Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography vs conventional angiography of abdominal diseases.

Seventy-five patients with various abdominal diseases were studied by intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (IA DSA) during conventional abdominal angiographic examinations. The image quality, tumor stain, and arterial encasements were evaluated and diameters of vessels visualized by IA DSA were measured. The vessels greater than 2.0 mm or more in diameter were equally well demonstrated on IA DSA. IA DSA demonstrated tumor stains and portal system to good advantage. Real time imaging was also advantageous during an embolization procedure.

[Abdominal organ-transcending tumors with special reference to peritoneal carcinosis. CT versus the surgical site].

In 41 patients with a histologically confirmed peritoneal carcinomatosis (n = 29) or lymphangiomatosis (n = 12) the preoperative CT investigations of the abdomen were compared with intraoperative findings. CT findings were differentiated between direct or indirect signs. The sensitivity of the various CT signs of peritoneal carcinomatosis or lymphangiomatosis was between 66 and 100%. Abdominal CT studies proved to be a reliable preoperative method if the findings were examined closely. A precise review even of indirect signs is of high diagnostic value.

Quantitative evaluation of pancreatic enhancement during dual-phase helical CT.

PURPOSE: To determine the improvement in pancreatic enhancement at helical computed tomography (CT) performed with an early delay after administration of contrast material compared with that performed with a standard delay. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dual-phase helical CT of the abdomen was performed in 120 patients with a 150-mL bolus of contrast material infused at 5 mL/sec. Early and standard delayed scanning was performed beginning at 20 seconds and 49-71 seconds, respectively. Regions of interest were measured in the head, body, and tail of the pancreas in 92 patients. The difference in enhancement between early and standard delayed scanning was calculated. RESULTS: Mean pancreatic enhancement was 82 HU +/- 3 (standard error) with an early delay, whereas enhancement on standard delay scans was 62 HU +/- 2 (P < .001). An improvement in enhancement greater than 10 HU was attained in 66 of 92 cases (72%). CONCLUSION: Pancreatic enhancement at helical CT with an early delay after contrast material administration is often significantly greater than the enhancement seen with a standard delay when a monophasic, rapidly infused bolus of contrast material is used.
