  Comparative Study

  [The value of magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) for evaluating ventricular and anastomotic functions in patients with an extra- or intracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC)-modified Fontan operation].

  To evaluate different MR methods (ventricle and flow measurements) for the postoperative follow-up of hemodynamics in patients with extra- or intracardial TCPC. ⋯ MRI is a useful method for the assessment of ventricular function and muscle mass in the follow-up after the modified Fontan operation. MRI flow measurements additionally provided clinically relevant information about the hemodynamics in Fontan patients.

  Comparative Study

  [The evaluation of experimentally induced injuries to the upper cervical spine with a digital x-ray technic, computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography].

  To compare digital X-ray, CT, and MRI in the evaluation of ligamentous and osseous lesions in upper cervical spine specimens after artificial craniocervical injury with the findings of macroscopic preparation. ⋯ In post-mortem studies, CT was superior to MRI in the visualization of osseous and ligamentous injuries after trauma of the upper cervical spine. However, these results are not transferable to patients with rotation injury in general.
