    Notes: Abstract A group of 41 patients with intracranial meningiomas were examined by MR imaging (MRI) and MR angiography (MRA) to assess the. clinical value of MRA in the preoperative evaluation of these patients. The results of MRA were compared with the results of intraarterial cerebral catheter X-ray angiography (XRA; n = 19) and with the operative findings (n = 41 ): Our results showed a good correlation between MRA and XRA/surgery in demonstrating the relationship between the tumor and adjacent venous and arterial structures. Use of MRA was also helpful in demonstrating the degree of intrinsic tumor vascularity. It also supplied important information for operative planning Adjunct XRA was mandatory if detailed information about tumor-feeding vessels was requested by the neurosurgeon, especially in highly vascularized angiomatous meningiomas and in meningiomas suspected of tumor feeding by vessels of the internal carotid artery.

    Notes: Summary. The aim of the trial was to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of iopentol (Imagopaque®, Nycomed Imaging AS, Oslo, Norway) and amidotrizoate (Peritrast®, Köhler Pharma, Alsbach, Germany), both 300 mg I/ml initially, but diluted to 2 % (v/v) and administered orally. Sixty-four and 65 patients were included in the respective contrast medium groups. Portions of contrast medium, totally 1.5 l, were taken every 15 min during the hour before the examination. A standard radiological procedure for abdominal CT was followed. Nine percent of the patients in each group experienced adverse events which were possibly contrast medium related. Taste acceptance was comparable in the two groups. Except for the stomach, radiographic efficacy was satisfactory for all intestinal segments. The difference in density in the proximal small bowel (main parameter) achieved with the media was not significant (p = 0.33), nor was that as regards image homogeneity (contrast distribution). In conclusion, iopentol is well suited for oral contrast enhancement of the gastrointestinal tract in abdominal computed tomography.

    Reversible metastatic pulmonary calcification in a patient with multiple myeloma (1996)

    Notes: Abstract  A-52-year-old patient presented with a 2-year history of multiple myeloma, recurrent episodes of hypercalcemia, and extensive bone involvement. She developed pulmonary infiltrates, initially misdiagnosed as interstitial pneumonia. High-resolution computed tomography and bone scintiscanning indicated pulmonary calcification, which was confirmed by a transbronchial biopsy. Cytostatic treatment of multiple myeloma in combination with repetitive i.v. administration of bisphosphonates over a period of 6 months led to a significant improvement of clinical symptoms. Regression of pulmonary infiltrates was demonstrated by chest radiograph and computed tomography. There are only a few reports on pulmonary calcification in patients with multiple myeloma; the condition was associated mostly with progressive disease, kidney failure, adult respiratory distress syndrome and bad prognosis. In our patient isolated calcification of the lungs without involvement of other organ systems was successfully treated. These findings suggest that interstitial pulmonary calcinosis in multiple myeloma can be reversed by normalization of serum calcium levels using bisphosphonates combined with cytostatic treatment.
