magnetic resonance tomography

Aim: To evaluate the possibilities of the magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) in diagnostics and identification of neurosyphilis. Materials and methods: A total of 1387 patients with different forms of documented neurosyphilis were examined to study the deficiency of neurological function. The diagnosis of neurosyphilis was confirmed by CSF-study. MRT was performed in 57 cases. Results: Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) in 6 patients showed no pathology, 16 patients had arachnoid cystic changes and in 16 cases hydrocephaly occurred. Cerebral cortical atrophy was presented in 13 patients, in 12 cases — multifocal changes were visualized, 12 patients had white matter structural changes. Two cases required diagnostics. A 59-year-old man was hospitalized with epileptic seizure, progressive dementia and multifocal neurologic symptoms. A 40-year-old man was examined with recurring episodes of acute cere-brospinal accident and progressing cognitive disorders. Conclusion: MRT could be used in differential diagnostics of neurosyphilis imitating space-occupying lesions of cerebrum and spinal cord, tumors of central nervous system and could help to define the form of neurosyphilis

The research goal is the comparative analysis of Russian and foreign studies concerned the possibility of radiological methods of diagnostics of cancer of urinary bladder. The problem of early diagnostics of initial tumor and tumor recurrence, determination of stages of bladder cancer, its prognosis and outcome remains an actual one

In scientific article the research goal is the comparative analysis of data of clinical, laboratory and radiation diagnostic techniques of prostate cancer with histomorphological tumor gradation by Gleason scale. the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and index PSA D depend on parameters on Gleason scale. Ultrasonic findings are correlated with histomorphological gradation of adenocarcinoma. Magnetic-resonance imaging is effective only with 8-10 points on Gleason scale. In the research 217 patients with suspecting prostate cancer have been included. As a result prostate cancer has been diagnosed in 157 (72,4%) patients, prostate adenoma - in 60 (27,6%) patients

The magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) was carried out for 53 patients with clinical presentations of cholecystitis.
Advantages of MRT in diagnostics of cholecystitis and its complications were studied: non-contrasting cholandiopancreatografy, with receiving of images in any projection, opportunity of carrying outof multiplanar reconstruction, intensive staining of soft tissues with receiving of three-dimensional images of bile tracts and absence of radiation sickness.
