Brit. J. Surg., 36/143. - Bristol: John Wright & Sons Ltd; London: Simpkin Marshall Ltd., 1949, 8°, (1), pp.240-256, Fig.347-366, orig. wrappers. Offprint! From the Departments of Surgery and Radiology, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxfordf. "We have used the term ' pyogram ' (literally, a picture or outline pertaining to pus) to describe the radiographs produced after instillation of thorotrast into cerebral abscesses. This method of radiographic control is widely used, and the credit for its introduction goes to Kahn (1939. 1942, 1943) although Freeman (1936) on the experience of one case discussed its possible advantages. Little has been written about the detailed appearances of thorotrast pyograms, although Cairns (1941), Northfield (1942), and Pennybacker (1945, 1948) point out the value of the method. In this paper we report on 56 cases of intracranial abscesses in which pyographic studies have been made (Table T). Our purpose is, first, to describe the appearances in some detail, and, secondly, to discuss the value of pyography." Tutton & Shepherd.
