    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Gegeben sei ein einfaches PolygonP mitn Ecken. Wir geben einen Algorithmus an, der ein Punktepaar auf der Begrenzung vonP liefert, welches die Länge des kürzesten Weges maximiert, der im Äußeren des Polygons verläuft. Den Weg bezeichnen wir als den äußeren geodätischen Durchmesser vonP. Unser Algorithmus benötigt 0(n 2) Zeit und erfordert 0(n) Speicherplatz. Zu unserer Überraschung ist das Problem von dem, der Berechnung des inneren geodätischen Durchmessers vonP völlig verschieden. Während der innere Durchmesser immer in Ecken vonP endet, muß dies für den äußeren Durchmesser nicht der Fall sein. Schließlich zeigen wir noch, daß der Algorithmus so erweitert werden kann, daß er das Problem der entferntesten äußeren geodätischen Nachbarn löst.
    Notes: Abstract Given a simple polygonP ofn vertices, we present an algorithm that finds the pair of points on the boundary ofP that maximizes theexternal shortest path between them. This path is defined as theexternal geodesic diameter ofP. The algorithm takes0(n 2) time and requires0(n) space. Surprisingly, this problem is quite different from that of computing theinternal geodesic diameter ofP. While the internal diameter is determined by a pair of vertices ofP, this is not the case for the external diameter. Finally, we show how this algorithm can be extended to solve theall external geodesic furthest neighbours problem.

    Notes: Abstract Thirty-seven patients with newly diagnosed or treated sarcomas had 47 sets of sequential thallium scans (TS) followed by three-phase bone scan (TPBS) on the same day. The diagnosis in all patients was verified by biopsy (n=40) or long-term follow-up studies (n=7). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of TS and TPBS in detecting sarcomatous lesions was calculated: TS sensitivity was 88%, specificity 69%, and accuracy 83%; blood flow (BF) and blood pool (BP) sensitivity was 91%, specificity 54%, and accuracy 81 %; delayed bone scan (DB) sensitivity was 88%, specificity 38%, and accuracy 74%. In 17 studies the flow and blood pool parts of the TPBS and TS demonstrated the soft tissue component of sarcomas, which would have been missed if only the delayed bone scan had been performed. The TS lesion to normal tissue ratio alone was not very helpful in differentiating sarcomas from benign conditions because some benign lesions are highly cellular and vascular while some malignant lesions, such as chondrosarcoma, have poor vascularity and a less cellular chondroid matrix. However, when the thallium ratio was correlated with similar ratios calculated from yhe BP image, it was found that if the TS lesion to normal tissue ratio exceeded the BP lesion to normal tissue ratio (12 patients), the specificity for detecting sarcomatous lesions was 100%. Nevertheless, the reverse was not true. The positive predictive value of this observation was 100% and the negative predictive value was 37%.
