Abstract
|
|
|
The Carbon disulfide(CS2) is colorless liquid which is very strong in volatility. It is used for manufacturing Artificial silk, Cellophan and Carbon tetrachloride and also as an agent for fumigation. The clinical condition, which may be appeared due to intoxication of Carbon disulfide, is very diverse, and if it is exposed in high concentration for long time to Central nerve system, it may cause acute or sub acute encephalopathy due to the toxicity specially influenced on Central Nerve system. The clinical conditions of headache, dizziness, fatigue and memory disturbance may be shown. Now the writer has gained Brain Sectional Image by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging : MRI with subjects of patients who have been exposed to Carbon disulfide for a certain period and then has analyzed the comments to be resulted in the following :
1. Multiple infarction : 34%
2. Sinusitis : 30%
3. negative study : 28 %
The equipment used in this connection was Hitachi MR Imaging system(MRP-20) and protocol was Fov=240 mm, matrix=256 X 256, Average 2-3, Slice thickness 7.5 mm, TR/TE 400-600/20-3msec(T1WI), TR/TE 2000/80-100 msec(T2WI), TR/TE 2000/30-40msec(PDWI).
