Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the technical result and long term outcome of central venous arm ports placed by radiologists.
Materials And Method: Over a 5-year period, 399 arm ports were implanted by radiologists in 391 patients. The system consists of a low profile titanium chamber and a silicone catheter.
Background And Purpose: Surgical repair of spinal metastases from renal origin is often complicated by excessive bleeding. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of preoperative particulate embolization on intraoperative blood loss.

We present a new technique for minimal invasive radiological assisted necrosectomy (MIRAN) for infected necrosis in acute pancreatitis. We describe how to place volumic catheters for fragmentation and extraction of necrotic material. In addition a new technique is described for minimal invasive occlusion of selected pancreas tail to avoid fistulas.

Conventional images were compared with digital radiographs using identical and reduced radiation doses.
Materials And Methods: Thirty consecutive patients were studied prospectively using conventional screen-film radiography (SFR; detector dose 2.
