[INTRODUCTION - After the discovery of X-ray it was not only used for medical purposes, but also to study the internal structure of various objects. The X-ray examination can be applied not only to examine paintings, but other works of art. METHODS AND RESULTS - The rontgenograms are made by industrial film without any screen in the museum. In case of paintings soft-beam examination technique was used. The basic principle of the X-ray examination of different paintings is based on the presence of different atomic number in different paints. Authors after the examination of four paintings achieved a significant finding. In these paintings the stylistic and structural features of the pictures, injuries, originality, changes in the composition during the work of the artist can be studied. CONCLUSIONS - Recordings made by an industrial radiological equipment in the Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest) are helpful in the restorer work.]

[BACKGROUND - In contradiction to traditional osteographic registrations CT pictures give the possibility of precise and size proportional measurements. Three-dimensional reconstructions can help in imaging of stereoscopic structures, however later reediting is not possible. Authors elaborated a CT based system for planning surgical interventions with personal computer. MATERIALS AND METHODS - The new method is described using a forefoot surgery model. The measurements were based on three subcapital osteotomy of 1st metatarsus. The length of 1st metatarsus, the 1st-2nd metatarsus index, the 1st-2nd intermetatarsal angle, and dorsoplantar movement of 1st-2nd metatarsal head were determined. RESULTS - The postoperative result of correction and pathologic bone movement can also precisely determined by this method. CONCLUSION - This method seems to be practical for elaboration of other new operating techniques, predicting and verifying their results before clinical use.]
