This paper describes the design of a microwave stripline applicator for hyperthermic treatment, and the design of an anatomically based biological model, which is a necessary part of hyperthermia treatment planning for measuring the distribution of SAR. In this paper we compare the SAR distribution in a cylindrical homogeneous agar phantom (which has similar characteristics to biological tissue) and in an anatomically based biological model of the femur (which has been developed from a computer tomography scan) using a matrix of two applicators of the same type.

The gallbladder volvulus is a rare condition. There have been around 500 cases described worldwide. It is virtually impossible to diagnose it clinically as symptoms are analogous to those of acute cholecystitis. Small proportion of gallbladder volvulus cases get accurately diagnosed preoperatively according to available literature. The imaging such as computer tomography plays a crucial role in diagnosing this condition. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered to be a gold standard treatment for this condition. In our report we present a case of gallbladder volvulus which was successfully diagnosed by means of computer tomography scan

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare genetic disorder, inherited autosomally recessively, which is characterized by intra-alveolar deposition of microliths built mostly of calcium salts and phosphorus. This case study describing management of patient with pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. A 49-year-old woman, diagnosed with pulmonary microlithiasis in 1979 was admitted to Pneumology Department due to increased dyspnea. On admission there were no clinical signs of active infection. The chest computer tomography scan confirmed the presence of advanced microlithiasis. Pulmonary function test revealed mild restriction with moderate diffusion impairment, due to severe hypoxemia present on 6-minute walking test patient was sent for specific assessment to local lung transplant team in Zabrze for consideration for lung transplantation. According to International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation guidelines the patient was observed in 6 months intervals to reveal whether further disease progression will be observed. Clinical condition of our patient does not correlate with radiological scans, severe respiratory symptoms and cardiological complications. Computer tomography scan should not be the only indication for lung transplant.
