Fatal air embolism as a complication of CT-guided needle biopsy of the lung.
A CT-guided needle lung biopsy carries a risk of potential air embolization. We present a rare case of air embolization after this procedure. Postmortem CT revealed air in the cerebral arteries and the left ventricle. This complication is extremely rare; however, it becomes fatal when it happens. Several points to prevent this fatal complication are discussed.

Computerized three-dimensional normal atlas.
This paper presents our ongoing project in which normal human anatomy and its quantitative data are systematically arranged in a computer. The final product, the Computerized Three-Dimensional Normal Atlas, will be able to supply tomographic images in any direction, 3-D images, and coded information on organs, e.g., anatomical names, CT numbers, and T1 and T2 values.

Evaluation of MRI in moyamoya disease.
We present the MRI findings of six patients with angiographically documented moyamoya disease. All patients underwent CT and MRI, and MRI findings were compared with those of CT. In two patients both preoperative and postoperative MRI were performed. Most of the abnormalities secondary to moyamoya disease were clearly identified on MRI, which proved to be superior to CT, and it was revealed that the effectiveness of surgery as well as the severity of the disease could also be evaluated successfully by this powerful technique.

Increased iodine-123-iodoamphetamine uptake in hepatomas.
In the current study, two cases of hepatoma are reported in which N-isopropyl-(I-123)-p-iodoamphetamine (IMP) liver scan demonstrated increased accumulation in the tumor corresponding to the areas enhanced on contrast enhanced CT (CE-CT). In contrast, there was no IMP accumulation in the necrotic area of the tumor in which no enhancement was found on CE-CT. Thus, IMP liver scan seems to have the potential to assess the viability of a hepatoma as well as to detect and localize it.

Scintigraphic and MRI studies in a patient with granulocytic sarcoma accompanied with CML and myelofibrosis.
Indium bone marrow, bone, and gallium scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed in a patient with granulocytic sarcoma accompanied with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and myelofibrosis. The significance and implications of the findings of these studies are discussed.

Assessment of magnetic resonance contrast enhancement with Gd-DTPA: comparison with the uptake of Tc-99m-DTPA.
To compare the contrast enhancement of Gd-DTPA with the uptake of 99mTc-DTPA, a study was carried out in two steps. In the first step, images comparable in terms of data acquisition time and thickness were obtained after computer processing, and processed images of 99mTc-DTPA and Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI were compared from the morphological aspect. In the second step, the arterial blood concentration of Gd-DTPA and the effect of T2 shortening on signal intensity were studied. It was concluded that Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI can provide functional information analogous to that obtained from radionuclide studies, possibly enabling semiquantitative analysis of contrast enhancement to be performed.

Basic analysis of dynamic study in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma using inversion recovery snap shot FLASH MR imaging with Gd-DTPA.
Twenty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were studied by dynamic sequential inversion recovery snap shot fast low angle shot (FLASH) imaging after the bolus injection of various amounts of Gd-DTPA. We determined the optimal dose of Gd-DTPA for depicting tumors as early marked enhancement and compared the method with dynamic CT by matching data acquisition time. The optimal dose was estimated to be 0.1 mmol/kg. Compared with dynamic CT, dynamic MRI showed rapid short-term enhancement in the early phase, while the contrast enhancement in the late phase lasted longer and was stronger than that of CT.
