  • 상악전치부에서 치아 임플란트의 심미적 회복은 경조직, 연조직, 심미적 보철물이 조화를 이루어야 하며 임상의에게 도전적인 과제이다. VIP-CT graft와 같은 새로운 기법이 많은 볼륨의 연조직 이식을 위해서 소개되어졌다. VIP-CT graft의 장점은 많은 연조직의 결손부위를 회복할 수 있고 술후 수축이 적다는 것이다. 게다가 그것은 부가적인 혈행공급을 통해 경조직의 증대도 촉진실킬 수 있다. 이 기법은 환자분의 불편감을 줄여주고 치료시간을 단축시킨다. 이 논문에서는 순면 결손부위가 있는 상악전치부에서 즉시 임플란트 식립을 할때 골이식과 VIP-CT graft 술식을 하는 과정에 대해 설명드리고자 한다.

  • Purpose: Superficial temporal artery(STA) aneurysms are very rare and mostly occur as pseudoaneurysms secondary to trauma. Clinical diagnosis of STA pseudoaneurysm is based on a history of trauma or surgery to frontotemporal region, which presents with pulsatile mass. To confirm diagnosis, many imaging strategies can be used such as digital subtraction angiography, sonography, CT and MRI. But, these imaging modalities are invasive or inaccurate or expensive. Thus, we used 3D CT angiography to confirm STA aneurysm and to get accurate information. Methods: We have experienced two cases of pulsatile mass on the temporal area, suspected as STA pseudoaneurysms. On the basis of clinical information, we performed 3D CT angiography to get more accurate information about this pulsatile mass and to confirm diagnosis. On the basis of information from 3D CT angiography, we performed operation. Results: The lesions were diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm of superficial temporal artery by 3D CT angiography, and surgically resected safely without any complication on the basis of information from 3D CT angiography. 3D CT angiography was excellent diagnostic method for detecting STA pseudoaneurysms, and effectively showed many information about pseudoanerysms such as relationship between the aneurysms and surrounding structures, and its size. Conclusion: We could effectively diagnose and treat on the basis of information from 3D CT angiography. We present our cases with a brief review of the literature related to STA traumatic pseudoaneurysms.

  • 고 해상력 CT에 해당하는 관자뼈 CT는 높은 관전압과 얇은 단면두께 등의 적용으로 스캔 선량이 인접 부위 검사보다 높다. 이에 검사조건 중 재구성 알고리즘을 변화 적용하여 검사 선량을 줄이면서 병변에 대한 민감도가 우수한 알고리즘을 찾아 유의성과 임상 기초자료 제공 가능성을 알아보았다. 그 결과 100 kVp로 관전압을 낮추어 적용 시 선량이 약 35.6% 감소하였고, 100 kVp로 획득한 Raw data에 Definition 알고리즘 적용 시 SNR, CNR이 우수하였으며 다른 알고리즘과 비교 시 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 그리고 구조적 유사도를 비교한 결과 SSIM index가 ROI 별 0.776, 0.813, 0.741로 분석되었다. 따라서 관자뼈 CT 스캔에서 알고리즘 변경적용은 CT 검사로 발생하는 선량을 일부 감소시킬 수 있고 임상 기초자료 측면에서 매우 의미가 있다고 생각한다.

  • Breast radiologists are increasingly seeing patients with axillary adenopathy related to COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination can cause levels I-III axillary as well as cervical lymphadenopathy. Appropriate management of vaccine-related adenopathy may vary depending on clinical context. In patients with current or past history of malignancy, vaccine-related adenopathy can be indistinguishable from nodal metastasis. This article presents imaging findings of oncology patients with adenopathy seen in the axilla or neck on cross-sectional imaging (breast MRI, CT, or PET-CT) after COVID-19 vaccination. Management approach and rationale is discussed, along with consideration on strategies to minimize false positives in vaccinated cancer patients. Time interval between vaccination and adenopathy seen on breast MRI, CT, or PET-CT is also reported.

