Subphrenic abscess: the radiological approach.

Abstract:

:Subphrenic abscess will continually plague the post-laparotomy patient. The high mortality associated with these abscesses can be reduced by diagnosing and draining them early. In 42 patients with 55 subphrenic abscesses, the most important diagnostic modality proved to be conventional radiographs of the abdomen allowing 65% of the subphrenic abscesses to be detected. Other procedures were largely confirmatory in suspicious cases. Thus ultrasound is useful in right subphrenic suprahepatic abscesses while modified upper and lower gastrointestinal studies allow rapid diagnosis of extra-intestinal abscess gas or mass effect.

  • The role of magnetic resonance imaging techniques in the evaluation of orbital and ocular disease.

    abstract::Technical developments have resulted in a great improvement in the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbit. With surface coil data acquisition spatial resolution of less than a millimetre can now be achieved, and contrast discrimination is such that the cortex and nucleus of the lens can be distinguis...
