Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray computed tomographic (CT) imaging of the brain were performed on nine patients with clinical evidence of cerebral involvement by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Focal lesions were demonstrated in eight patients by NMR and in six by CT. The examinations with both techniques were negative in one patient and showed essentially identical pathological conditions in three patients. In three patients NMR demonstrated more numerous lesions than CT. All lesions seen on CT were also seen on NMR, mostly with greater clarity and extent. In view of the limited number of patients, this study is preliminary, but it appears that NMR demonstrates more accurately the degree of brain involvement in SLE than CT.
对9例有系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）脑部受累临床证据的患者进行了脑部核磁共振（NMR）和X射线计算机断层扫描（CT）成像检查。8例患者通过NMR发现有局灶性病变，6例通过CT发现有局灶性病变。两种检查在1例患者中均为阴性，在3例患者中显示出基本相同的病理状况。在3例患者中，NMR显示的病变比CT更多。CT上看到的所有病变在NMR上也能看到，大多数情况下清晰度和范围更高。鉴于患者数量有限，本研究是初步的，但似乎NMR比CT更能准确显示SLE患者脑部受累的程度。
