Experience with computed tomography (CT) in 25 patients with histologically proven osteosarcoma is presented. CT was as accurate as conventional radiographic methods in determining the presence of a lesion, but it was definitely superior in defining the extent of disease, particularly intramedullary extension and soft tissue extraosseous tumor component. CT was capable of demonstrating skip metastases in one patient. CT plays a key role in the preoperative evaluation of osteosarcoma patients, particularly when less than radical surgery is planned as primary treatment and when postoperative recurrence is suspected. CT is also useful in assessing the response to therapy in nonsurgical cases. The technique involved in the performance of this examination is discussed.

Purpose: To investigate the anatomical variations and measure the distances between surgically relevant structures in the maxilla associated with Le Fort I osteotomy in patients with maxillary canting using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: CBCT scans of 63 patients (21 males and 42 females) with maxillary canting who were indicated for orthognathic surgical planning were retrospectively investigated and analyzed. The distances of the relevant anatomical structures, including the descending palatine artery, pterygomaxillary junction, infraorbital foramen, and nasolacrimal duct opening, were measured with the key anatomical landmarks to evaluate their variations.
Radiological features of desmoid-type fibromatosis: a two-institution retrospective study.

Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: To characterize the radiological findings of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF).
Methods: This two-institution retrospective study included 152 patients with pathologically confirmed DF who underwent computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT between January 2001 and February 2024. Two board-certified radiologists independently evaluated the CT, MRI, and FDG-PET/CT findings, and a third board-certified radiologist resolved discrepancies.

Bacterial meningitis is a rare but severe disease with a high mortality. The most frequent pathogens in adults are pneumococcus, meningococcus and Listeria. The most important key symptoms are headache, meningism and fever; however, the absence of individual cardinal symptoms does not exclude the diagnosis.

Background: Optimization of localizer radiograph and bolus tracking doses is necessary, as their dose proportion may increase with a decreasing diagnostic scan dose in pediatric cardiothoracic computed tomography (CT).
Objective: To evaluate the radiation dose proportions of the localizer radiograph and bolus tracking in low-dose pediatric cardiothoracic CT.
Materials And Methods: For low-dose pediatric cardiothoracic CT, a posteroanterior localizer radiograph was acquired with 80 kV, and 35 mA or 20 mA in 852 infants (age<1 year).
