TL;DR: A coronary arteriographic report presentation consisting of a diagram on which the radiologist draws the coronary arterial anatomy of each individual case is described, which allows a clear visual presentation of all the information gained from the analysis of the original arteriography.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the normal thyroid gland is vulnerable to the damaging effects of external irradiation, and that the combination of neck irradiation and lymphangiography is more likely to result in thyroid dysfunction than isneck irradiation alone.

TL;DR: The accuracy and sensitivity of the 99Tcm-phosphate bone scan and conventional skeletal radiology have been compared and it is indicated that the bone scan is a more sensitive method for the detection of skeletal metastases.

TL;DR: The radiographic demonstration of the evolution of ulceration closely reflects what is seen on macroscopic examination of excised specimens and explains the characteristic patchiness and discontinuity of disease.

TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy of the DCBM and of endoscopy were compared in 50 consecutive patients and a percentage score method was evolved to allow a numerically more significant assessment.

TL;DR: In this article, grey-scale ultrasonography was used to monitor patients with lymphomas both before and after laparotomy and showed the ability to display the internal consistency of soft organs.

TL;DR: The clinical and radiological features of 22 patients with crossed ectopic kidneys are reported, including a case with unusual mobility of an unfused ectopic kidney.

TL;DR: The favourable response in the study group was 77% as against 20.9% in the control group, and the differential response is statistically significant.

TL;DR: Hilar and mediastinal node enlargement may be a manifestation of the spread of renal tumours and especially a lower right hilar node may be the presenting feature of a renal tumour.

TL;DR: It is the authors' impression that surgical intervention is not a matter of urgency in the treatment of leiomyoma of the oesophagus as their tendency to undergo malignant change is very rare.

TL;DR: Twenty-two cases of serologically proven pulmonary mycoplasma infection have been reviewed and all showed abnormality on plain chest radiographs, but a definitive diagnosis could not be made on initial or individual films.

TL;DR: Percutaneous needle localisation is reported, being the first to report difficulty with a localisation technique and will analyse possible reasons.

TL;DR: Twenty-five patients treated for glomus jugulare tumours over a 13-year period are reviewed, the majority receiving radiotherapy only, and Radiotherapy would seem to offer excellent prospect of satisfactory tumour control.

TL;DR: The radiological appearances of localised giant pseudopolyposis secondary to ulcerative or granulomatous colitis are described and illustrated and the differential diagnosis is discussed.

TL;DR: Thirty-one out of 32 pancreatic carcinomas were correctly diagnosed pre-operatively by the use of a combination of the two examinations, and six measured less than 2 cm in diameter.

TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that a barium meal with Buscopan is as accurate as endoscopy in the detection of oesophageal varices.

TL;DR: Ultrasound can provide more information than existing diagnostic methods and is particularly useful for defining the volume of metastatic nodal masses and its role should be regarded as complementary to that of lymphography.

TL;DR: Results show that good response to curative radiotherapy varies inversely with the duration of the disease, and response to chemotherapy from the literature has been discussed in order to highlight similar peculiarities attending the use of radiation on the normal tissues of the limbs.

TL;DR: Comparison of data obtained in this study with previously reported data for carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma indicate that with increasing clinical stage of the disease, a considerable lengthening of the potential doubling time of the tumour cells occurs.

TL;DR: 99Tcm-phosphate bone scans are being increasingly used in the detection of bony metatases and the non-specific nature of the isotope image makes it important to be aware of the problems and limitations of the technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the relevant technical factors such as the use of window levels and window widths, tissue attenuation values and filtering, and the importance of the applied anatomy and use of contrast agents for computed tomography in clinical practice.

TL;DR: Simple nomographic and tabular methods for the solution of practical problems of any complexity on the CRE-system are presented and nomenclature is introduced to describe schedules and regimes as compactly as possible.

TL;DR: Both caeruloplasmin level and sedimentation rate showed a slight increase in mean level in patients with active disease as compared with those in remission, particularly in the group of patients with poorly or undifferentiated diffuse disease.

TL;DR: The commonest appearance seen in a hydatidiform mole is the combination of multiple small transonic areas with uneven echogenicity in the remainder of the uterine cavity.

TL;DR: Dimmer X is the positive contrast medium of choice at the present time for knee arthrography examinations and a possible method to distinguish normal from damaged or degenerate tissues is suggested.

TL;DR: Mortality in this series was extremely high and in excess of that usually found either with an aneurysmal re-bleed or an intracerebral haematoma or both; however, although a combination of these two lesions is notoriously hazardous, perhaps the added insult of the contrast medium extravasation is the cause for the inordinately high fatality rate.

TL;DR: An awareness that children with cerebral palsy are at risk from subluxation and dislocation of the hip and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment are emphasised.

TL;DR: It is clear that either an absolute increase in radiographic density or structural failure are the earliest radiological features in patients with osteonecrosis.

TL;DR: Radiographs of the shoulder girdle were examined in 180 women who attended the breast follow-up clinic at the Department of Radiotherapy, Edinburgh and the significance of osteoporosis as a sequel to irradiation is doubtful.

TL;DR: The main arthrographic patterns encountered were found in complete and incomplete tears of the rotator cuff, and capsulitis, which was considered to be due to over-distension of a joint with a reduced capacity.
