Clinical application of digital tomosynthesis: a preliminary report.

Digital tomosynthesis represents a new technique for digital manipulation of data acquired during a single tomographic sweep. With the aid of a computer, data can be processed to yield images in any parallel plane of the body. This technique allows rapid tomographic studies requiring a much lower radiation dose to the patient. Dynamic studies such as angiotomography are feasible, and application to digital subtraction intravenous angiography is also possible with this technique. Early experience with clinical application in patient studies is presented.

[Needle puncture biopsy: the contribution of extemporaneous examination of samples in the diagnosis of malignant liver tumors].

In this retrospective study, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity, in terms of the diagnosis of malignancy, of two techniques of ultrasound-guided biopsy of liver tumours. The first technique involving fine needle biopsy with cytological and histological analysis of the specimen was carried out in 39 patients. A technique using a wide calibre needle with frozen section examination of the fragment obtained was performed in 27 patients. All patients had one or more malignant liver tumours. Sensitivity and specificity of the technique with frozen section histology were both 100 per cent, while figures for the technique with delayed histological study were 84.6 and 87.4 per cent. This study suggests that frozen section histology might be associated with greater sensitivity than delayed histology.
