Computerized reconstructive tomography applied to breast pathology.

Breast tumors can be clearly defined from the surrounding breast parenchyma by the use of computerized reconstructive tomography. Certain types of fibrocystic mastitis also can be distinguished from tumors, but other types of fibrous mastitis and probably fibroadenomas may not be distinguishable from tumors unless contrast material is used.

Early experience with the EMI scanner for study of the brain.

Computed tomography of the head is highly accurate new radiologic technique for the evaluation of neurologic disease. Analysis of early cases indicates that the appearance produced by CT in some conditions is unique and that increasing experience allows the neuroradiologist to predict the position and nature of disease processes with greater accuracy.

The use of computerized transaxial tomography in the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis.

Computerized transaxial tomography is a useful test for the recognition of tuberous sclerosis when this diagnosis has not been firmly established by clinical methods. In addition, computerized transaxial tomography may demonstrate the location of obstruction in patients with tuberous sclerosis who have developed signs of increased intracranial presure. These generalizations are supported by evidence from four patients investigated by this test.

Breast cancer detection today: an opinion.

The family physician, more than most other physicians, is faced with rapidly increasing demands for breast cancer screening. The old standby, physical examination, is now accompanied by mammography, xeromammography, and, more recently, thermography. In this paper, we present our opinion, based on the collective experience at the Mayo Clinic, regarding the use and effectiveness of the several modalities, including mammography, xeromammography, and thermography, available for detection of breast cancer today.

Comparative study using computed tomographic thin-section zoom reconstructions and anatomic macrosections of the temporal lobe.

Thin-section (1.5 mm) high-spatial-resolution computed tomography (CT) in combination with computerized high-resolution image reconstruction is an effective, noninvasive means of studying patients with a variety of temporal bone abnormalities. To determine what degree of definition and anatomic accuracy could currently be obtained by using these techniques, we performed thin-section CT and high-resolution image reconstruction with use of two fresh-frozen cadaver head specimens. We then compared these images with the actual anatomic macrosections subsequently obtained from the specimens. We concluded that high-resolution CT scans of temporal bone can produce accurate, highly detailed, diagnostic images of the internal auditory canal, vestibule, cochlea, vestibular aqueduct, semicircular canals, and middle ear space.

The anatomy of congenital choanal atresia.

Congenital choanal atresia is rare. Previous literature has dealt with the diagnosis and management of these patients, but there are no reports that accurately describe the nature of the deformity. This is a presentation of two patients with tomographic demonstration of the abnormality which confirms the surgical descriptions of previous authors. These abnormalities are (1) narrowing of the entire nasal chamber, (2) primary bony obstruction with an area of membranous obstruction, and (3) gross deformity of the vomer.

Spontaneous cervical cephalic arterial dissection and its residuum: angiographic spectrum.

Cervical cephalic dissections are uncommon acute disruptions of the arterial wall occurring predominantly in middle-aged women. Clinically, most patients present with unilateral headache, oculosympathetic palsy, or ischemic neurologic symptoms. Usually, a single internal carotid artery, predominantly the right, is affected, but simultaneous multivessel dissections are evident in about one-third of patients. Angiographically, the appearance of the dissection varies, depending on its severity, extent, and the interval between onset and angiography. In the patients reported, the disruption was manifested initially by eccentric tapered stenosis in 47%, tapered stenosis and a dissecting aneurysm in 28%, occlusion in 18%, or a dissecting aneurysm alone in 7%. Subsequently, stenotic dissections resolved in 60%, improved in 20%, and progressed in 15%, while dissecting aneurysms diminished in half and resolved in one-fourth of patients. An angiographic residuum, temporally remote to its onset, was evident in 25% of dissections. Hence, carotid arterial dissections tend to resolve, sometimes progress, but seldom recur.
