Ghost infantile vertebrae and hemipelves within adult skeleton from thorotrast administration in childhood.

In 2 adults who had received thorotrast intravenously at ages 2 and 3 years, respectively, radiopaque outlines of their infantile vertebrae were seen in the adult vertebrae. Similar "ghosts" of the hemipelves were present in the pelvis of 1 patient. Autopsy findings and autoradiographs in 1 patient strongly suggest that persisting thorotrast deposits in the infantile vertebrae and pelvis have produced a chronic radiation osteitis and dense thickened bone trabeculae, which are more radiopaque than the surrounding adult bone.

Pulmonary hemorrhage in renal disease: Goodpasture's syndrome and other causes.

Pulmonary hemorrhage is generally due to neoplasm, tuberculosis, necrotizing pneumonia, or bronchiectasis. If these are not found, kidney diseases, including anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-induced bleeding (Goodpasture's syndrome), should be considered. Hemoptysis in renal disease is more often due to azotemic hypervolemia than immune reaction. Typically linear immunofluorescent patterns along the glomerular and pulmonary alveolar basement membranes must be demonstrated to confirm the diagnosis of Goodpasture's syndrome.

Erosion of the inferior aspect of the clavicle in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Erosion of the inferior aspect of the outer third of the clavicle has been found on chest films in 19 out of 100 randomly selected azotemic patients. This important manifestation of secondary hyperparathyroidism compares favorably with other sites of clavicular erosion. Its frequency and degree increase with length of time on dialysis. A review of the local anatomy and of the mechanical stresses imposed on the coracoclavicular ligament explains why anteroposterior and portable chest films are particularly well suited for early detection of these changes.

Equipment vibration and radiographic image resolution.

Accelerometer transducers were employed to detect linear vibratory motions in various radiographic equipment during film exposure. Vibratory displacements sufficient to degrade the image were found in several spot-film devices and Bucky drawers. Other potential sources of image degradation are discussed.

Calcified intraperitoneal metastases from ovarian carcinoma.

Three cases of calcified ovarian metastatic carcinoma are reported in order to illustrate their principal forms and distribution. These cases also demonstrate unusual features of serosal, colonic, and gastric invasion; ureteral obstruction by a calcified metastasis; and active uptake of technetium diphosphonate by the metastatic lesions. Plain films often simulate retained colonic barium.

Granular cell myoblastoma of the lung.

Three cases illustrate the principal clinical and roentgenographic varieties of granular cell myoblastoma (GCM) of the lung. The vast majority are small benign intrabronchial tumors without roentgenographic findings. These remain asymptomatic and are detected accidentally at autopsy, surgery, or bronchoscopy (Case III). Larger obstructing lesions (Case I) cause focal atelectasis or pneumonitis, leading to cough, expectoration, and hemoptysis. Hilar enlargement from reactive lymph node hyperplasia is common. Clinically and roentgenographically these are indistinguishable from bronchial adenomas. Least often the tumor extends entirely extrabronchially (Case II) presenting as a parahilar parenchymal asymptomatic nodule, simulating a granuloma, hamartoma, arteriovenous malformation or a neoplastic nodule.

Diagnosis and evaluation of spondylolisthesis and/or spondylolysis on axial CT.

A critical review was made of the CT findings in 300 patients who underwent axial CT of the lumbar spine in which spondylolysis and/or spondylolisthesis had been diagnosed. Findings indicate that axial CT is superior to conventional radiographs in several areas: (1) for consistent and accurate demonstration of spondylolysis, (2) for disclosing the various changes in the apophyseal joints associated with degenerative and reverse spondylolisthesis, and (3) for uncovering minimal degrees of spondylolisthesis by the presence of a pseudobulging disk in many cases with equivocal or negative radiographs. Axial CT is a highly accurate method for diagnosing and evaluating spondylolysis and all types of spondylolisthesis.
