ABSTRACT
Ultrasound was used in 25 patients for the study of penile (21) and bulbar (4) strictures and for the follow-up of 8 of these patients on whom dural urethroplasty was carried out. There was a good correlation with urethrography. Ultrasound has the added advantages of enabling study of the periurethral tissues without testicular irradiation, and safety and economy of the exploration.

The authors have studied some usual parameters of the evaluation of the thyroid gland function, after secondary irradiation during tele-cobaltherapy treatment in 20 patients with larynx carcinoma. The parameters studied have been iodine uptake, Hamolsky index, T4, FT4 PB127I and cholesterol. The values, statistically treated, enable the conclusion that normal adult thyroid gland has a very low clinical and analytical radiosensibility.
