Proton irradiation of malignant uveal melanoma. A five year follow-up of patients treated in Uppsala, Sweden.

Twenty patients with malignant uveal melanoma were treated at the The Svedbergh cyclotron in Uppsala from 1989 to 1991. Each tumour received a total dose of 54.6 Gy in four equal fractions on four following days.

Bone remodeling after leg lengthening: evaluation with plain radiographs, and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Ten patients who had undergone leg lengthening were monitored with plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans at 3-month intervals. Four of them were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. When the external fixator was removed, MRI scans could not demonstrate any continuous fat signals in the lengthened region, suggesting the lack of medullary cavity.
