[en] Thirty-three patients with primary and secondary tumors of the liver were examined by computer-tomographic arteriography. Methods of selective intraarterial amplification of a computer-tomographic image is presented, as we indications for and contraindications against the use of such technique. The method permitted the detection of foci 3-5 mm in diameter. On the whole use of computer-tomographic arteriography helped improve the diagnosis of focal liver involvement by 27 %

[en] Arteriography was performed in 35 patients with soft tissue desmoid fibromas. Angiographic semiotics of this disease was described. The frequency of detectability of symptoms in the arterial, parenchymatous and venous phases was analyzed. A tumor in the arterial phase was shown to be of normevascular or moderately hypervascular type without noticeable winding of the nutrient arteries, such features of malignancy as lacunae and ''tumor'' vessels being absent. In the parenchymatous phase desmoid tumors were shown to accumulate moderately a contrast substance, a tumor contour at a vast length was ill defined and poorly marked from surrounding tissues. The venous phase was less noticeable and the time of its appearance was usually within normal. In general by most of its parameters the angiographic picture of agressive fibromatosis corresponded to that of benign tumors and could be used for differential diagnosis of desmoid fibromas and some types of tissue sarcomas

[en] Possibilities of surgical treatment of retroperitoneal tumors involving vena cava inferior (VCI) are shown. Iliocavography was applied to specify the degree of involving VCI and ilioveins in tumor process as well as to determine the character of rebuilding the venous bed. Schemes of operations performed on nonorgan retroperitoneal tumors are presented

[en] The paper is concerned with analysis of the results of X-ray investigation of 45 patients with aneurysms of the distal part of the arch and descending part of the thoracic aorta. X-ray investigation helped to establish correct diagnosis of aneurysm of the aorta in 42 of 45 patients (93.3 %) on the basis of the detection of intense additional shadow formation in left pulmonary field, unseparable from the aortic shadow. The use of a new method of ultrasound diagnosis-duplex scanning-made it possible to establish the presence of aneurysm and to determine its sizes as well as to visualize the relation of the left subclavicular artery to aneurysm in 17 of 21 patients. CT-semiotics of aneurysms of the descending part of the thoracic aorta consisted in its dilatation over 3.5 cm, wall calcification, thrombosis of the cavity and change of the adjacent structures. Basing on the analysis of these signs correct diagnosis was established in 34 of 35 examinees (97.1 %)
