Avaliação da concordância entre ressonância magnética de ultra-sonografia na classificação de fibrose periportal em esquitossomóticos, segundo a classificação de Niamey

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a reprodutibilidade da ressonância magnética e a concordância entre a ultra-sonografia e a ressonância magnética na classificação da fibrose periportal em pacientes esquistossomóticos, segundo os critérios qualitativos de Niamey. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo prospectivo e duplo-cego, entre fevereiro de 2005 e junho de 2006, em 20 pacientes (10 homens e 10 mulheres, idades entre 24 e 60 anos, média de 42,75 anos) com diagnóstico de esquistossomose mansônica. As imagens de ultra-so… Show more

“…The field-of-view of the images includes the whole abdomen and the images can be saved for further review and analysis. Another study reported a poor agreement between ultrasound and MRI; the analysis of MRI showed perfect inter-observer agreement in 14 patients (Scortegagna et al 2007).…”

“…Many complications associated with schistosomiasis are related to periportal fibrosis and, in our community, the studies by Santos et al (1) and Scortegagna et al (2) have investigated the use of ultrasonography in the classification of this fibrosis. The sonographic method may be reliably used in this classification, and these Brazilian studies have added the information that magnetic resonance imaging may contribute in those situations of discrepancy between the sonographic evaluation and the clinical findings of patients with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni.…”
