Saline MR peritoneography.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to describe a new method for the evaluation of peritoneal surfaces in patients with intraperitoneal carcinomatosis and sarcomatosis. CONCLUSION: Fast spin-echo T2-weighted imaging in conjuction with intraperitoneally instilled saline permits detailed evaluation of peritoneal surfaces, omentum, and mesenteries. The detection of tumor implants is facilitated by their visualization against the saline background. Additionally, normal and abnormal saline distribution patterns can be identified. This technique may also be useful in predicting response to intraperitoneally instilled chemotherapy.

Preoperative CT localization and marking of osteoid osteoma: description of a new technique.

We describe a new technique for the preoperative localization of an osteoid osteoma nidus. Four lesions (mean patient age 26 years) were localized with CT. A needle was advanced into the cortex, methylene blue was injected, and a self-retaining localization wire was then left in place. A final CT image confirmed localization. The site of marking was identified intraoperatively by following the guide wire to the cortical mark, permitting nidus excision with minimal resection of bone.
