Esophageal involvement in epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica: Clinical and roentgenographic manifestations
(Springer-Verlag, 1983-12)
Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare hereditary mechanobullous skin disorder. Four patients with esophageal involvement are reported. These cases and review of reported cases of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica-recessive (EBD-R) ...
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 ...
Motion artifacts in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging
(Elsevier, 1986)
Several investigators have emphasized the potential value of quantitative relaxation times in the assessment of diseases. In performing such measurements using the spin-echo technique, we have encountered several anomalous ...
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 ...
MRI in osteoarthritis of the hip: Gradations of severity
(Elsevier, 1988)
In a prospective study, 10 patients with well-documented osteoarthritis (O.A.) of the hips were imaged using spinecho pulse sequences (TR = 0.5 to 1.5 s and TE = 28 to 60 ms). After analyzing the changes observed, an MR ...
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 ...
Ultrasonographic diagnosis of extremity masses
(Springer-Verlag; International Skeletal Society, 1981-05)
Radiographic examination of soft tissue extremity masses is frequently inconclusive. In 18 patients with normal or nonspecifically abnormal radiographs, gray scale ultrasonography provided useful additional information. ...
Anisotropic ultrasonic backscatter from the renal cortex
(Elsevier, 1988)
We have demonstrated a significant, directionally dependent, anisotropic, echogenicity from the cortices of two sheep kidneys and a normal human cadaver kidney. The anisotropy corresponds to the relationship of the sound ...
Sonography of ruptured appendicitis
(Springer-Verlag, 1986-01)
Three girls and 4 boys with the final diagnosis of ruptured appendicitis underwent 19 sonographic studies, 5 before any therapy was instituted and 14 follow-up studies. Four abscesses identified before treatment and 2 seen ...
