[Internet communication in radiology].

UNLABELLED: E-mail is an Internet service that can be used for sending messages and binary files between individuals as well as for participating in discussion groups. For sending and receiving these types of messages, the users must use either a dedicated e-mail client or one of the several mailing facilities of the World Wide Web. The news-groups enable like-minded people to discuss subjects on a group-wide basis, but access is generally not limited, and the participants cannot be selected. CONCLUSION: The objective of this paper is to give radiologists an introduction to using e-mail, mailing lists and news-groups, the three most important communication services of the Internet. The function of these services is explained, and the advantages of implementing them in a radiology practice are discussed. Potential problems and concerns including security matters are highlighted, and ways in which they can be resolved are suggested.

[The search for medical information on the World Wide Web].

The internet has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years and has currently many resources in the field of medicine. However, many physicians remain unaware of how to gain access to this powerful tool. This article briefly describes the World Wide Web and its potential applications for physicians. The basics of web search engines and medical directories, as well as the use of advanced search with boolean operators are explained.

Sonographic diagnosis of ischemic colitis.

An abdominal ultrasound examination performed on two patients with abdominal pain showed segmental wall thickening of the colon that proved to be due to ischemic colitis. In one case, the typical "target lesion" was recognized. These findings could be confirmed with computed tomography, whereas a single contrast enema was unable to demonstrate the ischemic disease. In the second case, a typical five-layered structure of the bowel wall could be demonstrated. It is concluded that US can be useful in the early diagnosis of colonic ischemia.

Confined gastric perforation: ultrasound and computed tomographic diagnosis.

A case of confined gastric perforation due to a penetrating antral ulcer diagnosed on ultrasound and computed tomography is presented. Air bubbles were visualized adjacent to the anterior gastric and bulbar wall, associated with small amounts of fluid in the subhepatic region and in the omental bursa. Careful examination of the subhepatic region and upper abdominal cavity in a patient with acute epigastric pain may lead to a correct diagnosis of such confined perforations.

Percutaneous hydrodynamic thrombectomy of acute thrombosis in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a feasibility study in five patients.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous hydrodynamic thrombectomy in restoring patency of acutely thrombosed stent-shunts after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). METHODS: Percutaneous hydrodynamic thrombectomy was performed in five consecutive patients with angiographically documented complete thrombosis of the stent-shunt which developed within 2 weeks after the TIPS procedure. Thrombectomy was performed with a hydrolytic suction thrombectomy catheter, introduced via a transjugular approach. RESULTS: In all patients, immediate restoration of patency of the stent-shunt was achieved after deploying additional stent(s) to cover residual adherent mural thrombus. In two patients early reocclusion occurred. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous hydrolytic suction thrombectomy in acutely thrombosed intrahepatic portosystemic shunts is technically feasible.
