Visualization of the thoracic duct by lymphoscintigraphy

Imaging of the thoracic duct is usually performed by radiological lymphography. However, this procedure, which uses an oil based dye injected directly into the lymph channels, has some adverse effects. In this paper we note that lymphoscintigraphy, a physiological and non invasive method, may visualize thoracic duct abnormalities, and might be particularly useful when radiological lymphography is contraindicated.     

The use of standardized assessment procedures in the evaluation of patients with multiple injuries.

The accuracy of diagnosis in multiple trauma can be greatly improved by the use of standardized assessment routines and standard documentation. In the two groups of patients reviewed the diagnostic error rate fell from 23% in the period 1979-1980 to 8% for the period 1981-1982.     

Gyriform infiltration as imaging biomarker for molecular glioblastomas

Journal of Neuro-Oncology - Molecular glioblastomas (i.e. without the histological but with the molecular characteristics of IDH-wild-type glioblastoma) frequently lack contrast enhancement, which...
