ABSTRACTAn unusual a, qe of dorsal spinal dysraphisrn in a four yar old child is presented. Various abnormalities including diasternatomyelia, an extradural arachnoid cyst arising from one of the two dural tubes, and lipomeningomyelocele with a related rib‐like bony structure were demonstrated with Iohexol CT and subsequently confirmed at surger

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe computed tomographic (CT) features of ten documented eases of spinal tuberculosis were analyzed. AN cases showed evidence of vertebral body destructioo, with paravertebral soft tissue masses. Four cases revealed extension of involvement into the neural arches Calcification within the paraspinal soft tissue was found in only two cases. Two of four cases who received intravenous contrast medium demonstrated evidence of rim enhancement around multilocuated fluid collections. Compared to conventional roentgenography, CT better delineated the extent of bony destruction, involvement of the spinal canal and existence of paraspinal soft tissue masses.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA prospective study was carried out in 100 cases of suspected occult spinal dysraphic anomalies with Magnetic Resonance Imaging in order to determine its diagnostic efficacy as the initial imaging modality. MR imaging provided accurate preoperative information in 91 out of 92 cases (98.9%). Some of the unusual and interesting findings in the series were: presence of intrinsic cord abnormality in 19 out of 21 cases (90.4%) with a normal plain radiograph, 4 cases of diastematomyelia with a dermoid in the dorsal and lumbar region associated with syringohydromyelia, intradural fibrous/glial bands, sgringo‐hydromyelia/myelomalacia of the conus with tethered cord syndrome having a normally placed conus, and myelocystocele. It is concluded that MRI is an excellent primary diagnostic tool, together with a plain radiograph, for complete preoperative evaluation of mid‐tine spinal anomal

摘要:

ABSTRACTBoth systemic and local therapy, for conditions of the breast and unrelated to it, may produce manuno‐graphic changes. Some of these are characteristic, such as the pattern of scarring seen in reduction mammo‐plasty. In many other instances, however, the changes produced overlap features commonly seen in malignancy. A knowledge of the timing, natural history and spectrum of these changes will aid mammographic interpretat

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe results of radiological investigations performed on 81 children with urinary tract infection (UTI) were reviewed. Investigations included 91 voiding cys‐tourethrograms (VCU), 59 intravenous urograms (IVU) and 36 ultrasonograms (US). The aim was to study the local spectrum of renal tract abnormalities in childhood UTI and to compare the diagnostic yield of combining US and VCU against IVU and VCU.Renal tract abnormalities were detected in 37%. Vesico‐ureteric reflux (VUR) was the commonest, detected in 26%, with renal scarring found in 9% of refluxing units. Ultrasound should replace IVU in the initial diagnostic work‐up of these chi

摘要:

ABSTRACTA patient is described with an indolent scrotal mass complicated by acute hydroeoele which was proven to be due to malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis. Although uncommon, the possibility of scrotal mass lesion should be eonsidered in ultrasound examination of hydrocoeles with atypical presentations.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA 12.5% corn oil‐emulsion (COE) was tested as an oral contrast agent for abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations in 100 patients. The results were compared with those obtained from another group of patients who received a conventional, high‐density, oral contrast agent (2–3% iodinated solution). There was no statistically significant difference in the subjects' tolerance to the two agents (P>0.05). There was, however, a significant improvement in image quality with COE (P>0.005). Gastrointestinal tract discrimination, and mucosal and mural visualisation was of higher quality with fat density oral contrast medium than with the high‐density contrast agent. These data suggest that COE should be considered for routine use as an alternative to conventional high density oral contrast agents in upper abdom

摘要:

ABSTRACTThirty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were examined by MRI. Distinctive findings of HCC such as the presence of fatty degeneration, a capsule, mosaic pattern, daughter nodules and tumor thrombi in major veins were noted in 6, 13, 1, 10 and 9 cases or 20%, 43%, 3%, 33% and 30% respectively.
