Dr. Edgar P. McNamee

Leadership, knowledge of the problems confronting physicians in these times of social change, administrative experience, and a gift of friendship—these are the qualities that Dr. Edgar P. McNamee, who now assumes the presidency of the Radiological Society of North America, brings to that high office. Dr. McNamee has been a practising radiologist in Cleveland since his return from service in the first World War. His training in the specialty began in the Army X-Ray School, Pittsburgh, Penna., in 1917 and continued at Cleveland City Hospital. He has been in charge of the Department of Roentgenology at St. Alexis Hospital since 1920 and from an early date has devoted part of his time to the private practice of roentgenology. Dr. McNamee was born in Butler, Penna., in 1890 and, after receiving his early education there, went to the University of Pennsylvania, where he was awarded his M.D. degree in 1913. In the course of the first World War he saw service as a medical officer with the Third Division during en...

Effective Compression in Excretory Pyelography

Since the introduction of intravenous pyelography by Swick (11) in 1929, the difficulty in obtaining uniformly good renal shadows has been recognized. Attempts have been made to remedy this situation. Dehydration prior to pyelography is today a standard procedure and recently administration of pitressin for the concentration of diodrast has been suggested (12). The procedure of choice would be the administration of a drug to cause sphincteric contracture at the ureterovesical junction. Unfortunately such a drug is not known and other less efficacious means must be resorted to. Arendt and Maslow (1) fill the bladder with mineral oil and thereby prevent passage of the dye into the bladder. Councill (4) places a balloon in the bladder. By this method both mechanical and physiological obstruction is produced, since the desire to void causes closure of the ureteral valves. These latter technics nullify an important feature of excretory pyelography, its simplicity. Their practicality is questioned. Most investigators have directed their attention toward producing obstruction of the lower ureters by abdominal compression, in an attempt to increase the concentration of contrast material in the proximal collecting system. A variety of homemade compression devices have appeared. Hudson (5) uses a small lint pad stuffed with cotton wool. Bell and his associates (2) employ a child's football or basketball bladder. Pressure is usually applied with a degree of firmness dependent upon the technician's estimate of what is needed to produce the desired effect. The patients complaint of discomfort is used by some as indicating the point beyond which further pressure should not be applied. The reliability and accuracy of ureteral obstruction produced by such methods is at best questionable, and the need for further refinement of the technic is apparent. A simple and effective instrument for applying abdominal compression is being used by the Department of Roentgenology in conjunction with the Department of Urology at the University Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The procedure promises to eliminate much of the guesswork and cumbersomeness of the older methods. The cuff of a baumanometer is used as the compression device. It is placed beneath an abdominal binder and remains connected to the recording instrument by its tube, which extends from under the binder. The desired pressure can be applied at will by the technician. Technic The patient is dehydrated and all food is withheld eighteen hours prior to excretory pyelography. Though our own experience, as well as the work of Pearman (9), has indicated the superiority of castor oil in ridding the abdomen of gas, the use of this unpleasant laxative has not proved necessary. If, by the excretory method, renal sinus shadows are produced which are comparable in intensity to those obtainable by retrograde injection, the presence of some intestinal gas is not too objectionable.

An Unusual Roentgen Shadow in Chloroma

The close correlation between the roentgen and autopsy findings prompted the report of the following case. A colored male, 28 years old, was admitted to the hospital with evidence of a debilitating disease and was referred to the Department of Roentgenology for examination of the sternum. Films showed a destructive process in the inferior segment of the gladiolus. A biopsy had been performed at this point several weeks previously, but the destruction was too extensive to be the result of that procedure. A shadow of unusual clarity was observed adjacent to and merging with the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae (Fig. 1). This density was localized by fluoroscopy and oblique films in the posterior portion of the mediastinum. A soft-tissue mass was demonstrable anterior to the defect. These findings suggested tuberculosis as the etiological factor. In this department oblique films of the sternum are made with a long exposure time with the patient breathing. The respiratory motion results in a blurring of the l...

