A comparison of conventional contrast ventriculography and digital subtraction ventriculography

Quantitative assessment of global and regional left ventricular function with low-contrast dose digital subtraction ventriculography.

Few studies have compared the use of low-contrast dose digital subtraction ventriculography with conventional ventriculography for quantitative assessment of both global and regional left ventricular function. Accordingly, 34 patients underwent conventional ventriculography using 36 ml of ionic contrast material and digital ventriculography (mask-mode) using 10 ml of contrast diluted in 10 ml o...

Filling patterns in contrast ventriculography.

The filling patterns of a negative contrast material (air), a positive contrast water soluble material (Conray), and a positive contrast water insoluble material (Myodil) were examined in 60 normal ventriculograms. Using a scoring system developed for this study, Conray was found effective for outlining the ipsilateral (injected) lateral ventricle, the third ventricle, the aqueduct of Sylvius, ...

Cardiac Ventriculography

Cardiac ventriculography is used to define the anatomy and function of the ventricles and related structures in patients with congenital, valvular, coronary, and myopathic heart disease (1–5). Specifically, left ventriculography may provide valuable information about global and segmental left ventricular function, mitral valvular incompetence, and the presence, location, and severity of a numbe...

What is the contrast-filled structure seen during right ventriculography?

Surgical Aspects of Ventriculography *

I IROIPOSE to deal with the surgical aspects of ventriculography, anid at the beginning I want to emphasize two principles whichi are fundamental first, the necessit-for a clinical diagnosis before ventriculography is attempted; second, the necessity of being prepared to perform at a momenit's notice any intracranial operation after ventriculographyl has been done. Ihe first principle ma) appea...
