A comparison of thermography, radioisotope scanning and clinical assessment of the knee joints in haemophilia.

Thermography, radioactive scanning and clinical assessment of the knee joints of a series of patients with haemophilia or Christmas disease have been performed. A positive correlation was found between the abnormalities of the thermograms, radioactive scans and the clinical signs in acute haemarthrosis, but not in chronic haemophilic joint disease nor in patients without clinical joint disease. No correlation between the thermograms, radioactive scans and the number of previous joint bleeds was shown. Thermography and radionuclide scanning provide rapid means of quantifying changes within the haemophilic joint and may be useful in assessing treatment of haemophilic haemarthrosis.

Cost-effective analysis of pre-cystectomy radioisotope scans.

To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of liver and bone isotope scans results were reviewed in 114 patients with invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. In 100 patients cystectomy was performed. In no patient has the results of the scans influenced or changed treatment. Routine use of isotope scans is not warranted for the preoperative evaluation of bladder cancer patients.