  • Objective: To investigate the prognostic utility of radiomics features extracted from 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT combined with clinical factors and metabolic parameters in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in individuals diagnosed with extranodal nasal-type NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). Materials and Methods: A total of 126 adults with ENKTCL who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination before treatment were retrospectively included and randomly divided into training (n = 88) and validation cohorts (n = 38) at a ratio of 7:3. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operation Cox regression analysis was used to select the best radiomics features and calculate each patient's radiomics scores (RadPFS and RadOS). Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test were used to compare survival between patient groups risk-stratified by the radiomics scores. Various models to predict PFS and OS were constructed, including clinical, metabolic, clinical + metabolic, and clinical + metabolic + radiomics models. The discriminative ability of each model was evaluated using Harrell's C index. The performance of each model in predicting PFS and OS for 1-, 3-, and 5-years was evaluated using the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Kaplan-Meier curve analysis demonstrated that the radiomics scores effectively identified high- and low-risk patients (all P < 0.05). Multivariable Cox analysis showed that the Ann Arbor stage, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and RadPFS were independent risk factors associated with PFS. Further, β2-microglobulin, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score, SUVmax, and RadOS were independent risk factors for OS. The clinical + metabolic + radiomics model exhibited the greatest discriminative ability for both PFS (Harrell's C-index: 0.805 in the validation cohort) and OS (Harrell's C-index: 0.833 in the validation cohort). The time-dependent ROC analysis indicated that the clinical + metabolic + radiomics model had the best predictive performance. Conclusion: The PET/CT-based clinical + metabolic + radiomics model can enhance prognostication among patients with ENKTCL and may be a non-invasive and efficient risk stratification tool for clinical practice.

  • 목적: 이 연구는 다양한 임상 적응증으로 시행된 전신 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상에서 구개편도의 비대칭적인 섭취 증가의 발견빈도와 악성여부를 조사하고, 악성병변을 시사하는 임상 및 PET/CT 영상소견들을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1년 동안 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT를 시행한 2,901명(평균연령 $58.4{\pm}12.3$세, 연령범위 20~88세, 남성:여성=1,841:1,060)의 PET/CT영상에서 구개편도의 비대칭적 섭취증가 여부 및 형태를 육안적으로 분석하였다. 구개편도에 비대칭적인 섭취증가를 보이는 빈도와 악성률을 조사하였고 관련된 임상적 소견 및 PET/CT 영상에서 동반된 이상소견과의 연관성을 평가하였다. 결과: 2,901명 중 10.0%(291명)에서 구개편도에 비대칭적인 섭취증가를 보였으며 겨울에 가장 빈번하게 관찰되었다(12.1%). 임상 추적관찰 혹은 조직학적 검사를 통해 최종적으로 악성여부가 확인된 209명 중 2.4%(5명)가 악성병변으로 진단되었고 불규칙한 두개편도의 섭취증가나 경부림프절의 섭취증가 소견이 동반된 경우, 원발미상의 경부림프절전이 환자에서 PET/CT를 시행한 경우 악성률이 높았다. 결론: 전신 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT에서 우연히 관찰되는 구개편도의 비대칭적인 섭취증가는 대부분이 양성으로 악성률은 낮았다. 그러나 원발미상의 경부림프절 전이환자나 PET/CT에서 구개편도의 섭취증가가 불규칙할 경우에는 악성의 가능성이 높기 때문에 적극적인 조직학적 검사가 필요하리라 생각된다.

  • Objective: 68Ga-NGUL is a novel prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting tracer based on Glu-Urea-Lys derivatives conjugated to a 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N',N''-triacetic acid (NOTA) chelator via a thiourea-type short linker. This phase I clinical trial of 68Ga-NGUL was conducted to evaluate the safety and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-NGUL in healthy volunteers and the lesion detection rate of 68Ga-NGUL in patients with prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: We designed a prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical trial with two cohorts comprising six healthy adult men and six patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Safety and blood test-based toxicities were monitored throughout the study. PET/CT scans were acquired at multiple time points after administering 68Ga-NGUL (2 MBq/kg; 96-165 MBq). In healthy adults, absorbed organ doses and effective doses were calculated using the OLINDA/EXM software. In patients with prostate cancer, the rates of detecting suspicious lesions by 68Ga-NGUL PET/CT and conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy) during the screening period, within one month after recruitment, were compared. Results: All 12 participants (six healthy adults aged 31-32 years and six prostate cancer patients aged 57-81 years) completed the clinical trial. No drug-related adverse events were observed. In the healthy adult group, 68Ga-NGUL was rapidly distributed, with the highest uptake in the kidneys. The median effective dose coefficient was calculated as 0.025 mSv/MBq, and cumulative activity in the bladder had the highest contribution. In patients with metastatic prostate cancer, 229 suspicious lesions were detected using either 68Ga-NGUL PET/CT or conventional imaging. Among them, 68Ga-NGUL PET/CT detected 199 (86.9%) lesions and CT or bone scintigraphy detected 114 (49.8%) lesions. Conclusion: 68Ga-NGUL can be safely applied clinically and has shown a higher detection rate for the localization of metastatic lesions in prostate cancer than conventional imaging. Therefore, 68Ga-NGUL is a valuable option for prostate cancer imaging.

