  • To determine the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings and natural history of cerebral fat embolism in a cat model, and to correlate the MR imaging and histologic fmdings. Intemel carotid artery of 11 cats was injected with 0.1 ml of triolein. T2-weighted, T1-weighted and Gd-enhanced T1-weighted images were obtained serially for 2 hours, 1 days, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after embolization. Any abnormal signal intensity was evaluated. After MR imaging at 3 weeks, brain tissue was obtained for light microscopic (LM) examination using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Luxol fast blue staining, and for electron microscopic examination. The LM examination with HE staining revealed normal histological findings in the greater part of an embolized lesion. Cystic change was observed in the gray matter of 8 cats, while in the gray and white matter of 3 cats. At LM examination, Luxol fast blue, staining demonstrated demyelination around the cystic change occurring in the white matter, and EM examination of the embolized cortex revealed sporadic intracapillary fat vacuoles (n=11) and disruption of the blood-brain barrier (n=4). Most lesions were normal, however, and perivascular interstitial edema and cellular swelling were mild compared with the control side. The greater part of an embolized lesion showed reversible findings at MR and histological examination. Irreversible focal necrosis was, however, observed in gray and white matter at weeks 3.

  • Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) often show muscular disorder, internal derangement and degenerative change of articular surface of the condyle. It is important to choose adequate diagnostic method for obtaining data for the diagnosis and treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has some advantages, because it shows good resolution image for the soft tissue and it is not invasive to the human body. We have performed serial research about the retrodiscal tissue of the TMJ according to the progress of the disease, using T2 weighted image, since 2002. In this study, we applicated resized observation area to compare signal intensity between the retrodiscal tissue of the TMJ and cerebral gray matter, using T2 weighted image.

  • Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions on the unit ball B of $\mathbb{C}^n$. Let $\varphi$ = (${\varphi}_1,{\ldots}{\varphi}_n$) be a holomorphic self-map of B and $g{\in}2$(B) with g(0) = 0. In this paper we study the boundedness and compactness of the generalized composition operator $C_{\varphi}^gf(z)=\int_{0}^{1}{\mathfrak{R}}f(\varphi(tz))g(tz){\frac{dt}{t}}$ from generalized weighted Bergman spaces into Bloch type spaces.

  • For µ = (µ1, …, µt) (µj > 0), ξ = (z1, …, zt, w) ∈ ℂn1 × … × ℂnt × ℂm, define $${\Omega}({\mu},t)=\{{\xi}{\in}\mathbb{B}_{n_1}{\times}{\cdots}{\times}\mathbb{B}_{n_t}{\times}\mathbb{C}^m:{\parallel}w{\parallel}^2 where $\mathbb{B}_{n_j}$ is the unit ball in ℂnj (1 ≤ j ≤ t), C(χ, µ) is a constant only depending on χ = (n1, …, nt) and µ = (µ1, …, µt), which is a special type of generalized Cartan-Hartogs domain. We will give some sufficient and necessary conditions for the boundedness of some type of operators on Lp(Ω(µ, t), ω) (the weighted Lp space of Ω(µ, t) with weight ω, 1 < p < ∞). This result generalizes the works from certain classes of generalized complex ellipsoids to the generalized Cartan-Hartogs domain Ω(µ, t).

  • 본 논문은 T2강조 MR 영상과 확산강조 MR 영상의 강체 정합을 통해 크기, 위치, 회전 변환 왜곡을 보정하여 자궁내막암의 위치를 자동으로 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 영상해상도와 밝기값 분포가 서로 다른 두 영상간 정합의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해 잡음을 제거하고 두 영상의 밝기값 신호 분포의 유사성을 강화시킨다. 유사성이 향상된 두 영상의 크기, 위치, 회전 변환 왜곡을 보정하기 위해 정규화 상호정보를 최대화 하는 강체 정합을 반복적으로 수행한다. 정합된 영상에서 악성 종양을 쉽게 판별 할 수 있도록 현상확상계수지도를 컬러맵으로 생성하여 T2강조 MR 영상에서 얻은 종양의 후보군에 매핑하여 T2강조 MR 영상과 융합한다. 실험을 위하여 최적화 반복 과정에 따른 정규화 상호정보 수치 수렴 과정을 확인하고, 융합 후 종양 영역이 매핑되는 것을 육안평가를 통해 분석하였다. 제안방법을 통하여 T2강조 MR 영상과 확산강조 MR 영상을 융합함으로써 종양의 위치를 자동으로 파악하고 자궁내막암의 병기를 확정하는 용도로 활용할 수 있다.

