Purpose: To evaluate the internal structure of normal extraocular muscles on fat-suppressed dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. Material and Methods: Ten subjects were examined using fat-suppressed dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. We evaluated the enhancement pattern (C-shaped or ring-like) of extraocular muscles and quantified the maximum ratios of enhancement (Rmax) and maximum ratios of signal increase (Vmax). We also quantified Rmax and Vmax in the central and peripheral portions of medial rectus muscles. Results: In the early phase of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, a C-shaped or ring-like pattern was observed in 100% of inferior rectus, 95% of medial rectus, 55% of superior rectus, 20% of lateral rectus, and 15% of superior oblique muscles. Overall mean Rmax and Vmax values showed statistically significant differences to the temporal muscles. For the peripheral portion of medial rectus muscles, mean Rmax and Vmax values were greater than for the central portion. Conclusion: Using fat-suppressed dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, the C-shape or ring-like internal structure of the extraocular muscles could be visualized, and were considered to reflect their structure of orbital and global layers. Potential usefulness of the fat-suppressed dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging for detecting pathological status is suggested.

Background and Purpose: Very few reports are available on changes in the human hippocampus after cardiac arrest. The objective of this study was to investigate if specific hippocampal volume losses can be demonstrated in the human brain following reperfusion after cardiac arrest. Methods: We assessed the volumes of the hippocampal formation (HF) and temporal lobe excluding HF (TL) as the contrast using magnetic resonance (MR)-imaging-based volumetry in 11 vegetative patients after cardiac arrest and in 22 healthy controls of similar age, sex and body size distribution. The measured volumes were normalized for differences in the head size among subjects by dividing by the total intracranial volume (TICV). The MR images of the 11 patients were obtained between days 8 and 21 after cardiac arrest. Results: The observed volumes of HFs and TLs of both patient and control groups were as follows: right HF volume (HFV): 2.67 +/- 0.19 (mean +/- SD, cm(3)) in patients versus 3.89 +/- 0.44 in controls; left HFV: 2.72 +/- 0.17 versus 3.74 +/- 0.35; right TL volume (TLV): 73.37 +/- 6.54 versus 80.08 +/- 7.62, and left TLV: 72.45 +/- 6.77 versus 78.59 +/- 6.68. The normalized indic;es (HFV/TICV and TLV/TICV) were as follows: right HF: 0.0021 +/- 0.0002 (mean +/- SD) in patients versus 0.0031 +/- 0.0001 in controls, p < 0.0001, left HF: 0.0022 +/- 0.0002 versus 0.0030 +/- 0.0001, p < 0.0001, right TL: 0.058 +/- 0.002 versus 0.064 +/- 0.004, p = 0.0007, and left TL: 0.058 +/- 0.002 versus 0.062 +/- 0.004, p = 0.0014. The HFV-TLV ratios (HFV/TICV divided by TLV/TICV) of both groups were: right HFV-TLV ratio: 0.037 +/- 0.004 in patients versus 0.049 +/- 0.004 in controls, p < 0.0001, left HFV-TLV ratio: 0.038 +/- 0.004 versus 0.048 +/- 0.004, p < 0.0001. Conclusions: The patient group had HFs that were 26.8-30.6% smaller than those of the control group, but in the patient group, the TLs slightly decreased in size by only 7.8-8.2% of the volume of those in the control group within 21 days after cardiac arrest. The volume reductions in the bilateral HFs of patients after cardiac arrest were significantly larger than those in the bilateral TLs. We speculate that this specific rapid hippocampal shrinkage reflects its greater vulnerability to global brain ischemia. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