Supplementum XLIII to Acta Radiologica. A volume of 179 pages, with 177 illustrations. Published by P. A. Nordstedt & Söner, Stockholm, 1942.To the series of useful monographs published as Supplements to Acta Radiologica, Dr. Sven Roland Kjellberg of the Department of Roentgenology of the Caroline Hospital, Stockholm, has added the present volume on Hysterosalpingography. The text is in German but an adequate English summary is appended, and numerous illustrations tell their own story even to those whose knowledge of the language is limited.The book opens with a historical review of contrast studies of the uterus and tubes, including an interesting list of some of the materials which have been used for that purpose in the last thirty-five years. The author's own material consisted of 328 cases examined in the Caroline Hospital from Nov. 20, 1940, to Feb. 28, 1942, chiefly with the aid of 50 per cent perabrodil. The examination, as he describes it, consists of two parts: first, a study of the uterine cavity and the tubal lumen ; second, a study of the external contours of the pelvic organs, the thickness of the uterine wall, and the appearance of the minor pelvis. For the second part the contrast solution is diluted by an equal amount of water. Only 4 complications were seen in the entire series.Following the discussion of anatomical considerations and the technic, are descriptions of the roentgen pictures of the normal organs and the changes incident to disease. A comprehensive bibliography, international in its scope, is appended.Article HistoryPublished in print: Apr 1946 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 46, No. 4 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download

Filing and Cross-Indexing of Radiation Therapy Hecords

In a previous publication (1) certain principles governing the filing and especially the cross-indexing of roentgen-ray diagnostic records were presented. These may be summarized as follows: 1. The clinical experience embodied in accumulated roentgen-ray records is of little value for either teaching or investigative purposes unless it can be approached in a systematic fashion, namely, through a sound method of cross-indexing. 2. A cross-indexing system is inextricably related to the method of handling the roentgen-ray records; indexing is valueless unless the records are filed so as to be readily available when located within the scheme of codification. 3. A cross-indexing system must be simple both in respect to the clerical effort involved and in the fineness of its subdivisions. Inordinately detailed categorization is impracticable and may result in the expenditure of excessive labor in maintaining the system. The primary objective of the cross-index is to simplify the tedious search through large masses of records for material pertinent to some particular purpose. 4. Division of all diagnoses to be classified into a number of broad diagnostic fields simplifies the coding scheme and minimizes labor. The field system automatically breaks down the mass of diagnoses into a number of groups, and the process of recovery of material is limited to a search within one of these rather than the total bulk of the records. To translate these principles into practice, a coding scheme was presented which, with a minimum of clerical work, provided multiple diagnostic categories, within ten main divisions, of the abnormal findings possible in the field of diagnostic roentgenology. A separate code of normal findings, likewise divided into ten major fields, provided immediate segregation of normal from abnormal observations. The simplicity of the hand-scoring method and the ease of locating the desired diagnostic categories in the various fields (employing, in loose-leaf form, ruled normal and abnormal pages for each field) have made this method intensely practical and it has gained considerable popularity among radiologists. For the past four years in the Section on Radiation Therapy of the Department of Roentgenology at the University of Michigan, a cross-indexing system and coding plan based on principles identical with the diagnostic method and similar in external form have been employed with satisfactory results. With minor clerical effort the case records of all patients irradiated are catalogued into pertinent categories, distributed among a number of gross divisions (fields) of the entities encountered in radiation therapy practice. The mechanism of the system is such that, immediately upon cataloguing, the records are available for recall from the files for use in clinical investigation, teaching, or for other purposes.

