A 57 years old woman was admitted for the investigation of anginal chest pain. Her coronary angiography didn't show any typical finding seen in the aortitis syndrome, but coronary sclerosis and stenosis seen in the usual atherosclerotic patients. The cerebral angiography was performed, too. The right vertebral artery, which was tortuous and dilated, was seen, but the other three cerebral vessels were not seen. These rare findings were reported in this report. We added the discussion about the relation between the aortitis syndrome and angina pectoris.

Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts (IPVS) are rare, except for the minute ones observed in cirrhotic liver. This report concerns a case with frequent episodes of consciousness loss, diagnosed as IPVS and multiple hemangioma-like lesions of the liver by US, CT and angiography. To our knowledge, this is the first report of association of IPVS and such angiographically evident hemangioma-like lesions of the liver. The etiology of IPVS is mostly considered to be congenital though, there are still many arguments about it. The relation between IPVS and the hemangioma-like lesions of the liver is discussed.

The efficacy of ultrasonography was evaluated in radiotherapy for 32 patients with 82 metastatic bone tumor regions. Except for vertebral columns, ultrasonography was useful to detect metastatic bone tumors. Ultrasonography was applied to the radiotherapy planning in 21 regions, and was useful for the evaluation of radiotherapy effects in 22 regions. An appearance of "anechoic band" was useful for estimating tumor localization, and may be useful for the determination of the adequate dosage for palliative irradiation. Ultrasonography enable accurate localization of tumors such as sternal or costal metastases that are difficult by fluoroscopy. This means should be executed by radiotherapists.
