162. Three dimensional mapping of postcentral gyrus using helical dynamic CT

Dynamic evaluation of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery using radiopaque meshes and three-dimensional helical CT.

PURPOSE This prospective study was performed to achieve visualization of the reestablishment of anatomy after reconstructive surgery in the different pelvic compartments with non-absorbable radiopaque meshes, providing valuable anatomic information for surgeons implanting meshes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), anterior and posterior...

Three-dimensional helical CT angiography of skull base meningiomas.

PURPOSE To describe the findings of skull base meningiomas on three-dimensional CT angiograms obtained with helical scanning and to evaluate the usefulness of this method. METHODS Fifteen patients who had a meningioma near the skull base were examined with helical CT after receiving an intravenous bolus injection of contrast material. RESULTS All meningiomas had either a honeycomb (12 patie...

Overlooked blunt bronchial rupture detected by three-dimensional helical-CT.

A 34-year-old man was referred to for persistent dyspnea 6 months after a blunt chest trauma with subcutaneous emphysema and bilateral pneu-mothoraces, however, without initial bronchoscopy. The three-dimensional CT reconstruction revealed a stenosis of the intermedius bronchus, confirmed by bronchoscopy and successfully treated by bronchial sleeve resection (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. The arrow shows th...