Rapid Development of Bone Changes in a Patient with Syringomyelia as Observed Roentgenologically

We have had under observation a patient with syringomyelia, who within a few weeks developed marked bone changes in several joints. This case is being reported to illustrate the rapidity with which these changes may occur and to emphasize, among other things, their importance in neuropathic joints because of the medicolegal and compensation aspects. Case Report O. H., a 44-year-old Negro, was referred for a roentgen examination of a painful left shoulder on Feb. 17, 1942. A diagnosis of subdeltoid bursitis had been made in the surgical outpatient department and novocain injections had been given to relieve the pain. The roentgen examination showed nothing abnormal (Fig. 1). A month later (March 10, 1942) the patient returned to the surgical outpatient department because of an elevation of temperature, ranging to 102°. The shoulder ached and was swollen and fluctuant. It could be dislocated downward and posteriorly and the dislocation could be reduced without pain. Aspiration yielded about 50 c.c. of serosanguineous fluid. Smears and cultures were negative. A roentgen examination, March 24, showed considerable destruction of the head of the humerus, and a diagnosis of a neuroarthropathy was made (Figs. 2 and 3). Up until this time the previous history of the patient was entirely unknown to members of the department of roentgenology. A request was made for an examination of other parts of the body. The only other abnormal joints observed were the right and left elbows, which showed beginning absorption of cartilage and some hypertrophic changes (Figs. 4 and 5). The patient was an alum packer and had been admitted to the neurology clinic in 1927, complaining of soreness and numbness in his left hand, especially along the distribution of the ulnar nerve. In the next three years his symptoms progressed. The left pupil was larger than the right. Serologic tests of the blood and spinal fluid were negative. By 1940, a limp and weakness of the left knee had developed. Amputation of the right middle finger was done for a non-healing ulcer. Serologic tests were again negative. In December 1941, the reflexes were recorded as follows: Biceps Right: Markedly depressed Left : Markedly depressed Triceps Right: Markedly depressed Left: Markedly depressed Abdominals Right: Absent Left : Absent Cremasteric Right : Exaggerated Left : Exaggerated Patella Right : Exaggerated Left: Greatly exaggerated Achilles Right: Exaggerated Left: Greatly exaggerated Babinski Right: Negative Left: Negative Patella clonus Right: Present Left: Sustained Ankle clonus Right: Sustained Left: Sustained

Leo G. Rigler, M.D.—An Appreciation

Over one hundred friends of Leo G. Rigler gathered at a special dinner in Minneapolis, Dec. 9, 1944, to wish him well. The occasion was the fall meeting of the Minnesota Radiological Society, and the guest speaker was Fred J. Hodges, Professor of Roentgenology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Walter J. Ude, representing the Minnesota Radiological Society and friends of the honored guest, gave a sum of $10,000 to the University of Minnesota to establish the Leo G. Rigler Lectureship in Radiology. This was accepted by Dean H. S. Diehl. Speakers were Robert G. Allison, George E. Fahr, E. T. Bell, and others. For some time the radiologists have wanted to express to Doctor Rigler their appreciation of his untiring efforts in their behalf. When his friends in other branches of medicine heard of this proposal, they too wanted to help, and the sum accumulated so rapidly that it quickly reached the desired amount. Leo George Rigler was born Oct. 6, 1896, in Minneapolis. He attended the University of Minnesota, from which he received his M.D. in 1920. Following an internship in St. Louis City Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, and practice in North Dakota, he was named teaching fellow in Internal Medicine, University of Minnesota (1921–22). The following year he was appointed Roentgenologist at Minneapolis General Hospital. He was named Associate Professor of Radiology in the University of Minnesota in 1927, and Professor in 1929. In 1935 he became chief of the department and has served in that capacity to date. In 1930 the State Board of Institutions made him a consultant. In 1941 the Minneapolis General Hospital named him chief of the Department of Roentgenology. Prior to accepting the departmental appointment, Doctor Rigler completed his studies in Europe, spending most of his time with Professor Forssell in Sweden. Here he also learned to speak Swedish. Doctor Rigler is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, Sigma Xi, American Medical Association, Hennepin County Medical Society, Minnesota State Medical Association, Minneapolis Academy of Medicine, Minnesota Academy of Medicine, American Roentgen Ray Society, Radiological Society of North America, Minnesota Radiologic Society, American College of Radiology (fellow), American Association of Thoracic Surgery and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is the author of Outline of Roentgen Diagnosis, which went into a second edition in 1943, and of many scientific reports. He is active on the Publication Committee for Radiology. As long as any of us can remember, Leo Rigler has been doing things for other people. The list is long and impressive. He has arranged and organized departmental conferences with most of the other departments in the hospital, as well as with the preclinical branches. He is always ready and willing to speak at medical gatherings and to teach special courses at the Center for Continuation Study.

