Abstract:
From 1978 to 1980 a total of 119 patients with carcinoma of the rectum were treated by abdominoperineal excision at Erlangen University Surgical Clinic. 66 of these patients were examined by CAT scan in a follow-up study. Local recurrence was found in nine patients. A radical second operation was useful in one case only. Our findings show, that only postoperative check-ups by CAT scan can detect new tumor growth at an early state. The prognostic groups used in Erlangen are helpful in defining the intervals for postoperative examinations by CAT scan.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
