Radiological imaging of rectal cancer.

This article discusses the possibilities of diagnosing abdominal imaging in patients with rectal cancer, detecting lesions and assessing the stage of the lesions, in order to select the appropriate therapy. Before the introduction of imaging technologies, the diagnosis of colorectal pathology was based on conventional methods of inspecting intestines with a barium enema, with either a single or double contrast barium enema. Following the development of endoscopic methods and the wide use of colonoscopy, colonoscopy became the method of choice for diagnosing colorectal diseases.

[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): correlation with diagnosis using ERCP].

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is non invasive imaging technique able to provide projection images of the bile and pancreatic ducts. Using breath--hold and non-breath--hold acquisition techniques, have been employed in order to obtain MRCP images. Clinical applications of MRCP are evaluated from presenting references and from personal experience.

[MRI of the spleen].

[Percutaneous drainage of abdominal fluid collections guided by computer tomography].

During the war, June 1992,-August 1994, at the Institute 20 percutaneous fluid collections and abscesses drainages in the belles were done, controlled by the CT. The percutaneous drainage we started in 1984, until now we had 141 cases, 20 cases in the war time, 14 of them were wounded, while the rest was suffering from a malignant process in stomach, pancreas, kidneys.
