Low-dose transaxial tomography. An alternative to computed tomography for the evaluation of anteversion of the femur during childhood.

Low-dose transaxial tomography is a technique that can produce cross-sectional images of the hips and femurs in children to permit calculation of the angle of femoral anteversion. Transaxial tomography was compared with computed tomography in terms of measured radiation dose and image quality. Transaxial tomography was found to require at least 90% less radiation dose, and the images were judged to be acceptable for the determination of anteversion.

Vocal cord paralysis. A latent effect of perivascular thorium dioxide.

The late effects of thorium dioxide (Thorotrast) in the perivascular space of the neck are reviewed. The roentgenographic analysis of the problem consists of both plain films (to detect the residual density of extravasated thorium dioxide) and computed tomography (to help define any involvement of the carotid artery).
