從不同維度看頸動(dòng)脈MRI技術(shù)的發(fā)展史,有助于加深我們對(duì)整個(gè)歷程的了解。我們?cè)?/span>按時(shí)間線的角度,捋了一遍頸動(dòng)脈管壁MRI成像技術(shù)的發(fā)展史(漫談1 | 頸動(dòng)脈管壁MRI成像發(fā)展史):從體外到在體,從動(dòng)物到人體,從髂動(dòng)脈到頸動(dòng)脈,從識(shí)別斑塊成分到關(guān)聯(lián)卒中風(fēng)險(xiǎn),從成像技術(shù)的研發(fā)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化臨床研究工具的發(fā)布,頸動(dòng)脈MRI管壁成像技術(shù)愈發(fā)成熟,并不斷在科研和臨床發(fā)力,助力卒中防治事業(yè)。
- 首先,研究者證明了斑塊特征(薄/破裂的纖維帽,大脂質(zhì)核,斑塊內(nèi)出血)與臨床事件相關(guān)(斑塊進(jìn)展、TIA,卒中等);
- 其次不同領(lǐng)域的專家對(duì)該技術(shù)的臨床價(jià)值和經(jīng)濟(jì)效益廣泛的分析與討論,能使哪些人群受益(無癥狀患者 and 隱源性卒中患者)?受益形式如何體現(xiàn)(優(yōu)化治療方式)?受益多少(壽命延長(zhǎng)or經(jīng)濟(jì)支出減少);
- 最后該技術(shù)逐步走進(jìn)臨床一線,不斷積累應(yīng)用經(jīng)驗(yàn),目前主要用于輔助醫(yī)生診斷斑塊性質(zhì),解決以下幾個(gè)問題:斑塊是不是高危?什么類型的高危?高危到什么程度?斑塊需不需要治療?需要什么樣的治療?治療的效果如何?
我們也曾從研究主題出發(fā),專項(xiàng)了解每一個(gè)細(xì)分技術(shù)的發(fā)展:
- 斑塊內(nèi)出血(漫談4 | 頸動(dòng)脈管壁MRI成像發(fā)展史):斑塊內(nèi)出血作為明確的斑塊易損特征,已經(jīng)引起影像科和神經(jīng)內(nèi)科大夫的極大重視,然而這種認(rèn)識(shí)也是經(jīng)歷了一定的時(shí)間積累和經(jīng)驗(yàn)驗(yàn)證:斑塊內(nèi)出血的成像→組織學(xué)驗(yàn)證→炎癥關(guān)聯(lián)→卒中等不良臨床事件關(guān)聯(lián)。
我們也曾從“研究者”的角度,匯總了Chun Yuan,Thomas S. Hatsukami和William Kerwin的一作論文(漫談2 | 頸動(dòng)脈管壁MRI成像發(fā)展史),研究思路可簡(jiǎn)單總結(jié)為:斑塊負(fù)荷與成分(纖維帽、脂質(zhì)壞死核和斑塊內(nèi)新生血管)的成像與識(shí)別→斑塊內(nèi)新生血管與炎癥的關(guān)聯(lián)→CASCADE的開發(fā)→不同場(chǎng)強(qiáng)的驗(yàn)證→臨床應(yīng)用價(jià)值的探索。從以上系列文章不難發(fā)現(xiàn),華盛頓大學(xué)血管影像實(shí)驗(yàn)室相關(guān)研究工作貢獻(xiàn)了主要且重大的推動(dòng)力。今天我們就直接從整個(gè)“研究組“出發(fā),介紹一下其在頸動(dòng)脈管壁成像史中的相關(guān)工作。總結(jié)下來,主要可以概括為兩個(gè)部分:1)開發(fā)新的成像和后處理技術(shù),用于易損斑塊成像領(lǐng)域,以更好地理解中風(fēng)的潛在病因;2)開發(fā)易損斑塊風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估工具(如評(píng)分流程和系統(tǒng)),幫助臨床醫(yī)生和研究人員評(píng)估血管壁的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)并預(yù)測(cè)臨床事件。主要貢獻(xiàn)和成果如下:算法開發(fā):開發(fā)了一套用于血管壁分析的算法,并將其集成到CASCADE 綜合軟件包中。為了優(yōu)化該軟件在臨床醫(yī)生和研究人員中的應(yīng)用,研究組還 制定了 驗(yàn)證流程和工作流程,并積極推動(dòng) CASCADE 算法的商業(yè)化。這一算法最終被整合到 VPDiagnostics Inc. 的商業(yè)版本 PlaqueView 中,成為易損斑塊成像領(lǐng)域的重要工具。這一領(lǐng)域的主要成果發(fā)表在以下文獻(xiàn)中:
