The standard biphasic-contrast gastric series.
Biphasic gastric studies combining the advantages of both single- (positive) and double-contrast techniques performed under hypotony can now be accomplished as a routine procedure. In a series of 5,000 studies, the standardized method averaged only 15 minutes per patient.

The stalactite phenomenon in double contrast studies of the stomach.
Supine vertical beam films in double contrast studies of the stomach often show "barium spots" projecting on anterior wall polyps and folds. The supposition that these spots are caused by droplets of barium hanging from such protuberances is proved radiographically using horizontal beam techniques.

Picture archiving and communication systems: it's not features that count but the ability to convince.
The Dutch Government wants to curb the cost of Health Care. Running as high as 10% of the National Income, there is every reason for support. Imaging professionals, like radiologists, are vital for the discovery of disease in society. They need expensive equipment, not only to satisfy their professional pride but foremost to try to discover disease early and before having to put money into treatment of disease that is needlessly advanced and really beyond cure. Personal-PACS is not only cheap, it also makes X-ray departments much more efficient and gives radiologists a better image. The amazing thing, however, is that it proves to be the perfect tool to convince colleagues as well as decision makers.
