[CT in the study of a dissecting aortic aneurysm at the moment of rupture and complicated by left hemothorax]. / Contributo TC nello studio di un aneurisma aortico dissecante colto in fase di rottura e complicato da emotorace sinistro.

[Echography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in the evaluation of obstructive lesions of the bile ducts]. / L'ecografia e la colangiografia percutanea transepatica nella valutazione delle lesioni ostruttive delle vie biliari.

Among diagnostic techniques proposed for the study of obstructive jaundice, the initial use of echotomography clearly distinguishes between medical and surgical forms. If surgery is not indicated, further diagnostic investigations, (transhepatic percutaneous cholangiography followed if necessary by drainage of the bile duct) are conducted. Used in conjunction, echography and TPC will solve clinical doubts in most cases.

[Breast pneumocystography. 96 tentative cases]. / La pneumocistigrafia mammaria. Contributo casistico di 96 tentativi.

Successful execution of mammary pneumocystography in 87-96 attempts is reported. A brief description of the method and a statistical assessment of the incidence and features of the cysts observed are followed by the expression of a very favourably judgment on the soundness of the technique, and the presentation of several of the more meaningful cases.
