[Essential hospital services].

The Project of rehabilitation and reconstruction of essential hospital services at the overall territory of The Federation BiH till secondary level is briefly described in the paper. The Project is carried out with financial assistance of IDA and several foreign governments. The Project includes physical reconstruction of hospitals, equipment, development of clinical training, reform of health financing, and hospital management. 16.25 millions US$ are provided, and 5.25 millions US$ more is necessary.

Correlation of computed tomography and conventional hypopharyngography findings in hypopharyngeal tumours.

Accuracy and clinical application of computed tomography (CT) and conventional hypopharyngography have been evaluated in 32 patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Radiologic results were compared with endoscopic findings. Equivalent CT and hypopharyngographic findings were found in 17 cases. In 13 cases, more data about the tumours were obtained by CT. Submucous infiltration of surrounding tissues, destruction of cartilaginous structures and enlarged lymph nodes were demonstrated only by CT. More information about functional changes were obtained by hypopharyngography. During hypopharyngography, a disorder in the act of swallowing was shown in 11 cases. Axial tumour diameter could be defined more exactly using hypopharyngography.

CT diagnosis of hematocolpometra.

Two cases of hematocolpometra, due to imperforate hymen of 15- and 16-year-old girls are presented. The diagnosis was based on computed tomography of the pelvis with contrast given per os, intravenously and per rectum, as well as ultrasound scan of uterus and vagina.

[Aspiration biopsy of thoracic lesions using the Chiba needle under CT guidance].

Percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy (PTAB) is an interventional radiologic procedure for histologic confirmation or elimination of malignant nature of the lesion. The development of digital techniques (introduction of CT and US) and small gauge needles increased the interest for this method. CT scanner enables the accurate determination of the entry point of the puncture guide, precise visualisation of the needle tip and reliable analyses of complications. The type of the puncture needle is very important for establishment of the correct diagnosis. Of 163 Chiba needle punctures the cytologically representative samples were obtained in 84.7% and pathohistologically representative samples in 56%. Of complications the most common was pneumothorax found in 9.7% and alveolar hemorrhage in 9.1% cases. In this paper the method and contribution of the Chiba needles are analysed compared to the results of other authors obtained by other types of needles. Our results are satisfying with small number of complications.

[Percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy guided by computer tomography].

CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy presenting one of interventional radiologic procedures, has enabled the sample providing for cytologic analysis. It has been frequently used with the aim of confirmation or elimination of malignant neoplastic process. The main advantages of CT over fluoroscopy are precise needle visualization, documentation of needle tip in the lesion, puncture of small, for fluoroscopy unreachable lesions, as well as the adequate presentation of eventual complications. The authors have analysed, retrospectively, 195 findings of patients, who underwent CT-guided Chiba needle percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy. The finding was cytologically representative in 85.64% of cases, unrepresentative in 14.36%. Out of all complications, pneumothorax (9.74%) and perifocal hematom (9.23%) were most frequent. Contraindications, complications and safety of this very useful method in definitive diagnosing and planning of the adequate therapy have been discussed.
