Early Quantification of Hematoma Hounsfield Units on Noncontrast CT in Acute Intraventricular Hemorrhage Predicts Ventricular Clearance after Intraventricular Thrombolysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thrombolytic efficacy of intraventricular rtPA for acute intraventricular hemorrhage may depend on hematoma composition. We assessed whether hematoma Hounsfield unit quantification informs intraventricular hemorrhage clearance after intraventricular rtPA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial NCCT was performed on 52 patients who received intraventricular rtPA as part of the Clo...
متن کاملAcute subarachnoid hemorrhage: in vitro comparison of magnetic resonance and computed tomography.
The computed tomographic (CT) attenuation values and magnetic resonance (MR) signal intensities of simulated acute subarachnoid hemorrhage were compared systematically. In vitro MR and CT measurements (T1, T2, and Hounsfield units) were made of mixtures of normal human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and normal heparinized blood, ranging from 0% to 100% by volume. The mixtures were measured in a plex...
متن کاملگزارش یک مورد تشخیص زود هنگام مالفورماسیون شریانی وریدی براساس یافتههای سونوگرافی داپلر ترانس کرانیال و تطابق آن با ام-آر آنژیوگرافی
Received: 8 Oct, 2008 Accepted: 11 Feb, 2009 Abstract Arteriovenous Malformation( AVM ) is one of the most common etiologies of subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the past, conventional angiography was the only way for the diagnosis of AVM but nowadays, using noninvasive devices such as MRA and recently TCD, the diagnosis of AVM is revaluated. This patient is a 19 year old man who was admitte...
متن کاملPseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage: a potential imaging pitfall associated with diffuse cerebral edema.
We report CT findings in seven patients with diffuse cerebral edema and increased attenuation in the basilar cisterns resembling subarachnoid hemorrhage. On the basis of autopsy (three cases) and lumbar puncture (four cases) findings, true subarachnoid hemorrhage was reasonably excluded. Pathophysiologic changes that occur with diffuse cerebral edema are explored, with proposed explanations for...
متن کاملSubarachnoid Hemorrhage Mimicking Leakage of Contrast Media After Coronary Angiography
We report a patient who developed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) just after coronary angiography (CAG) with non-ionic contrast media (CM) and minimal dose of heparin. The 55-year-old man had a history of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction that had been treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and was admitted for a follow-up CAG. The CAG was performed by the transradial appr...
