    Notes: Abstract. Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic value of three-dimensional (3 D) CT surface reconstruction in spinal fractures in comparison with axial and reformatted images. A total of 50 patients with different CT-proven spinal fractures were analysed retrospectively. Based on axial scans and reformatted images, the spinal fractures were classified according to several classifications as Magerl for the thoraco-lumbar and lower cervical spine by one radiologist. Another radiologist performed 3 D CT surface reconstructions with the aim of characterizing the different types of spinal fractures. A third radiologist classified the 3 D CT surface reconstruction according to the Magerl classification. The results of the blinded reading process were compared. It was checked to see in which type and subgroup 3 D surface reconstructions were helpful. Readers one and two obtained the same results in the classification. The 3 D surface reconstruction did not yield any additional diagnostic information concerning type A and B injuries. Indeed, the full extent of the fracture could be easier recognized with axial and reformatted images in all cases. In 10 cases of C injuries, the dislocation of parts of vertebrae could be better recognized with the help of 3 D reconstructions. A 3 D CT surface reconstruction is only useful in rotational and shear vertebral injuries (Magerl type C injury).

    Notes: Abstract A method for investigating the stomach using spiral CT was developed and 15 patients with normal stomachs were examined. The anatomy and wall thickness was studied. The method was tested in the preoperative staging of 35 patients with a high suspicion of gastric cancer. Comparison of the CT results with endoscopic, radiographic, surgical and histological findings showed that in advanced gastric cancer the full extent of the disease is better visualised with CT than with conventional methods. There exists, however, a problem of false-negatives regarding lymph node involvement.

    Notes: Summary Calcification of the media of the arteries of the lower limbs, giving a linear type of calcification roentgenologically is typical for diabetic arteriosclerosis. Spotty calcification of the arteries of the lower extremity, which histologically is found in the intima, is also seen a little more often in diabetics with gangrene. There are no major differences between the other histological vascular structures of diabetics and arteriosclerotics. Maximal stenosis of the lumen is found more peripherally in diabetics than in persons with normal carbohydrate metabolism. The results favour the idea of predominant femoropopliteal occlusion in arteriosclerosis and popliteal-tibial occlusion in diabetics.
