Abstract

The procedure is performed in two stages. First, during the radiographic exposure, the patient is rotated in relation to the X-ray tube and a recording device, namely a cinefluorographic device or a television chain with a video-recorder. In practice the tube and the recording device will be revolved around the patient. Later on, in the second stage, the cinefluorographic image, or the television image of the rotating patient, is projected onto a photographic film. If this film is adequately rotated, a tomographic picture will be produced. The method can be applied to conventional tomography, zonography, transverse tomography, autotomography and orthopantomography.

Esophageal motility in progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). Comparison of cine-radiographic and manometric evaluation.

The evaluation of structural and functional abnormalities of the esophagus by manometry (using perfused tubes) and cine-radiography were compared in 25 subjects with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). Motility by both procedures was definitely abnormal in 19 subjects and normal in 3. The remaining 3 subjects had abnormal motility on manometry, coupled with cine-esophagrams interpreted as normal. Many structural abnormalities not demonstrated by manometry were identified by cine-radiography. Therefore, the initial diagnostic examination of motility in PSS should be the cine-esophagram.

Cinefluoroscopy in evaluating left ventricular contractility and aneurysms.

Cardiac cinefluoroscopy was performed immediately prior to biplane left ventriculography in 113 patients and the findings of two independent observers compared to the angiographically documented state of the left ventricle. The observers' interpretations were correct in 44% and 46% of studies, respectively; there were 41% and 24% false negatives and 24% and 29% false positives. The observers agreed in only 59% of cases. The results show that cinefluoroscopy for evaluation of left ventricular contractility is grossly inaccurate and should not be performed.

[Ischemic alterations of the regional mechanical performance of the left ventricle. Study of parietal deformation as a vectorial time-dependent parameter and of pressure-length loops (author's transl)].

A study was carried out on 59 patients with significant stenosis (greater than or equal to 75%) in at least one coronary vessel. For each parietal region of the left ventricle the pattern of contraction was defined through a study of the regional deformation as vectorial time-dependent parameter and of the construction of the pressure-length loops. The different models obtained in basal conditions and through intervention (nitroglycerin and post-extrasystolic potentiation) were correlated with experimental data on ischemic alterations of the regional mechanical performance.
