[Interpretation of the spleen size in the liver scintigram].

Interpretation of spleen size in the liver scintigram was analysed in this study. The spleen size of 325 cases, finally proved of their diseases by autopsies, surgeries, etc., were interpreted by 11 nuclear medicine physicians from 8 institutions. Moderate splenomegaly was suggested when the size of the spleen, expressed by the ratio of longitudinal spleen length to the body width, exceeds 40%. Definite splenomegaly was correctly diagnosed at the ratio of more than 50%.

ECG synchronized computed tomography in clinical evaluation of total and regional cardiac motion: comparison of postmyocardial infarction to normal hearts by rapid sequential imaging.

Computed tomograph (CT) of the heart was performed using the JEOL Dynamic Scanner, which provides CT cardiac images with minimal radiation and within a short period of time. ECG-synchronized CT was undertaken at various phases of the cardiac cycle every 0.04 second. Approximately 30 minutes of scanning was necessary to obtain a series of CT images of one complete cardiac cycle. In contract to 24 normal subjects, 38 patients with recent or remote myocardial infarction (MI) demonstrated hypokinetic, akinetic, or paradoxical movement of the ventricular segment corresponding to the MI sites predicted by ECG. The sequential cardiac area curve was useful in evaluating instantaneous changes of cardiac dimension, extent of ventricular contraction, and regional dyssynergy. ECG-synchronized CT studies using Somatom contrast dye enhancement in selected patients allowed sequential assessment of left ventricular cavity size and wall motion.
