Abstract:
In monitoring water- or mud-injection of oil well by electrical method, the potential electrodes are placed on the surface and the corresponding current electrode is the steel case of oil well which is a vertical line source of current. The purpose of exploration is to reveal the flow direction and distribution of fluid through these observed data. 3-D resistivity inversion of a vertical line source of current and a method of constructing Jaccobian matrix are introduced in this paper. A preliminary result from a test oilfield is presented. An oil production well is taken as a vertical line source of current, around which 108 electrodes are placed evenly at 6 circles with 50 m space in radius. The medium true resistivity values of 5 horizontal layers ranging from 500 m to 2 000 m deep are obtained. The result shows that this method is effective to monitor the direction and distribution of fluid in a certain layer.

GUO Lü-can, ZHAO Jing
2004, 13(2): 60-63.
Abstract:
Objective: To present a definition of geo-tomography, that is a discipline-branch concerned with the 2D or 3D display and quantitative analysis of the various structure earth-interior by its physical and chemical parameters. This term may be not so familiar in earth-science glossary, it embodies on the following sub-branches:seismic tomography, resistivity tomography, MRS tomography, fracture-plane imaging for seismic focus and image of GPR(ground penetrating radar). Above exploring method can be used to find potential active faults and seismogenic zones which are used to estimate seismic risk, get a reasonable prevention seismic intensity, and ensure safety of high buildings, big bridges, great dam and dikes(for flood disaster reduction).MRS serves in detecting groundwater and drought-resistant. Conclusion: The achievement of geo-tomography presents higher resolution image, serves for the monitoring for magma chamber in volcano regions,and mitigates eruption disaster. The earthquake prediction methods in the future would call for less dependence on past earthquake records and more reliance on improvements about seismogenesis process. The improvement of 3D image display of underground physical parameters (including velocity,density,temperature, elastic & viscosity parameters, absorbing quality factor Q-value etc.)should combine with MRS tomography image, for exploring underground material-transport and its dynamic process, getting higher resolution, that will provide higher quality forecast method, serving in estimating the seismic risk and the possibility of volcano eruption. mitigate the natural disaster.

2004, 13(2): 46-50.
Abstract:
Objective Discuss the application of high pressure injector in CT Contrast Enhancement. Methods 2338 patients underwent CT Contrast Enhancement using high pressure injector.300 patients underwent CT Contrast Enhancement by manual injection were also studied as contrast group. All the patients had negative iodin allergy test results before the examination. The inject speed is 2-3ml/s for adult,and it's 0.5-1.5 ml/s for neonates. The dose of contrast media is 50-80ml for adults; and it must be calculated by the weight for neonates. Results In high pressure injector group, 4 cases had severe allergic shock, which occupied 0.17%; 27 cases had moderate reaction, which occupied 1.2%; 56 cases had mild reaction, which occupied 2.4%; and 9 cases were failed to inject, which occupied 0.34%. In manual injection group, 1 case had allergic shock, which occupied 0.17%; 5 cases had mild reaction, which occupied 1.6; and displacement of contrast media didn't happen in any case. Conclusion With the increase of the inject speed of contrast media, the quality of the CT imagine will be improve, but the side effect will be improve too. So the inject speed must be seriously considered according to the age, examination position, and the situation of the patients.

ZHOU Le-fu, XIANG Zi-yun
2004, 13(2): 54-56.
Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between CT findings and the changing of serum and urine amylase in diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Methods: 63 cases with acute pancreatitis were divided into five grades based on CT findings,and the CT grading relevant to the serum and urine amylase were analyzed. Results: The serum and urine amylase increase slightly or moderately in grading A, moderately in grade B, markedly in grade C, but tended to decrease in grade D, and decreased dramatically in grade E. Conclusion: CT examination is superior to the serum and urine amylase in evaluation of acute pancreatitis with B, C, D and E. But for grade A, accurate diagnosis should be made based on CT findings combined with the changing of serum and urine amylase.
