    Notes: Summary From February to November 1981 the diagnostic relevance of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was compared prospectively in 75 patients with suspected pancreatic disease. Final diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy, surgery, clinical course, and further laboratory data. Thus it was possible to exclude pancreatic disorders in 32 patients. By ERCP we diagnosed all tumors; sensitivity was 100%. Sensitivity of US and CT were 63% each. In five cases US made the false positive diagnosis” pancreatic malignant tumor” (specifity 93%), CT and ERCP in two cases (specifity 97% each). In chronic pancreatitis specifity of US and ERCP were 100% and specifity of CT was 98%. Sensitivity of ERCP amounted to 93%, CT and US revealed 74% and 52%, respectively. We conclude that ERCP is the best morphologic diagnostic tool in differentiating chronic pancreatitis from pancreatic carcinoma. US is a good screening method and CT reveals good diagnostic results in acute pancreatitis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dans une étude prospective on a effectué chez 9 malades atteints d'arthrite rhumatoïde une double photo-absorptiométrie avant une synovectomie du genou, ainsi que 3, 6, 12 et 24 mois après l'opération. Cet examen a permis d'évaluer quantitativement le degré d'ostéoporose juxta-articulaire. La densité osseuse a ensuite été comparée à un groupe de contrôle sans lésions du genou. Les mesures faites après synovectomie montrent une augmentation de la minéralisation osseuse à partir du sixième mois post-opératoire. Ceci prouve que la densitométrie de l'os constitue un indicateur objectif de l'évolution de l'ostéoporose juxta-articulaire dans les rhumatismes inflammatoires.
    Notes: Summary In a prospective study 9 patients, who were going to have a synovectomy for rheumatoid arthritis of the knee, underwent dual photon absorptiometry before, and at intervals after, operation. This determined the degree of juxta-articular osteoporosis quantitatively. The density was compared to a control group with normal knees. The follow up measurements showed an improvement in the juxta-articular bone mineral content after the 6th month. This demonstrates that bone densitometry is an objective indicator of the development of juxta-articular osteoporosis in inflammatory joint disease.
