Case report. Pelvic rib/digit.

In summary, a case of a pelvic rib/digit is presented. Although there is no surgical proof that the finding does indeed represent a sacral rib, its radiographic findings are characteristic enough to warrant this diagnosis. In some respects, the lesion is similar to other cases that have appeared in the literature, but it differs in that it has features of both a pelvic rib and pelvic digit, suggesting a spectrum of development of these anomalous bony structures.

Gallium localization in peritonitis. Two case reports.

Diffuse abdominal localization of gallium was found in two patients with peritonitis, one due to M. tuberculosis and the other presumably pyogenic. Gallium scanning may be useful in the diagnosis of peritonitis and perhaps of other serosal infections.

Radionuclide esophageal and intestinal transit scintigraphy in patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Radiation esophagitis and enteritis are common and significant side effects of radiation therapy. Non-invasive assessment of functional and/or anatomic changes responsible for the symptoms produced by radiation esophagitis and enteritis has been unsatisfactory. This paper demonstrates the value of radionuclide esophageal and intestinal transit scintigraphy in patients undergoing mediastinal or abdominal radiation.
