Diagnosis of abdominal lesions. The use of intravenous aortography, nephrotomography and retrograde aortography.

New and safe methods of investigating the kidney by x-ray visualization of its circulation are now available. This can be done either by injecting large amounts of contrast material through a vein and then taking multiple x-ray exposures of the kidneys, or by injecting the contrast material backward into the aorta to the level of the renal arteries. Another method of x-ray examination now available is taking body section films of the kidneys when the contrast medium is in the kidney substance. This makes the kidney outline extremely sharp and allows more precise diagnosis.

Cerebral vascular occlusion; angiographic diagnosis.

Cerebral arterial occlusion is a fairly frequent condition. We have diagnosed nine cases by cerebroangiography in the past two years, and there are many patients not given this special examination.Precise diagnosis has become more important as advances in therapy make prognosis more hopeful. The symptoms are various according to the location and degree of occlusion and the amount of collateral circulation.Angiographic diagnosis is not difficult, but repeated demonstration of the block should be insisted on. This is best done with multiple exposures after a single injection of contrast medium. We use 7 cc. of 50 per cent Hypaque(R) and one exposure per second through the arterial, capillary and venous phases. The films should cover the entire head and neck lest an occlusion in the common carotid be overlooked. We have found the Schonander biplane apparatus very satisfactory, using films 14 inches square and exposing them in anteroposterior and lateral projections simultaneously.
