Living with the budget.

One of the traditional problems faced by radiology administrators is reconciliation of department expenditures with the department budget. While every department administrator had had experience in preparing budgets a few key points are worthy of review.

Help wanted--experienced.

There's an age-old Catch 22--you can't get experience without experience. Mr. Nowak argues that first-time employees lack, not technical skills, but an understanding of the work ethic and the workplace culture. He proposes a curriculum for addressing this need.

Pitfalls in the angiographic diagnosis of serious head injury.

The problems in interpretation of emergency cerebral arteriograms are discussed with relation to the apparent displacement of "landmark" vessels that is actually produced by rotation or by the type of anteroposterior projection of the vessels, rather than by mass lesions. Anterior cerebral artery, middle meningeal artery, and pineal displacements are reviewed, along with possible pitfalls of diagnosis and attempts at correction. Utilization of dried skulls afforded depth visualization of middle meningeal artery grooves as well as the radiographic projection. The most reliable region on each different type of anteroposterior projection is discussed with regard to the emergency situation where repeat angiographic detections or special views may not be possible.
