Detection and quantitation of intermittent CSF rhinorrhea during prolonged cisternography with 111In-DTPA.
In an attempt to improve the diagnosis and to assess the intensity of intermittent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, indium-111 uptake by nasal pledgets during prolonged cisternography using 111In-DTPA was determined. In 12 patients having suspected cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, cisternograms with calculation of counts/pixel in regions of interest were obtained, blood samples drawn, and nasal p...
متن کامل111In-DTPA Cisternography with SPECT/CT for the Evaluation of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Although new MR imaging techniques can provide highresolution information on CSF dynamics and are not associated with ionizing radiation, SPECT/CT cisternography is a valuable alternative for those with contraindications to MR imaging. SPECT/CT cisternography combines functional and anatomic imaging to provide accurate and detailed information on CSF distribution to be used in conjunction with ...
متن کاملClinical experience with iopamidol for myelography.
Within 20 months 145 ascending thoracocervical myelographies and 155 lumbar myelographies with the nonionic water-soluble contrast medium iopamidol were performed. The iodine concentration given was 250 mg I/ml or 200 mg I/ml respectively. The total iodine never exceeded 2.5 g (8-10 ml). Image quality was assessed in terms of diagnostic value having experience of more than 1,000 myelographies u...
متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy and In111-DTPA cisternography.
Three cases of progressive supranuclear palsy are reported in which In111-DTPA cisternography showed slow diffusion, ventricular reflux and failure of isotope clearance. The clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy was confirmed histologically in two of these patients. The possible causes of the cisternographic changes and their relationship to the changes of CSF dynamics in progres...
متن کاملClinical study of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics using 111In-DTPA SPECT in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The ventricle-to-background ratio and clearance rate constant measured by indium-111 diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid single photon emission computed tomography ((111)In-DTPA SPECT) were evaluated for predicting hydrocephalus in 16 patients at 2 to 3 weeks after onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The activity in the lateral ventricles, basal cistern, and hemispheric convexities was measured a...
