摘要:
肾上腺是一系列复杂的生理和肿瘤疾病过程的所在地。虽然专用肾上腺计算机断层扫描(CT)是肾上腺病变的金标准成像方式,但肾上腺病理学的成像特征之间存在显着的重叠。这通常会给放射学诊断和随后确定最佳手术方法带来挑战。电影渲染 (CR) 是一种新颖的 CT 后处理技术,利用先进的光建模来生成高度真实的解剖可视化。这为肾上腺肿块的评估带来了独特的前景。作为首批将 CR 纳入常规诊断检查的大型三级护理中心之一,我们使用 CR 的初步经验是积极的,并且我们发现 CR 是手术计划期间的一个有价值的辅助手段。在此,我们强调 CR 技术在肾上腺病变检查中的独特效用,并对这种新颖显示方法在此环境中应用相关的机会和障碍提供评论。版权所有 © 2023 Société française de radiologie。由 Elsevier Masson SAS 出版。版权所有。
The adrenal gland is home to an array of complex physiological and neoplastic disease processes. While dedicated adrenal computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard imaging modality for adrenal lesions, there exists significant overlap among imaging features of adrenal pathology. This can often make radiological diagnosis and subsequent determination of the optimal surgical approach challenging. Cinematic rendering (CR) is a novel CT post-processing technique that utilizes advanced light modeling to generate highly photorealistic anatomic visualization. This generates unique prospects in the evaluation of adrenal masses. As one of the first large tertiary care centers to incorporate CR into routine diagnostic workup, our preliminary experience with using CR has been positive, and we have found CR to be a valuable adjunct during surgical planning. Herein, we highlight the unique utility of CR techniques in the workup of adrenal lesions and provide commentary on the opportunities and obstacles associated with the application of this novel display method in this setting.Copyright © 2023 Société française de radiologie.
