[Total body computer tomography or the urogenital system (author's transl)]. 1979

J Ammon, and W Frik, and J H Karstens, and H Rübben, and J Schoffers

Computer tomography cannot only produce transversal sections of the body, but also evaluate the x-ray absorption values of various organs and tissues. It was first used in the investigation of the brain and has influenced the use of traditional neuroradiological techniques. Computer tomography can be used in special cases of diseases of the urogenital system. It is especially helpful in the diagnosis of primary or secondary retroperitoneal processes and also for tumors of the kidney. It allows effective frequent follow up of various therapies and has no side effects. Also in the follow up of various tumors, this noninvasive technique can demonstrate possible recurrences. It appears however that the total body computer tomography will not replace traditional radiological technique. During treatment and follow up of malignant tumors of the urogenital system however it appears very helpful.

D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.
