The present communication reports our experience with the use of xeroradiography in 158 patients suffering mostly from diseases of the locomotor apparatus. The advantage of this method is its high resolution power which allows a simultaneous visualization of skeletal and soft tissues. It is convenient for studies of lymph nodes within the axillar and mammary regions, of skin thickening, or of the vascular pattern. Multiple localizations of hyperostoses, as well as of ligament and tendon calcifications (osteodesmosis) were demonstrated in 35% of the patients with gout and a hyperuricaemic syndrome. Some illustrations of the usefulness of xeroradiography in some acute conditions and in functional studies of the vocal cords are provided.

Videofluoroscopic evaluation of prosthetic fit and residual limbs following transtibial amputation.
J Rehabil Res Dev

Department of Functional Restoration, Stanford University Medical Center, CA 94305, USA.
The clinical examination of residual limb complications is usually subjective and may lead to inappropriate, expensive adjustments or replacement of the prosthesis. Plain films and xeroradiography only provide static images of the residual limb and socket. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a videofluoroscopic technique to evaluate dynamic residual limb-socket relationships during gait.

Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) may afflict patients in all stages of life. Congenital subglottic stenosis is the third most common upper airway anomaly encountered in infants and neonates after laryngomalacia and vocal cord paralysis or fixation. It is a complex condition that demands arduous, often frustrating, efforts at all stages of management.

Istituto di Scienze Radiologiche, Università degli Studi di Milano.
Digital cephalometric radiography with light-emitting phosphors was performed on 15 patients during an orthodontic survey. Lateral views were performed; digital post-processing was carried out according to 3 different sets of characteristic variables (analogic-like, Xeroradiography-like and custom-made). Comparative cephalometric film radiographs were performed on another group of 15 patients matched for age and clinical problems.

Despite significant attention to the cervical region over the last two decades, the hyoid bone has not received deserved recognition. In this report, the anatomy and role of the hyoid bone and suprahyoid muscles in cervicomental morphology are reviewed. From an analysis of cephaloxerograms on 54 patients, it was concluded that on a balanced neck, the most caudal border of the hyoid body is located at or above a line parallel to the Frankfort horizontal line passing through the most caudal border of the mandibular symphysis (menton).