  • Primary intracranial melanoma is uncommon. These tumors most commonly occur at the temporal lobe, cerebellum and cerebellopontine angle. We report a case of intracranial malignant melanoma of the occipital lobe in a 60-year-old man who presented with headache and visual disturbance. The mass showed hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hypointensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. He underwent gross total removal of tumor and received radiotherapy. Follow-up imaging studios showed neither recurrence nor any signs of residual disease for 4 months.

  • 목적: 척수경색의 진단에서 현성확산계수 값의 측정을 포함한 확산강조자기공명영상의 유용성을 평가하고자하였다. 대상 및 방법: 척수 경색으로 진단받은 6명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 경색증상 발현 후 평균 5.4일이 지난 후에 1.5 T 초전도체 자기공명영상 기기를 이용하여 자기공명영상을 얻었다. 확산강조자기공명영상은 고식적인 b값($1000s/\textrm{mm}^2$)으로 하여 multi-shot echo planar imaging 기법을 이용하여 영상을 획득하였으며 개인용 컴퓨터로 옮겨져 현성확산계수 지도를 얻어 정상부위와 병변부위의 현성확산계수 값을 측정하였다. 자기공명영상에서 병변의 위치와 T1 과 T2 강조영상, 그리고 확산강조자기공명영상에서 나타나는 각각의 신호강도를 알아 보았고, 병변부위와 정상부위에서 측정한 현성확산계수 값을 비교하였다. 결과: T1강조영상에서 6예 중 4예에서 등신호강도를, 2예에서 저신호 강도를 보였고, T2강조 영상에서 6예 모두 고신호강도를 보였다. 또한 확산강조자기공명영상에서 6예 모두 고신호강도를 보였다. 현성확산계수 지도는 6예 전예에서 성공적으로 얻을 수 있었다. 현성확산계수 지도에서 6예 모두 정상과 뚜렷한 차이를 보이는 색조변화를 보였으며, 6예 모두 병변부위의 현성확산계수 값은 정상 부위의 현성확산계수의 값보다 더 낮았으며 통계적으로 유의하였다 (p<0.05 ). 결론: 척수경색 환자에서 척수병변의 확산강조자기공명영상과 현성확산계수 값의 측정이 가능하였다. 따라서 확산강조자기공명영상은 척수경색의 조기진단과 국재화(localization)에 유용하리라 보여진다.

  • The purpose of this study was to establish reproducible ischemic infarction model using allogenic blood clot in beagle dogs and identify induced ischemic lesion after middle cerebral artery occlusion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathologic findings. Twenty eight male beagle dogs with no evidence of neurologic disease were experimented. Allogenic embolus was made using a healthy beagle dog. After internal carotid artery (ICA) was exposure, 16G catheter was introduced through the ICA. The dog was administered 0.3 ml blood clot for 15 seconds followed by 3 ml of saline for 15 seconds. MRI scans were performed with 1.5T to evaluate ischemic lesion at 7 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion procedure. Evaluation parameters of MRI include location, distribution, infarction type, margin, shape, mass effect and intensity of T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). On MRI, all dogs (28/28) showed focal or multifocal lesion including telencephalon and thalamus lesions, especially caudate nucleus (24/28). These lesions had well-defined margin from adjacent brain parenchyma, none or mild mass effect and various shape. Most of dogs appeared hyperintensity on T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, and DWI/ADC, corresponding to chronic infarction. These lesions were histopathologically confirmed atrophic changes and unstained lesion. In conclusion, MRI is the useful method to provide information about ischemic infarction in dogs and the best reproducible ischemic infarction model was developed by using allogenic blood clot.

  • Primary central nervous system (CNS) melanoma is a rare condition that accounts for only 1% of all melanomas. A 34-year-old Korean female presented with a two-month history of progressive weakness in both legs. Spinal magnetic resonance image (MRI) revealed a spinal cord tumor at the level of T4, which was hyperintense on T1-weighted imaging and hypointense on T2-weighted imaging. The intradural and extramedullary tumor was completely resected and diagnosed as melanoma. There were no metastatic lesions. At three years after surgery, the patient is still alive, with no evidence of tumor recurrence. We present the details of this case along with a comprehensive review of spinal cord melanoma.
