UNLABELLED Radiographic arthrography and bone scintigraphy are common diagnostic procedures used for evaluating total hip prostheses. In this study, both techniques are combined, and nuclear contrast imaging (nuclear arthrography) is added. The efficacy of the procedures is evaluated. METHODS After intravenous injection of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP), standard radiographic arthrograph...

A traumatic coxofemoral luxation was diagnosed in a 15-month-old European neutered male cat, and on the basis of the radiographic evaluation a closed reduction was performed. Consequently, the cat was presented at the University of Bologna because of the failure of the treatment. A supplementary radiographic exam revealed the concomitant avulsion of the greater trochanter, consequently surgical...

This article describes a method for making a diagnostic radiographic evaluation of remaining alveolar bone height in the bounded-saddle patient without the previous fabrication of a study model and radiographic ball-bearing template. The method presented is simple, enabling the busy practitioner to perform immediate radiographic diagnosis and inform the patient at the first visit about the avai...
