摘要:

Triple gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly. It was first reported separately in 1958 by Boni and by Skielboe. Since then only four further cases have appeared in the literature. An additional case demonstrated on routine oral cholecystography is described, together with a review of the literature.A 46-year-old male complaining of right hypochondrial pain was investigated by oral cholecystography. Physical examination was unremarkable.

摘要:

Some of your readers may be interested to know that the Mullard 4 MV linear accelerator installed at Newcastle General Hospital in 1953 has now been withdrawn from service. The machine was among the very first linear accelerators to be designed specifically for clinical radiotherapy and it represented a major step forward in highenergy technique, owing much to the foresight of Mr. C. J. L. Thurgar, director of radiotherapy and Dr. F. T. Farmer, who was in charge of the physics team.

摘要:

We would like to make the following points in response to Dr. Smith's letter.1. The main conclusion of our communication was that the local operating conditions employed at the Leeds General Infirmary appeared to result in X-ray tube lifetimes significantly above the apparent national average for CT1010 brain scanners.

摘要:

We are pleased to know that the experience of Drs. Davies and Richardson with a hybrid system is in general similar to our own. Our main concern was with the success of the system in upper abdominal work but we should like to comment on their remarks concerning real time scanning in obstetrics.

摘要:

The role of radiology within the wide variety of disciplines involved in patient care, and the relative values of the increasing number of investigative techniques available for patient care were discussed with particular reference to diseases of the urinary tract. The concept of the definitive diagnostic test was presented and the ways in which the level of confidence in a particular diagnosis may be increased were illustrated with examples of simple renal cyst and renal cell carcinoma. The management role of radiology was also reviewed, with emphasis on the determination of the precise stage of the disease and the developing application of interventional radiology to therapy.

摘要:

The microfocal X-ray unit is a constant-potential X-ray generator with a 10–60 kV range and delivering a 1 mA current. The continuously evacuated X-ray column comprises two electromagnetic lenses which throw a greatly reduced electron image of the cathode onto the side of a solid, oil cooled, tungsten target. At 60 kV, 1 mA, the X-ray source size is approximately 6 μm in diameter, the smallest known to date. The object is brought close to the source to obtain high direct magnification up to × 15 within a short camera. The use of rare earth screen/film combinations (Trimax α 16 and α 8) have reduced the exposure times. Noise inherent in these systems is overcome with magnifications of × 3 or more. Phantoms containing grids show that the resolution increases with magnification providing a resolution of 25 μm at × 9.
