Radiation Risk Due to Shunted Hydrocephalus and the Role of MR Imaging–Safe Programmable Valves
Radiation Risk Due to Shunted Hydrocephalus and the Role of MR Imaging–Safe Programmable Valves Diagnostic radiology is a double-edged sword: While providing critical information that forms the basis of treatment, it adds to the risk associated with cumulative radiation given to the patient. Shunted hydrocephalus exemplifies this conundrum. Hydrocephalus is a common neurosurgical condition that...
متن کاملStrengthening the argument for rapid brain MR imaging: estimation of reduction in lifetime attributable risk of developing fatal cancer in children with shunted hydrocephalus by instituting a rapid brain MR imaging protocol in lieu of Head CT.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Children with shunted hydrocephalus have been undergoing surveillance neuroimaging, generally in the form of head CT, for evaluation of ventricular size. As the life expectancy of these children has improved due to better shunt technology and medical care, risks related to the ionizing radiation incurred during multiple head CT examinations that they are expected to under...
متن کاملComparison of failure between post- shunted ETV and primary ETV in hydrocephalus: a review article
Hydrocephalus is an abnormal increase in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and sometimes increased intracerebral pressure also leads to hydrocephalus. Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) treatment is a new method for hydrocephaly treatment. In this method, in addition to the fact that the patient does not need an implant, the risk of infection is low and in the long term the result is...
متن کاملProgrammable CSF shunt valves: radiographic identification and interpretation.
The programmable CSF shunt valve has become an important tool in hydrocephalus treatment, particularly in the NPH population and in pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study is to provide a single reference for the identification of programmable shunt valves and the interpretation of programmable shunt valve settings. Four major manufacturers of programmable shunt...
متن کامل[Corpus callosal signal changes in patient with obstructive hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal shunting].
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few reports have documented signal abnormalities within the corpus callosum on MR studies obtained after ventricular decompression in patients with hydrocephalus. Our purpose was to establish the frequency of this finding in shunted patients and attempt to elucidate its cause and clinical significance. METHODS All patients with hydrocephalus shunted between 1989 and 199...
