- Objective: to investigate the accuracy of MR imaging in the preoperative staging of patients with clinically resectable rectal tumours. Material and Methods: Forty-eight consecutive patients with rectal tumours were examined, 29 with a pelvic phased-array coil and 19 with a multi-coil arrangement including a pelvic phased-array coil and an endorectal coil. MR images and histopatho-logical specimens and sections were reviewed independently and tumours were staged according to the TNM classification. Results: A more complete visualisation of the various layers of the rectal wall was achieved on the endorectal MR images than on the pelvic phased-array images. the sensitivity of MR in correctly staging T3 tumours compared with histopathology was 81% with a specificity of 82%. Penetration of the rectal wall was predicted with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 87%. Sensitivity and specificity in predicting lymph node metastases was 83% and 74% respectively. Conclusion: MR imaging with both pelvic phased-array and endorectal coils allowed the preoperative staging of rectal tumours with a high degree of accuracy.

1ST OBSERVATION OF EXCITED-STATES IN SB-108
- 1995
-
In: Nuclear Physics A. - 0375-9474 .- 1873-1554. ; 581:1, s. 189-204
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A spectroscopic study of Sb-108 has been carried out as a part of a larger experiment where in total twenty-nine different residual nuclei were identified. This study gives the first information on excited levels in this nucleus. A low-lying two-quasi-particle multiplet together with some of the higher lying levels are discussed within the framework of the nuclear shell model. A rotational, strongly coupled, band is identified as, most likely, being built on the deformed pig9/2(-1) nuh11/2 configuration in accordance with total routhian surface calculations. Tentative spins and parities are presented as well as B(M1)/B(E2) ratios for some of the transitions in the strongly coupled band.

Maximum spin aligned states in Ag-98(47)51
- 1998

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- New excited states have been observed in the neutron deficient isotope Ag-98 following the Ni-58+Cr-50-->Te-108* heavy-ion reaction. One of these states may be interpreted as a maximum spin aligned state of the pi g(9/2)(-3) nu vg(7/2) configuration. Othe

Chemotherapy in Ewing's sarcoma. The Scandinavian Sarcoma Group experience
- 1999
-
In: Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica. Supplementum. - 0300-8827. ; 70:285, s. 69-73
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the past 15 years the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group has treated 140 patients with Ewing's sarcoma. Two protocols have been used. SSG IV included 52 patients between 1984 and 1990 and SSG IX, 88 patients since 1990. After 5 years of treatment, local recurrences occurred in 19% of the patients (M0 + M1) in the SSG IV group and 10% in the SSG IX group. Distant metastases developed in 57% of the M0-patients in the SSG IV group and in 33% in the SSG IX group. Tumor-related survival (overall) of M0-patients was 49% in SSG IV and 70% in SSG IX, and the metastasis-free survival rate 45% and 58%, respectively. Patients having a localized extremity tumor had a survival rate of 90% (SSG IX). In both treatment groups, good responders to chemotherapy had a better survival rate than poor ones (SSG IV, p < 0.02, GI-II vs. G II-IV and SSG IX, p < 0.003, GI-III vs. G IV). In conclusions local control and survival rates were better with SSG IX than SSG IV.

Cd-98(48)50 : The two-proton-hole spectrum in Sn-100(50)50
- 1997
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 79:13, s. 2415-2418
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states in Cd-98, two proton holes from Sn-100, were identified and studied for the first time, using in-beam spectroscopy with highly selective ancillary detectors. The structure of the (pi g(9/2))(-2) two-proton-hole spectrum below a T-1/2 = 0.48(16) mu s isomer is deduced and compared to shell-model predictions. A tentative I-pi = (8(+)) assignment, as suggested by systematics, yields a strongly reduced B(E2,8(+) --> 6(+)) = 0.44((+20)(-10)) W.u., corresponding to an effective proton charge of e(pi) = 0.85((+20)(-10))e, which is at variance with existing theoretical predictions.

Spectroscopy of the T-z=1 nuclei close to Sn-100
- 1997
-
In: Acta Physica Polonica B. - 0587-4254 .- 1509-5770. ; 28:1-2, s. 303-307
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The two nuclei Cd-98 and Sn-102, closest neighbours of Sn-100, have been studied with a recoil catcher setup, following the reactions: Ni-58(Ti-46, alpha 2n)Cd-98 and Ni-58(Cr-50, alpha 2n)Sn-102. Long lived isomeric states were measured in Cd-98 I-pi = (8+), t(1/2) = 0.48(8) mu s and in Sn-102 I-pi = (6(+)) with t(1/2) = 1.0(6) mu s. The proposed experimental level schemes of the isomeric decay are presented and compared to the shell model predictions.
