Comparative StudyEvaluation of soft-tissue foreign bodies: comparing conventional plain film radiography, computed radiography printed on film, and computed radiography displayed on a computer workstation.
The study was performed to evaluate detection of soft-tissue foreign bodies using conventional radiography (film-screen radiography), computed radiography printed on films (computed radiography-hard copy), and computed radiography displayed on a computer workstation (computed radiography-soft copy). ⋯ Detection of soft-tissue foreign bodies is best done using computed radiography-soft copy instead of film-screen radiography and computed radiography-hard copy imaging.

Nonsurgical management of patients with blunt splenic injury: efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization.
We evaluated the efficacy of nonsurgical management of patients with blunt splenic injury using detailed angiographic examinations and transcatheter arterial embolization. ⋯ Our success rate for nonsurgical management of patients with blunt splenic injury should encourage more extensive evaluation and use of angiography for splenic injury and the subsequent management of splenic injury without surgery.