Classification and Filing in Department of Roentgenology: Standard Nomenclature

Creating a classification is no small task. The task is never finished so long as new ideas, facts, and technics develop and departments grow and change. If you arrange a classification for your department, it will start out trim and simple. Then there will be additions. You become accustomed to its eccentricities and less critical of its logical development. It is apt to wind up a hodge podge of anatomic, etiologic, and technical terms. It may be to your advantage to select a classification ready made even though you may be critical of the handling of certain details of personal interest in such classification. The classification selected should be: 1. A live classification, kept up to date and revised periodically. 2. Practical—not too cumbersome, but adequate, easily expanded or contracted depending upon the size of the institution served. 3. Adjustable, flexible, to reflect any change in interest or change in type of work done in the department. 4. Satisfactory for scientific requirements, but usa...

Experiences in the Treatment of Carcinoma of the Cervix Uteri

This presentation relates to the management, treatment, and end-results observed in a group of patients with carcinoma of the cervix uteri encountered on the Gynecological Ward Service at the Jefferson Medical College Hospital during the past two decades. More specifically it represents a follow-up study of the patients seen and treated between Sept. 1, 1921, and Sept. 1, 1937. Thus a sixteen-year survey is made available, showing both the present-day and the five-year survival rates obtained during that period of time. Five, ten, and fifteen year reports of our work have been published previously (1, 2, 3). Opportunity for organizing and developing this clinic was afforded by the writer's former chief, Dr. Brooke M. Anspach, Consulting Gynecologist and Emeritus Professor of Gynecology at Jefferson. The radium employed by the Department of Gynecology is supplied by the Lucy B. Henderson Radium Foundation, of which Dr. William S. Newcomet is Director. The x-ray therapy is administered by and in close co-operation with the Department of Roentgenology, of which Dr. Karl Kornblum is Chief. Reliance upon these sources of assistance is gratefully acknowledged. Patients Observed and Follow-Up Table I is self-explanatory. Seventeen patients were untreated, for various reasons. Nine presented disease so far advanced that no treatment was deemed advisable. Seven signed releases, and 3 of these were subsequently treated elsewhere. One patient, previously treated in a distant city, required no further treatment when she entered our clinic for observation. Six patients are untraced. Two, with advanced disease, were untreated; 3, with advanced disease, were treated, and all of these 5 patients are very probably dead. The sixth patient was alive and in good health when lost sight of eight years after treatment. The relatively high percentage of traced patients is the result of persistent and approved follow-up methods. These include personal attendance at the weekly Follow-up Clinic by the attending chiefs, an appointment system, contact by correspondence, visits by social workers, and co-operation of relatives and family physicians. Extent of Involvement The classification of the extent of disease, as proposed by the late Henry Schmitz, has been consistently followed ever since the establishment of the clinic. For practical purposes we consider it much more satisfactory than the relatively recent classification of the League of Nations, with the numerous subdivisions detailed in the published Atlas of the latter authority. The personal equation can never be entirely eliminated from any system of physical examination, but the probability of error is perhaps reduced when a less complicated scheme is consistently followed. The group to which a patient is assigned when first seen is maintained for the duration of her life. For instance, if a patient primarily classified as Group 3 shows marked regression of the lesion following treatment, we do not reclassify her as Group 2, on the assumption that the extent of the disease as first observed might have been of inflammatory origin, for if such a procedure were followed repeatedly, confusion would surely result. If reactivation of a lesion occurs after primary treatment, and further therapy is given, the initial classification is unchanged.

