Vargha Gyula: Pharmacoangiography in the diagnosis of tumours (Budapest, 1981)

AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ BUDAPEST PHnRmniOnnCIOGRflPHV in THE DIRGnOSIS by GY.VARGHA OF TUITIOURS In this book the pharmacoangiography of 1,005 animal experiments as well as 462 control angiographies are de­scribed. In the majority of cases the kidney, bones, joints, stomach and soft tissues were studied in rabbits and non­­tumourous dogs after giving vasoconstrictors or vasodila­tors. In each chapter first the animal experiments are dis­cussed followed by an analysis of the human pharmacoan­giography. In the chapters on bone and joint tumours intraosseous angiography and microangiography and in the one dealing with the kidney the renal blood flow measure­ments (also under drug effect) are assessed. The volume is of special value in the literature as the au­thor analyzes more than 1,000experiments pointing out the pharmacoangiographic possibilities in detecting the hyper­­and hypovascularized renal carcinoma as well as the bone, joint and soft-tissue tumours. The various experimen­tally induced tumours are excellently illustrated with co­lour photos while computertomograms introduce the new techniqe of x-ray examination.
