Carotid-cavernous fistulas: diagnosis with spiral CT angiography.
Four cases in which the diagnosis of carotid-cavernous fistula was made by using CT angiography are illustrated. The diagnosis was confirmed by digital subtraction angiography in all four instances. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the CT angiographic appearance of carotid-cavernous fistulas.
متن کاملSpiral CT angiography and selective digital subtraction angiography of internal carotid artery stenosis.
PURPOSE To determine whether spiral CT angiography allows accurate, quantitative evaluation of anatomic abnormalities, including detection of additional lesions, delineation of plaque morphology, and estimation of degree of internal carotid artery stenosis. METHODS Spiral CT angiography with a maximum intensity projection technique was compared with selective digital subtraction angiography (...
متن کاملNoninvasive Angiography for the Diagnosis of Carotid Artery Disease Using Doppler Ultrasound (Carotid Artery Doppler)
To detect stenosis in the carotid artery with a bidirectional continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound device, the following noninvasive procedure, applied on 800 patients and compared with 249 angiograms of 186 patients, has proved to be about 90% reliable. Measurements of flow signals were taken over the terminal branches of the ophthalmic artery (supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries) and avera...

متن کاملComparison of coronary CT angiography with conventional coronary angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Noninvasive CT coronary angiography is a promising coronary imaging technique. In spite of the unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution and the inability to perform therapeutic interventions in the same session multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has been considering a promising alternative, non invasive tool for coronary artery imaging due to its high sensitivity and specificity for...
