CT angiography in the examination of patients with aneurysm clips.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of CT angiography is described in three patients for the evaluation of intracranial clips after surgery for an aneurysm. A postprocessing technique is described in which shaded-surface-display models were superimposed on maximum intensity projection CT angiograms. CT angiograms showed residual aneurysmal filling adjacent to a clip, patency of a vessel thought to be compromised by recent clip placement, and errant position of a clip, which required repeat surgery.

متن کاملReduction of aneurysm clip artifacts on CT angiograms: a technical note.
We describe a head tilt technique for use with CT angiography that reduces beam-hardening artifacts in patients with aneurysm clips. This simple maneuver directs the artifacts away from pertinent anatomy, thus increasing the chances for diagnostic accuracy. No significant changes in the CT angiographic protocol are required, and the maneuver can easily be combined with other artifact-minimizing...
متن کاملSubtraction 3D CT angiography with the orbital synchronized helical scan technique for the evaluation of postoperative cerebral aneurysms treated with cobalt-alloy clips.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT angiography (CTA) has been used for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms and recently has been applied to assess postoperative aneurysms treated with titanium-alloy clips. We investigated the clinical usefulness of subtraction CTA by using the orbital synchronized helical scan technique (OSHST) for evaluating intracranial aneurysms surgically treated with cobalt-al...

Computed tomographic (CT) angiography is a well-known tool for detection of intracranial aneurysms and the planning of therapeutic intervention. Despite a wealth of existing studies and an increase in image quality due to use of multisection CT and increasingly sophisticated postprocessing tools such as direct volume rendering, CT angiography has still not replaced digital subtraction angiograp...
