Computed tomographic cavo-urography: lower-extremity contrast infusion simultaneous with computed tomography of the retroperitoneum.

Successful opacification and distention of the inferior vena cava was obtained simultaneously with computed tomography by contrast infusion through a lower-extremity vein. Images obtained by this method displayed retroperitoneal anatomical relationships to better advantage, permitting more accurate interpretation of the upper retroperitoneum, particularly in lymphoma.

Contrast Media

Meat bolus impaction of the lower esophagus associated with a paraesophageal hernia. Successful noninvasive treatment with intravenous glucagon.

Ferrucci and Long recently reported the relief of esophageal food impaction with the use of intravenous glucagon in three patients. Our first experience in using this new procedure was very successful and gratifying. The essence and purpose of this brief communication is to record and further substantiate the efficacy of a new treatment modality.

Esophagogastric Junction

The lateral view in selective renal angiography.

Use of the lateral view in selective renal angiography is helpful in differentiating cysts from tumors. The position of the cyst is better defined, facilitating aspiration if necessary, while in malignant masses this technique gives a better idea of the dimensions and vascularity of the tumor. Three illustrative cases are presented.
