Three-dimensional rotational myelography.

چکیده
Three-dimensional (3D) rotational radiography, initially developed to visualize intracranial aneurysms, is applied to the cervical spine after conventional myelography. We call this process 3D rotational myelography. 3D reconstruction and then postprocessing allows imaging in multiple planes. Spinal or nerve root sheath alterations caused by bony or soft tissue can be visualized and differentiated by using this technique.

Three-dimensional MR myelography of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus.
PURPOSE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional MR myelography in the evaluation of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus. METHODS Twenty patients with clinical and electromyographic evidence of traumatic brachial plexopathy were examined with three-dimensional MR myelography, conventional cervical myelography, and CT myelography 1 to 9 months after trauma. Three-dimensi...
متن کاملIntraoperative Myelography in Cervical Multilevel Stenosis Using 3D Rotational Fluoroscopy: Assessment of Feasibility and Image Quality
Background. Intraoperative myelography has been reported for decompression control in multilevel lumbar disease. Cervical myelography is technically more challenging. Modern 3D fluoroscopy may provide a new opportunity supplying multiplanar images. This study was performed to determine the feasibility and image quality of intraoperative cervical myelography using a 3D fluoroscope. Methods. The ...
متن کاملDigital rotational radiography in neuroradiology.
Different angiographic techniques (e.g., multiple oblique views, angiotomography, and magnification angiography) have been proposed to improve the diagnosis of cerebral vascular malformations and occlusive diseases. However, these methods are either time-consuming or necessitate repeated injections of contrast medium. The common goals of all these techniques are (1) to achieve a documentation o...
متن کاملA comparison of angiographic CT and multisection CT in lumbar myelographic imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to provide an intraindividual comparison of angiographic CT (ACT) and multisection CT (MSCT) in lumbar myelographic imaging and to evaluate possible benefits of ACT, which is a further development of rotational angiography providing image data of high spatial and CT-like contrast resolution. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 26 patients with degenera...
متن کاملThe role of three-dimensional fast spin-echo magnetic resonance myelography in the detection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
The majority of cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) result from spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. The disorder has a broad clinical and imaging spectrum, with substantial variability in clinical and imaging features, in CSF findings, and in response to treatment. Headache is the most common symptom, and is typically orthostatic, but with chronicity the orthostatic fea...
