Abstract:

For today it is possible to allocate two basic strategies of images primary analysis during virtual colonoscopy (VC): it means interpretation on the basis of 2D and 3D reconstruction data

Purpose. Was to compare 2D and 3D analysis programs during VC: they were compared on interpretation time,on sensitivity of polyp's detection

Materials and methods. The research consisted of 80 patients. All detected new growth during VC were put into protocols of interpretation, with instructions of quantity, form and size

All the patients were underwent VC, including biopsy and further histological research Also, time spent for analysis of each research was fixed

Conclusions. Sensitivity of 3D virtual dissection during primary imaging analysis in almost the same in comparison with 2D, but interpretation time is higher in 2D.

Abstract:

Background: this report describes our experience in CT-perfision (CTP) use for evaluation of rectal tumors neoadjuvant treatment effectiveness. Tumor response for combination of radiation and chemotherapy was related to CTP pattern.

Material and Methods: five patients aged 48 - 62 years with rectal adenocarcinomas histologically verified (4 patients of T3N0M0 stage and 1 patient T3N1 M0) were included. All of them had combined neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by surgery. Before and after neoadjuvant treatment virtual colonoscopy (VCS) with CTP was done in all the cases prior to surgical intervention.

Results and Conclusions: comparing perfusion pattern in rectal tumor and in normal tissue, we saw blood volume (BV) to be significantly increased, and mean transit time (MTT) moderately shortened in tumor tissues. Tumor tissue BV in neoadjuvant therapy responders was much higher than in those for whom the therapy appeared to be ineffective. On combination of radio- and chemotherapy, BVin tumor tissue significantly decreased, and MTT elongated.
