Percutaneous Glycerol Rhizotomy for Trigeminal Neuralgia Using a Single-Plane, Flat Panel Detector Angiography System: Technical Note

Percutaneous treatments for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) including glycerol rhizotomy (GR), radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RT), and balloon compression (BC) are effective for patients with medical comorbidities and risk factors of microvascular decompression (MVD). These procedures are usually performed under fluoroscopy. Surgeons advance the needle to the trigeminal plexus through the foramen ...

High-energy and thermal-neutron imaging and modeling with an amorphous silicon flat-panel detector.

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) operates two spallation neutron sources dedicated to research in materials science, condensed-matter physics, and fundamental and applied nuclear physics. Prior to 1995, all thermal neutron radiography at Los Alamos was done on a beam port attached to the Omega West reactor, a small 8MW research reactor used primarily for radioisotope production an...

[Pulmonary functional diagnostic imaging using a dynamic flat-panel detector: comparison with findings in pulmonary scintigraphy].

Pulmonary ventilation and circulation dynamics are reflected on dynamic chest radiographs as changes in X-ray translucency,i.e., pixel values. The present study was performed to develop a pulmonary functional evaluation method based on the changes in pixel value, and to investigate the clinical usefulness of our method. Sequential chest radiographs of 20 subjects (abnormal,n=12; normal,n=8) dur...

Three-dimensional imaging and cone beam volume CT in C-arm angiography with flat panel detector.

We evaluated a new 3D angiography system with a flat panel detector (FPD) for its capabilitiy to acquire volume sets during a single rotation scan and to reconstruct high spatial resolution three-dimensional and cross sectional images, namely cone beam volume computed tomography (CBVCT) images. Present status of the technique, advantages and potential applications are discussed.
