[Invasive interventions with computerized tomography guidance].

Invasive interventions (diagnostic and therapeutic) were conducted on 125 patients. Fifty-six has diseases of the lungs, 16 of the mediastinum, 4 of the pleura, 17 of the liver, 2 of the pancreas, one of the spleen, 15 of the kidneys, 7 of the retroperineal space, two of the soft tissues, and 5 patients had diseases of the skeletal bones. Biopsy was combined with aspiration of the renal cyst content in 7 cases. The diagnostic value of biopsy under control of CT was 86% (106 cases); negative and pseudonegative results were recorded in 18 (14%) patients. The efficacy of biopsy is determined by such factors as the size of the lesion and the depth of its localization in the involved organ, the character of the pathological process and the region of its localization, the site from which the material is collected, and the needles used. Among 7 patients with therapeutic interventions, 5 had good and 2 had satisfactory immediate results. Complications were revealed in 4 (3.3%) patients, pneumothorax was encountered most frequently.

[Errors and complications in computed tomography-guided biopsies].

The article analyses the results of 104 biopsies which were carried out in 84 patients with different diseases of the organs of thoracic (50) or abdominal (16) cavities, postperitoneal space (32), bones and soft tissues (6). Positive results were obtained in 67 cases, negative--in 26, false-negative--in 11. The specificity was 70.3%, sensitivity--100%, authenticity--64.4%. The authors make a conclusion that the results and authenticity of biopsies depend on such factors as the proper organ to be punctured, character and structure of the affection, its location, volume and spreading, as well as the type of needles to be used.

[The potentials of computed tomography in the treatment of cysts and inflammatory diseases of the internal organs].

Computed tomography (CT) is used more and more often recently in the treatment of some surgical diseases of the internal organs. The subject of discussion in this work are the results of treatment of cysts and pyoinflammatory diseases of the internal organs. The work was conducted on CT IV generation "QUAD 1" of the CMS firm (England). Needles measuring 14-18d in diameter (Charrière scale) were used for aspiration. A total of 23 therapeutic interventions were performed in 19 patients with exudative pleurisy (1 patient), pleuritis (4), pulmonary abscesses (1), abscesses of the liver (1), abscesses of the subhepatic and subdiaphragmatic spaces (2), cysts of the liver (1) and kidneys (1 patient). Among the interventions 21 were aspirations and 2 drainage of the abscess. A mechanical syringe is used lately for more effective evacuation of the contents. The removed contents, ranging in volume from 10.0 to 600.0 ml, was subjected to cytological, biochemical, and bacteriological analysis. A single puncture is sufficient, as a rule, for aspiration of the cyst contents, one-stage aspiration from cysts of both kidneys may be conducted (as was the case in two of our patients). 96% alcohol was used as the sclerosing agent. In cases of small abscesses aspiration may be repeated for removal of the contents, irrigation of the cavity, and administration of antibiotics. In abscesses measuring more than 10 cm drainage is advisable. Control CT examination is conducted once a week. The condition of the cavity is appraised by combining CT with its contrast study. The immediate results were good and satisfactory in 17 (94.7%) patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Computerized tomography in the diagnosis of degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine and herniated intervertebral disk].

Computed tomography (CT) examination was performed in 711 patients with various degenerative and dystrophic processes in the spine. The most numerous group (485 patients) included those with a posterior discal hernia associated in 54.3% of cases with other degenerative and dystrophic alterations in the vertebral column. The hernias were paramedial in 336 and central in 147 patients. In 98.4% of cases the lumbosacral portion was involved. The CT diagnosis was verified at surgery in 103 patients (21.3%) providing evidence for setting up the principal CT criteria of the hernia: deformity of the disk posterior margin in the form of its local prolapse, deformity of the epidural fat, presence of a soft tissue component, dislocation and deformity of the dural sac. It is established that CT is a safe and highly informative diagnostic procedure in discal hernias.

[MRI diagnosis of soft tissue tumors].

MRI findings of 13 patients with soft tissue tumors (STT) are presented. There are were abnormalities, such as primary STTs of the hip in 5 patients, the back in 1, and the neck in 1, STT relapses of the hip in 2 and those of the back in 1. Two patients had chronic hip STT hematomas and 1 had hip STT metastatic melanoma. The diagnosis was verified in 11 cases (in 10 cases at surgery and 1 at needle biopsy). MRI makes it possible to define the accurate sizes of the tumor, its structure and relationship to its adjacent tissues, which is important in choosing at treatment policy, the type and scope of a surgical interventions.

[Ultrasonographic guidance in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in diseases of the internal organs].

A hundred fifty four invasive diagnostic and therapeutical interventions were made in patients with diseases of the abdomen and retroperitoneal space under ultrasonographic guidance. Various biopsies were performed in 139 patients; positive results were achieved in 120 (86.3%) cases. In 15 patients, diagnostic biopsies were combined with therapeutical interventions, such as aspiration of cysts in the liver (n = 3) and kidney (n = 2); drainage of abscesses in the abdomen (n = 5) and liver (n = 5). Fourteen patients with mechanical jaundice caused by extrahepatic bile duct tumors or pancreatic head cancer underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholecystocholangiography followed by external drainage. Percutaneous transhepatic drainage of the gallbladder was made in 1 patient with acute cholecystitis.

[Diagnostic possibilities of CT-guided lung biopsy].

The authors analyse the results of computer-aided tomographic biopsies in 81 patients with various pulmonary diseases (63 with tumors, 53 of these with malignant ones, and 18 with nontumors diseases). Positive results were obtained in 86.4% of cases. Biopsies proved to be informative in 44 out of 48 patients with lung cancer, in 8 out of 10 ones with benign tumors, and in 10 out of 12 ones with nonspecific inflammations. The results were not informative in 13.6% of patients. In 4 cases the failure was caused by the absence of cellular material in the puncture biopsy specimen, in 5 it was due to the presence of only pulmonary cells. In two more cases the diagnosis of lung cancer made by computer-aided biopsy was erroneous because of the presence of inflammation elements and amorphous mass in the examined. Complications occurred in 22 (27.2%) patients, pneumothorax in 16 (19.8%) and local pulmonary hemorrhages in 6 (7.4%) of these. Hence, computer-aided biopsy of the lung is an informative diagnostic method, permitting a correct diagnosis in the majority of cases.

[Computerized myelotomography in lesions of the spine and spinal cord].

CT myelotomography was carried out in 262 patients with various conditions of the spine and cord. Pathologic changes were detected in 233 (87.6%) of the examinees. The most frequent diseases were tumors and metastases (59 cases), degenerative processes, including primary and recurrent hernias (59 cases), atrophic processes (46 cases). The accuracy of the diagnosis was found to be 98.6%. A false-positive result was obtained in one case with a suspected tumor of the cord. No complications were recorded. Computer-aided myelotomography is an effective method for the diagnosis of involvement of the spine and cord.

[Puncture methods of the diagnosis and treatment under the control of US, CT and X-ray video image].

Exploratory and therapeutical punctures were made in 454 patients under the control of ultrasound, CT, and X-ray teleimage. Diagnostic biopsies established the cytological and histological nature of diseases in 67.6% of cases, positive ultrasound-, CT-, and X-ray teleimage-controlled biopsies being 76.3, 64.9, and 71.4%, respectively. Beneficial effects of therapeutical interventions were obtained in 89.5% of patients.
