Thirteen of 324 patients with malignant melanoma followed during a 24 month period experienced dissemination. The thorax was the initial site for relapse in 12, all of whom were asymptomatic. Ten gave no evidence of extrathoracic disease. Retrospective analysis of previous x‐rays originally interpreted as negative revealed metastases in 33%. Life table analysis demonstrated a significantly longer survival for the subset with isolated intrathoracic metastases treated surgically than for their counterparts with metastases no longer amenable to surgery and treated by other modalities. We conclude that the thorax is the site of predilection for initial systemic relapse in malignant melanoma, that detection of early, surgically resectable metastases correlates with longer patient survival, and that routine chest roentgenography is inadequate in reliably uncovering such early disease. These data suggest the potential value of more vigorous radiographic surveillance (with either computed tomography or conventional full lung tomography) in patients at high risk for relapse.

The results of double-contrast examinations of Billroth I and Billroth II anastomoses were compared to endoscopic results in 37 patients. Radiographic and endoscopic correlation was present in 32 of the 37 patients (86%). All 22 cases with enlarged perianastomotic folds on the double-contrast examination had endoscopic confirmation. The double-contrast examination provides excellent visualization of the Billroth I and Billroth II anastomosis and adjacent mucosal detail. We advocate its use as the routine examination of the postoperative stomach.

Bone age assessment by a radiological examination of a hand and wrist image is a procedure frequently performed in pediatric patients to evaluate growth disorders, determine growth potential in children and monitor therapy effects. The assessment method currently used in radiological diagnosis is based on atlas matching of the diagnosed hand image with the reference set of atlas patterns, which was developed in 1950s and is not fully applicable for children of today. We intent to implement a diagnostic workstation for creating a new reference set of clinically normal images which will serve as a digital atlas and can be used for a computer-assisted bone age assessment. In this paper, we present the initial data- collection and system setup phase of this five-year research program. We describe the system design, user interface implementation and software tool development for collection, visualization, management and processing of clinically normal hand and wrist images.
