[Computerized tomography in detection of hepatic abscesses (author's transl)].
A series of 24 patients affected by hepatic abscess have been examined by means of CT. The localization observed was: 12 intrahepatic abscesses, 5 subdiaphragmatic, 7 subhepatic and 1 both intrahepatic and subdiaphragmatic. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are described, beside considerations on the examination technique.

Case Reports[Use of glucagon in the reduction of intussusception; presentation of one case (author's transl)].
Intramuscular glucagon was used in one patient with ileocolic intussusception when standard therapeutic barium enema reduction failed. Reduction was accomplished following administration of glucagon and a repeat barium enema. Use of the two methods together may improve the success rate of nonoperative reduction of intussusception.

[Radiological study of panarteritis nodosa with renal localization. Considerations on 9 cases].
The pathologic lesions in panarteritis nodosa with renal involvement are of two types: macroscopic and microscopic. The diagnosis of the macroscopic form is made with angiography when it discloses diffuse aneurysms. The angiographic features of the microscopic form are not distinguished from those of other renal parenchymal diseases. Plain films of the abdomen and urography are insufficient for diagnosis but they can be useful in the follow up of the panarteritis nodosa.
