[Computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of biliary, duodenal and pancreatic diseases]. / Kompíuternaia tomografiia v differentsialnoi diagnostike zabolevanii biliopankreatoduodenalnoi oblasti.

The paper is concerned with analysis of CT-investigation of 150 patients with diseases of the bilio-pancreatoduodenal area, whose diagnosis was verified histologically or by clinical observation over time, using other methods (USI, RCPG, etc.). The authors have arrived at a conclusion that for increasing the informative value of CT one should use various methods of a contrast study of the duodenum and biliary tract, electron reconstruction of CT images in different projections. They have pointed out the most significant differential-diagnostic CT signs, proposed a table to facilitate the identification of causes and a level of obturation of the bile ducts, the table playing an important role in a choice of adequate therapy.

[Status of the carpal canal in compressive neuropathy of the median nerve (computerized-tomographic examination)]. / Sostoianie zapiastnogo kanala pri kompressionnoi nevropatii sredinnogo nerva (komp'iuterno-tomograficheskoe issledovanie).

Computer-aided tomography of the carpal canal was performed in 30 patients syndromes of the carpal canal and in 20 healthy persons. Topographoanatomic interrelations of carpal canal structures were specified, degenerative and dystrophic alterations of the carpal bones, proliferation of the connective tissue, displacement of carpal structures and of the median nerve itself were revealed.

[Optimization of computed tomographic studies during the diagnosis of chronic nonspecific lung diseases]. / Optimizatsiia komp'iuterno-tomograficheskogo issledovaniia pri diagnostike nekotorykh khronicheskikh nespetsificheskikh zabolevanii legkikh.

A comparative study was made of computerized tomograms of 115 patients, of them 78 suffered from nonspecific chronic pulmonary diseases (chronic bronchitis, bullous emphysema, spontaneous pneumothorax, and fibrosing alveolitis), and 37 patients were healthy. Of all transverse sections the most informative ones were defined, and anatomical reference points were determined for. A conclusion was made that computerized tomograms at 5 most informative levels were sufficient to diagnose changes in each of the lung segments in their diffuse affection. CT standardization was shown to have the same advantages as standardization of layins in routine tomography of the lungs, facilitating comparison over time and reducing radiation exposure of a patient.

[Computed tomography in the comprehensive diagnosis of acute diseases and injuries]. / Komp'iuternaia tomografiia v kompleksnoi diagnostike ostrykh zabolevanii i povrezhdenii.

The author presents the results of a CT use during combined investigation on 2500 patients and the wounded who were admitted to hospital on emergency as well as patients who developed serious complications during treatment, especially in the postoperative period. CT findings were verified during operation, at autopsy or during a follow-up. They were indicative of a high effectiveness of emergency CT of different organs and systems in the diagnosis of lesions, acute diseases and their complications. The use of CT permitted considerable reduction of a diagnostic (preoperative) period, a decrease in use of routine invasive x-ray and surgical methods, and the improvement of therapeutic results.

[X-ray diagnosis of peptic ulcers of the jejunum]. / Rentgenologicheskoe raspoznavanie pepticheskikh iazv toshchei kishki.

The paper is devoted to a study of the results of clinicoroentgenological and endoscopic investigation of 188 patients aged 23 to 60 who developed jejunal peptic ulcer. It was done to specify the features of an x-ray picture of jejunal peptic ulcers with relation to the cause of ulcer development and optimum methods of x-ray investigation. The predominant localization of peptic ulcer in the jejunal efferent loop and its typical ulcero-cicatricial deformity were established. Jejunal peptic ulcers developing as a result of an insufficient area of resection, are characterized by a relatively benign course of the disease. In case ulcer development was determined by the residual antral stomach mucosa at the duodenal stump or by the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, considerable pathological changes (gigantic ulcer sizes greater than 2.5 cm and a sharp deformity of the jejunal efferent loop) were noted.

[Possibilities of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of abscesses in the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space]. / Vozmozhnosti komp'iuternoi tomografii v diagnostike abstsessov briushnoi polosti i zabriushinnogo prostranstva.

The article presents results of the computer tomography examination of 205 patients at different terms after operations who were clinically suspected of the development of a limited pyo-inflammatory process in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneal space. Abscesses were revealed in 112 patients, inflammatory infiltrates in 16 patients, the development of purulent complications was excluded in 77 patients which allowed relaparotomy to be rejected in 93 patients. The computer tomography symptoms of abdominal abscesses were established. The dependence of the abscess semiotics on the stage of the suppurative process, its specific localization, intra- or extraorganic disposition, contents and size of the abscess was shown.
