“…Brindle (1978) instigated a system of rationing radiological studies to different users. Clinical guidelines to reduce the number of requests have also been provided (Bull and Zilkha, 1968;Reidy et al, 1975;Rees et al, 1976;de Lacey, 1976;de Lacey et al, 1977;Boulis et al, 1978;de Lacey and Bradbrooke, 1979b). Finally, some authors have suggested that radiologists need not report all 306 examinations (Aberdour, 1976;Gompels, 1976;Bull, 1976;Emrys-Roberts, 1975).…”

A prospective study of the accuracy of interpretation of radiographs by casualty officers and radiologists is presented. The casualty officers readings were correct in 83% of cases, and the radiologists' in 95%. There was agreement of interpretation in 83% of the examinations. This study indicates that there are clinical and economic benefits when the radiologist's report is available before the patient leaves the hospital. Delayed reporting of films is considered to be less satisfactory but is still of value as it increases the detection of clinically significant abnormalities and also clarifies most of the 10% of studies about which the casualty officer is uncertain. Where a delayed reporting system is practised, a25% reduction in radiologist's workload would be achieved by reporting only those films considered by the casualty officer to be "normal" or "uncertain". Attempts to reduce workload still further by not reporting any films will increase the number of patients poorly managed in casualty.

The application of microsurgical techniques for the removal of acoustic neuromas has evidenced greatly improved postoperative results. Therefore the early detection of an acoustic neuroma is a special need for every neurologist. The development of new electrophysiological and radiological procedures now allows a far better approach in the diagnosis of acoustic neuromas. Brain stem auditory evoked potentials as well as acoustic reflex testing have shown to be rather sensitive tools in the diagnosis of retrocochlear pathology. Other electrophysiological procedures have been widely replaced by these techniques. Gasmeatocisternography in combination with cranial computed tomography is the method of choice in the detection of small acoustic neuromas. The current status in the application of different techniques for the diagnosis of acoustic neuromas is reviewed.

computerized tomography cisternography (CTC) provides a rapid, simple, and accurate radiographic modality of intrathecal enhancement for detecting and morphologically characterizing cerebellopontine (CP) angle masses. The technique is of especial value in masses < 1.5 cm that are not detected on intravenously enhanced computerized tomography. Metrizamide CTC was used in six patients with no CP angle mass and in four patients with acoustic neurilemomas.
