of distance transformed data with segmented image, shape and location of feature regions were obtained. It was shown that the location and shape descriptions of Impaired blood vessel networks and retinal regions are can he utilized for the diagnosis of diabetes and other disease.

Arterial fraction of total hepatic blood flow was estimated by a new method, slope method, on radionuclid angiogram using $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ and was compared with that from $^{99m}Tc-Phytate$ radionuclide angiogram. This study included 11 of normal subjects, 37 of intermediate group with various liver diseases, and 25 patients with liver cirrhosis. We analyzed the datas with slope method from radionuclide angiograms and the results were compared with hepatic arterial fractions from uptake method, introduced by Lee et al. at 1986. The hepatic arterial fractions from radionuclide angiograms using $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ and $^{99m}Tc-Phytate$ were $0.32{\pm}0.09\;and\;0.31{\pm}0.11$ respectively in normal subjects, and $0.75{\pm}0.18\;and\;0.77{\pm}0.21$ respectively in patients with liver cirrhosis. The hepatic arterial fractions by the slope method was well correlated with those of the uptake method on $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ scan. There was high correlation between the hepatic arterial fractions from $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ and $^{99m}Tc-Phytate$ scans. Hepatic arterial fraction estimated by the slope method is a useful index for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and the evaluation of status of portal hypertension.

Blunt cerebrovascular injury is defined as a vertebral or carotid arterial structural wall injury resulting from nonpenetrating trauma. Complete traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion is very rare condition accounting for 0.08~0.4 0f all trauma patients and believed to be associated with the greatest risk of ischemic stroke reported in 50~90% in a few small series. A 55-year-male was admitted with drowsy mentality and severe headache after a fall down accident. Brain computed tomography showed a subdural hematoma at the both frontal area with a fracture of the occipital skull bone. Two days after admission, he suddenly complained with a right side hemiparesis of motor grade 2. Brain magnetic resonance diffusion demonstrated multiple high flow signal changes from the left frontal and parietal lesion. Computed tomographic angiogram (CTA) revealed absence of the left ICA flow. Trans femoral cerebral angiography (TFCA) showed complete occlusion of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) at ophthalmic segment in the left ICA angiogram and flows on the left whole hemispheric lesions through the anterior communicating artery in the right ICA angiogram. We decided to conduct close observations as a treatment for the patient because of acute subdural hematoma and sufficient contralateral cerebral flow by perfusion SPECT scan. Two weeks after the accident, he was treated with heparin anticoagulation within INR 2~4 ranges. He recovered as the motor grade 4 without another neurologic deficit after 3 months.

폐동정맥루는 선천적 혹은 후천적인 원인에 의해 발병할 수 있으며 단락이 존재하는 경우 호흡곤란, 청색증, 폐혈관 잡음 등의 증상이 나타날 수 있다. 진단 방법은 혈액검사, 흉부단순촬영, 흉부전산화 단층촬영, 폐동맥조영술 등이 있으며 그 중 가장 정확한 진단 방법으로는 폐동맥조영술이 있다. 폐동정맥루의 합병증으로는 파열로 인한 혈흉, 뇌농양, 뇌졸중 등이 있으며 이에 대한 치료법으로는 수술적 절제술과 치료적 색전술을 시행할 수 있다. 26세 여자 환자가 내원 30분 전 갑자기 발생된 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부전산화단층촬영과 폐동맥조영술상 우하엽 상분절에서 4${\times}$4${\times}$3 cm의 폐동정맥루가 진단되어 우하엽 절제술을 계획한 후 응급수술을 시행하였다. 저자들은 우하엽 상분절에 발병한 혈흉을 동반한 선천성 폐동정맥루를 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 증례보고하는 바이다.

2D TOF혈관조영술에서 presaturation RF펄스를 사용하여 정맥피에서 나오는 MR신호를 제거하고 얻은 동맥 angiogram에는 band형태로 동맥이 끊어져 나타나는 현상이 자주 보인다. 일부 동맥에서 피의 흐름은 한 심장 주기 동안에 3번의 펄스를 갖는데, 이 중 가운데 펄스는 짧은 기간 동안 역류를 한다. 이 역류하는 동맥피는 정맥피와 같은 방향이기 때문에 presaturation RF펄스에 의해 정맥피 처럼 saturation이 되어서 imaging slice로 흘러 들어가게 될 수 있다. 특히 이러한 경우가 phase encoding step의 dc 부근에서 발생하게 되면 그 때의 단면 영상에서 동맥이 강조가 될 수 없게 되어, 결과적으로 angiogram에는 그 단면을 지나는 동맥의 신호가 없어서 band 형태로 핏줄이 끊어져 나타나게 된다. Imaging slice와 saturation band와의 간격을 변화 시켜 가면서 angiogram을 얻어 봄으로서 이러한 현상을 실험적으로 확인하였다 나아가 saturation band를 rectangle형태에서 ramp 형태로 변경함으로써 이러한 artifacts를 제거 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다

This study was conducted to investigate whether a computer information offered in advance of the test would decrease anxiety degree in coronary angiogram subjects. The study design was a nonequivalent control group, none-synchronized design. The subjects of study were 53 patients who were admitted at C hospital in K city for coronary angiogram. The 53 subjects were assigned to experimental(25) and control(28) groups. The computer information set up by researcher was used as the experimental treatment and 10 minutes long. Spielberger's state anxiety scale translated by Kim and Shin(1978) and sphygmomanometer were used for data collection. The data were collected from July 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001, and analyzed by chi-square, paried t-test, t-test, ANCOVA, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficients using SPSS/PC+. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. The first hypothesis that 'post-test state anxiety score will be lower than pre-test state anxiety score in experimental group' was supported(t=2.40, p=.020). 2. The second hypothesis that 'post-test systole will be lower than pre-test systole in experimental group' was not supported(t=-.30, p=.765). 3. The third hypothesis that 'post-test Diastole will be lower than pre-test diastole in experimental group' was not supported'(t=-1.42, p=.161). 4. The fifth hypothesis that 'the experimental group who is given the computer information will be lower in state anxiety score than the control group who is not given the computer information' was supported(F=9.17, p=.004). 5. The sixth hypothesis that 'the experimental group who is given the computer information will be lower in systole than the control group who is not given the computer information' was supported (F=7.16, p=.010). 6. The seventh hypothesis that 'the experimental group who is given the computer information will be lower in diastole than the control group who is not given the computer information' was not supported'(F=.55, p=.462). 7. The eleventh hypothesis that 'the lower the post-test state anxiety, the lower the uneasiness score during the test' was not supported(r=-.013, p=.926). 8. The eighth hypothesis that 'the lower the post-test state anxiety, the lower the nervousness score during the test' was supported(r=.326, p=.017).
