Comparative Study
Diagnostic Accuracy of Full-Body Linear X-Ray Scanning in Multiple Trauma Patients in Comparison to Computed Tomography.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of full-body linear X-ray scanning (LS) in multiple trauma patients in comparison to 128-multislice computed tomography (MSCT). ⋯ The overall sensitivity of LS for truncal skeleton injuries in multiple-trauma patients was < 50 %. The diagnostic reference standard MSCT is the preferred and reliable imaging modality. LS may be valuable for quick detection of extremity fractures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent selective interventional embolization of renal pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas at our center. ⋯ Arterial pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas are rare but severe complications after partial nephrectomy. Selective microcoil embolization is a safe and effective kidney-preserving procedure for treating these complications. Embolization leads to a significant loss of renal parenchymal volume but not to a loss of renal function.
