[Computer tomography and interventional radiologic methods in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis].

The authors supervised the case record of 51 patients admitted between 1994 January and 1996 March suffering from acute pancreatitis. Diagnosis was made upon clinical signs, laboratory findings, abdominal ultrasound and CT examinations. In total 121 CT examinations were made mostly by using contrast material.

[CT follow up of the healing process in fractures of the talar corpus].

After reviewing the literary data on the frequency, the etiology, the classification and the anatomical characteristics of the talar fractures authors describe a healed case of a rarely occurring central talus fracture. The bony rebuilding was proven with CT. The importance of the early careful reduction, the performance of operation if necessary and the long lasting release of weight bearing are stressed, and the fact too that the CT, a noninvasive examination, is a valuable means in the judgement of bony rebuilding.
