Abstract
Forty-two consecutive skeletal scintigrams of the dorsal and lumbar spine have been statistically analysed using an Elliott 4120 Computer. Each patient had, in addition, anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the dorsal and lumbar spine taken. All the patients have been followed up for a minimum of 18 months. In each patient the radiological, scintigraphic, and statistically analysed data have been compared and the accuracy of the results determined by the subsequent progress made by the patient. The results indicate that the computer analysis introduced both false positives and false negatives, and it is suggested that, at the moment, the computerassisted statistical analysis of the skeletal scintigram is not sufficiently reliable for clinical use.

If T, = T,, all iso-free-mobility lines become identical and exhibit a straight diagonal line having a slope of -1 which at the same time represents the iso-size line (see above). Practically, 0 < T , < T , and iso-free-mobili
Characterization of neuronal cell growth provides key information about the development of neural pathways during embryogenesis as well as their regeneration following postnatal nerve injury. However, very active cell types like growing neurons are difficult to track in detail because their motion i
A computer-assisted method of conformational analysis for porphyrin molecules bearing tlexiile side-chains has been developed. The method utilizes the ring current-induced chemical shift changes of the side-chain protons which arise from the porphyrin mauocyde and any attached aryl rings. The treatm