Accessory apparatus to assist in proper posturing of the pelvic inlet

It may be observed from Fig. 1 that with the patient in the supine position the plane of the pelvic inlet is not parallel to the plane of the film. In order that the pelvis may be typed with a minimum of difficulty, some device is necessary for tilting the plane of the inlet to bring it parallel to the plane of the film. Caldwell and Moloy advocated the use of a lumbosacral pad as illustrated in Fig. 2, to place the pelvic inlet in its proper relation to t,he plane of the film. This means of tilting the inlet has been practiced in the Department of Roentgenology of the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital for some time. During this time I had occasion to notice a great deal of discomfort to the patient when the heavy pad was placed under the curve of the lower spine.

Introduction of the Carman Lecturer

MR. President, Dr. Golden, fellow members of the Radiological Society of North America and honored guests: Each year we gather to pay tribute to the memory and inspiration of Dr. Russell D. Carman. The Carman Lecturers and those who have introduced the Carman Lecturers have often told of his energy, his keenness of observation, his intellectual honesty, common sense and trustworthy professional judgment. The dramatic set-ting of his final illness and his own spiritual and physical courage are recalled and retold by all who knew him. Dr. Carman's most lasting contributions to our specialty have been embodied in his text on “Diagnosis of Diseases of the Alimentary Tract.” From the preface to this I quote these words: “The essentials of a satisfactory roentgen diagnosis are faithfulness to an orderly routine, careful observation, cautious interpretation, re-examination of doubtful cases, and a willingness to admit, whenever it is true, that the findings are inconclusive.” I want, also, to quote a supplementary thought from the editorial introduction of an equally celebrated text in diagnostic roentgenology written twenty years later: “Even when a positive roentgen diagnosis cannot be made, information of great aid in the handling of the patient may be obtained. The importance of cordial sympathetic co-operation of the clinician and roentgenologist and a frank discussion of specific clinical problems cannot be overemphasized.” These are the words of Dr. Ross Golden, tonight's Carman Lecturer, and just as my quotation from Dr. Golden's introduction supplements that of Russell Carman, so Dr. Golden's splendid work in the field of roentgen diagnosis of the gastro-intestinaI tract supplements that of the earlier master. Dr. Golden received his early training and inspiration under the tutelage of that master teacher and beloved preceptor, Dr. George W. Holmes, later being invited to head the Department of Roentgenology in the Presbyterian Hospital of New York City. He is editor of the splendid text “Diagnostic Roentgenology,” and author of the sections in it dealing with the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract. His numerous writings have been chiefly on this important and often baffling subject, and his lecture tonight, as is especially fit ting, deals with one of these problems, his subject being, “Abnormalities of the Small Intestine in Nutritional Disturbances, Some Observations on their Physiologic Basis.”

The Value of Roentgen Examination of the Paranasal Sinuses

The widespread employment of roentgen methods in the examination of paranasal sinus disease suggests that these methods are of considerable practical value. In an effort to determine to what extent this assumption is correct, roentgenologic and clinical observations regarding the sinuses have been reviewed in a considerable number of case records. Roentgenologic impressions have been compared with symptoms, physical signs, and, where available, operative findings. At the University Hospital during the two-year-period ending June 30, 1936, 1,248 patients were referred to the Department of Roentgenology for examination of the paranasal sinuses. This group represents 1.8 per cent of all diagnostic procedures conducted by the Department during the 24-month interval. Records of 1,000 consecutive cases of suspected sinus disease were withdrawn from files for this period. One hundred and forty-six of these records were promptly discarded because of inadequate clinical information or inconclusive roentgen finding...
