CT and ultrasound in abscess detection at specific anatomic sites: A study of 198 patients
(Elsevier, 1987)
Records of 902 patients with possible abdominal abscess were reviewed and of these 198 had abscesses on at least one occasion imaged either with ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT). There were 235 episodes of either ...
Diagnosis of exercise-induced left bundle branch block at rest by scintigraphic phase analysis
(Springer-Verlag, 1986-03)
Accurate diagnosis of diseases of the ventricular conducting system is essential for their appropriate therapy. some conduction abnormalities, such as exercise-induced left bundle branch block (EX-LBBB), are not apparent ...
Computed tomography of renal oncocytomas
(Elsevier, 1985)
A retrospective analysis of 5 renal oncocytomas studied with CT was performed. Oncocytomas appeared as rounded hypodense solid masses with sharp margination from the normal renal parenchyma. They showed uniform homogeneous ...
CT evaluation of mediastinal masses
(Elsevier, 1987)
CT is an important modality for imaging mediastinal masses, and certain CT attenuation features (fat, calcium, or water attenuation, contrast enhancement) are well known to suggest specific diagnoses. In a series of 132 ...
CT evaluation of the equivocal pulmonary nodule
(Elsevier, 1987)
In the setting of a questionable pulmonary nodule demonstrated by conventional radiographs, the place of CT in the diagnostic algorithm is not well established. We reviewed our experience in 50 consecutive patients referred ...
Toxicity from treatment of neuroblastoma with 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-09)
Toxic effects from 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( 131 I-MIBG) treatments of neuroblastoma in six patients were recorded. The toxicity was largely confined to the hematologic system where circulating leukocytes and platelets ...
The effect of vehicle on the tissue distribution profiles of radioiodinated cholesterol esters in the rat
(Elsevier, 1981)
Several groups have examined the possible use of radioiodinated cholesterol esters to achieve selective uptake of radioactivity in the adrenal cortex and have obtained variable results. This study indicates that the tissue ...
CT of unusual mediastinal vascular abnormalities
(Elsevier, 1984)
The previously unreported CT findings of supracardiac anomalous pulmonary venous return and Takayasu arteritis are presented. CT demonstration of a left vertical vein and an enlarged superior vena cava strongly suggests a ...
ω- 123 I-Hexadecanoic acid metabolic probe of cardiomypathy
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-03)
The utility of ω- 123 I-hexadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy as a metabolic probe of cardiomyopathies was investigated. Sixteen patients with a variety of cardiomyopathies and myopathies that involve cardiac muscle ...
Gastric xenon trapping mimicking COPD: Recognition using an effervescent agent
(Springer-Verlag, 1986-07)
Trapping of xenon 133 in the stomach due to gas swallowing can mimic xenon 133 retention in the left lower lobe due to obstructive lung disease on pulmonary ventilation/perfusion studies. In such cases, ingestion of sodium ...
