Diagnosis of vertebral fractures. A comparison of conventional radiography, conventional tomography, and computed axial tomography.

Eighty-five Egyptian mummies belonging to different dynastic periods and collected in a number of Italian museums, have been censed and submitted for paleopathological research. In most cases the presence of bandages required the application of X- rays and computed axial tomography (CAT). Fifty-two mummies have been studied in situ with Xrays; twelve with CAT scanning. Technical problems kept us from investigating eleven of the censed mummies. In a few cases it was possible to perform autopsies, endoscopy, or histological studies. The mummies submitted for X- rays were divided into two groups: The first group thirty-six mummies studied by the team of Paleopathology-Egyptology of the University of Pisa were studied for the first time. The second group was composed of twenty-six mummies studied elsewhere in Italy. Those results also have been included in the Anubi Project database.

Computerized Axial Tomography

Conventional radiography and even high resolution computerized axial tomography leave much to be desired in demonstrating the minutiae of the anatomy of the temporal bone. Multidirectional tomography remains the examination of choice radiographically in cases of congenital anomalies of the temporal bone. Details of the inner, middle and even external ear in the presence of atresia are more clearly delineated by this method than any other to date. Such information is of inestimable value to the surgeon in the diagnosis and surgical correction of anomalies of the temporal bone. Important features of the vestibule, semicircular canals, cochlea, facial nerve, internal auditory canal, temporomandibular joint, pneumatization of the temporal bone, tegmen, tympanic cavity, ossicles, oval and round windows, jugular bulb and carotid artery and the external ear canal are discerned most clearly by multidirectional tomography.

Tomografia Computadorizada: vantagens sobre a Radiografia Panorâmica na avaliação de terceiros molares inferiores inclusos. A cirurgia dos terceiros molares inferiores retidos pode levar a alterações sensoriais importantes, devido a trauma no nervo alveolar inferior, o qual no seu trajeto, apresenta relação intra-óssea importante com as raízes dos molares. A relação entre os ápices do terceiro molar e o canal mandibular deve ser previamente identificada à intervenção cirúrgica. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo a comparação das imagens, da relação dos terceiros molares inferiores retidos com o canal mandibular, fornecidas por radiografias panorâmicas (RP) e por tomografias computadorizadas (TC). Metodologia: Comparação de radiografias panorâmicas e suas respectivas TC, levando em consideração a relação de proximidade dos ápices dentários com o canal mandibular. Resultados: Das RP avaliadas, todas apresentaram imagem de sobreposição do canal mandibular, e uma delas, também sugeriu trajeto interradicular do mesmo. Na TC comprovou-se tridimensionalmente relação de proximidade dos mesmos e em um caso, descartou-se a possibilidade de um trajeto interradicular do canal mandibular. Conclusão: Pelo material analisado, sugere-se que a TC mostra-se superior no diagnóstico e planejamento cirúrgico de terceiros molares inclusos.
