Attention is drawn to the signs of ashestosison computed axial tomography and comparison made with findings in conventional radiology in 3~6patients. CT was found to be significantly “tore sensitivein the detection of hoth pleural and parenchymal diseaseapart from thickened fissures.A possiblesign of early mesothelioma is mentioned and an encasing variety of pleural thicket@! described. Perfusion changesthat may x:rese”t a “pre-radiological” interstitial fibrosis are di:russed. Author’s Abstract

Computed tomography of bladder: rtaglag of bladder ca”al using low denally oprciftcailo” :ahniqae Hamlin DJ, tickett AT, ltlrology 13:331;1979 In the course of computed to’nlographic (CT)SZRI”tion involving 200 patients with suspsted pelvic diseasewe have found that scanq~ualityis often suboptimal. A preliminnry report employing a tow deonsity b!addcr upacificatlon method Is presentedwherrhy an indwelling catheter i9 inserted to control bladder vol““1~ and to facilitate the instillation of low density iodinated contrast agent (0.6% Ro”o~afio~~).

Observations during tL CT staging and follow-up of a controlted group of 8 ~ient% undersoinn immwtotheratw and/or radiation theraw for bladder carcinomztindicate that this is D si~~~,~~f~, and cffeairc stagingprocedure.
