Fistulas

Fig. 40. A. Plain film of abdomen. Air-filled bladder in a patient with vesicovaginal fistula. Dome of bladder is outlined with arrows. B. Cystogram. Contrast medium fills the bladder and runs onto the vaginal tampon ( T) inferior to the bladder and posterior to the Foley catheter ( arrow ). Volume 4, Chapter 54


Fig. 41. Barium examination of colon (lateral film). Barium flows from the rectum into the vagina and bladder. The caliber of the colon and rectum is small, and the space between the rectum and the sacrum is increased. This latter finding indicates shortening of the colon and is seen in patients with changes in the rectum caused by chronic irradiation. The lower vagina is not visualized because of coaptation of the vaginal walls after previous irradiation. Volume 4, Chapter 54

Metastases

Fig. 47. A. Bone scan shows increased radioisotope uptake in left acetabulum and ilium. B. Radiograph of pelvis shows destruction and some osteoblastic activity in left ilium and acetabular area (between arrows ). C. Bone scan 14 months after A and B shows less activity on the left than is shown in A. Osteoblastic activity at this time is much less than previously shown in A. D. Radiograph demonstrates much larger lytic areas than in B. Acetabulum and adjacent bony areas are completely destroyed. Femur is rotated, but femoral head is intact. ( B, bladder.) Volume 4, Chapter 54


Fig. 53. A. Posteroanterior chest film with metastatic lesion in left upper lung field, second anterior interspace ( arrow ). B. Axial CT scan shows the lesion ( arrow) projecting from the pleura. Volume 4, Chapter 54