  • Objective: To investigate the value of initial CT quantitative analysis of ground-glass opacity (GGO), consolidation, and total lesion volume and its relationship with clinical features for assessing the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: A total of 84 patients with COVID-19 were retrospectively reviewed from January 23, 2020 to February 19, 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: severe group (n = 23) and non-severe group (n = 61). Clinical symptoms, laboratory data, and CT findings on admission were analyzed. CT quantitative parameters, including GGO, consolidation, total lesion score, percentage GGO, and percentage consolidation (both relative to total lesion volume) were calculated. Relationships between the CT findings and laboratory data were estimated. Finally, a discrimination model was established to assess the severity of COVID-19. Results: Patients in the severe group had higher baseline neutrophil percentage, increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin levels, and lower baseline lymphocyte count and lymphocyte percentage (p < 0.001). The severe group also had higher GGO score (p < 0.001), consolidation score (p < 0.001), total lesion score (p < 0.001), and percentage consolidation (p = 0.002), but had a lower percentage GGO (p = 0.008). These CT quantitative parameters were significantly correlated with laboratory inflammatory marker levels, including neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, hs-CRP level, and procalcitonin level (p < 0.05). The total lesion score demonstrated the best performance when the data cut-off was 8.2%. Furthermore, the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 93.8% (confidence interval [CI]: 86.8-100%), 91.3% (CI: 69.6-100%), and 91.8% (CI: 23.0-98.4%), respectively. Conclusion: CT quantitative parameters showed strong correlations with laboratory inflammatory markers, suggesting that CT quantitative analysis might be an effective and important method for assessing the severity of COVID-19, and may provide additional guidance for planning clinical treatment strategies.

  • 감쇠 보정법과 산란 보정법은 정량적인 PET검사를 하기 위한 필수적인 방법이다. PET/CT에서는 PET에서 사용하는 소멸방사선과 CT의 X선이 같은 전리 방사선이기 때문에 측정에 의한 CT의 Hounsfield Units를 감쇠 계수로 전환해서 감쇠보정, 산란보정이 가능하다. 그러나 PET/MR에서 MR는 강한 자기장을 걸어 수소밀도와 조직의 이완률차이로 되돌아오는 변화로 신호를 획득하기 때문에 CT처럼 전환하는 것은 불가능하다. Ingenuity TF PET/MR장비는 soft tissue, lung, air로 3구역을 segment하여 MR 감쇠지도를 얻는다. 이에 신호획득원리가 완전히 상이한 PET/MR과 PET/CT에 대한 정량적 평가를 하고자 한다. Phantom study로 uniform cylinder phantom에 증류수 9293 ml와 $^{18}F$-FDG 199.8 MBq를 넣고 magnetic stirrer를 이용하여 균일하게 교반한 후 60 min부터 15분 간격으로 Ingenuity TF PET/MR, Gemini TF 64, Biograph Truepoint 40를 이용하여 각각 single-bed로 2 min씩으로 영상을 얻었다. phantom의 중심부분 10개의 slice에 대한 동일한 관심영역을 그려 SUVs를 측정하고 평균, 표준편차를 구하였다. 그리고 임상적용을 위한 평가로 $^{18}F$-FDG 섭취가 정상인 환자를 대상으로 90 sec/bed씩 Ingenuity TF PET/MR을 시행한 후 Gemini TF 64 PET/CT 검사를 실시하였다. 각각의 data에서 lung, liver, spleen, bone 위치에 동일한 관심영역을 그려 SUVs 최대값과 평균값을 측정하고, %Difference를 구하였다. 또한, PET 장비들 사이에서의 일치도를 평가하기 위해 Bland-Altman plot 분석을 하였다. Phantom study에서 3가지 장비에서 측정한 SUVs 최대값과 평균값은 Biograph Truepoint 40, Gemini TF 64, Ingenuity TF PET/MR 순으로 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. patients study에서는 MR과 CT로 감쇠 보정한 PET장비의 SUVs 최대값과 평균값이 서로 유의미한 차이가 없었다.(p<0.05) Lung에서 left middle lobe과 transverse bone을 제외하고는 MR로 감쇠 보정한 PET의 SUVs가 대체로 낮았다. Bland Altman Plot으로 분석한 결과 대부분의 항목에서 95% 신뢰구간의 일치한계선내에서 측정되었다. PET/CT에서는 time of flight 기능을 가진 PET이 SUVs가 낮게 측정되었다. PET/MR과 PET/CT에서 알아본 SUVs차이는 MR을 이용한 분할 감쇠 보정방법이 CT를 사용한 측정 감쇠보정방법보다 SUVs가 낮게 측정되었다. 이러한 다른 감쇠 보정법에 의한 SUVs의 차이는 임상적으로는 용인할 수준에 있었지만, 향후 PET/MR와 PET/CT의 정량적인 값을 비교 분석할 때 PET 장비들간의 특성은 고려할 필요가 있다.
