103. Clinical and Investigative Study on Intra-Cranial Selective Arteriography

Clinical Investigative Study

BACKGROUND The need of an early and noninvasive diagnosis of AD requires the development of imagingbased techniques. As an alternative, the magnetic resonance image (MRI) relaxation time constant (T1ρ) was measured in brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild-cognitive impairment (MCI), and age-matched controls in order to determine whether T1ρ values correlated with the neurological diagnosis. ...

Selective coronary arteriography.

The technique of selective coronary arteriography, as described originally by Sones, was employed in 255 patients. Successful catheterization of both coronary arteries was carried out in 88% of these patients, and in the last 100 examinations both coronary arteries were entered in 95 patients. Selective coronary arteriography is a useful diagnostic tool but is a potentially hazardous form of ex...

Concurrent intra - medullary and intra - cranial

Although tuberculosis of the central nervous system is well known, the incidence of intra-medullary tuberculomas is low and a combination of intra-medullary with intra-cranial tuberculomas is extremely rare. This communication reports a case of disseminated (intra-medullary, intra-cerebellar and intra-cerebral) tuberculomas in a sixyear-old girl initially presenting with a spinal tumour syndrom...

Selective coronary arteriography in infants and children.

The recent increase in incidence of Kawasaki disease with attendant coronary artery aneurysms spurred our interest in developing a technique for selective coronary arteriographic examination of infants and children. Right and left coronary artery catheters were shaped according to the aortic root diameters and ascending aorta lengths predicted from the patient's heights. Thirty-eight studies we...
