We describe a novel patient-positioning device for dynamic CT myelography. Dynamic CT
myelography requires angling the patient's spine to distribute dense contrast along the …

Materials and Methods The device (Fig. 2) is composed of padded wrist straps and lengths
of flexible automotive webbing joined by a quick-release buckle that allows rapid adjustment …

Dynamic sequential computed tomographic scanning with automatic table incrementation
uses low milliampere-second technique to eliminate tube cooling delays between scanning …

We evaluated the feasibility of angiographic computed tomography (ACT) for diagnostic
imaging in a patient with degenerative lumbar spine disease. ACT provides a volume data …

Despite the widespread availability of MR imaging, CT remains a vital modality for the
evaluation of disorders of the spine, offering superior assessment of bone abnormalities, as …

This paper presented the results of CT myelography with a low concentration and/or low
dose of nonionic contrast water-solvable medium was used for 170 patients. The results had …

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 …

To determine whether the motion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the lumbar spine degrades
T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images, a spine phantom, three healthy volunteers …

Materials and Methods The mechanism used to maintain traction in the MR environment
consists of an aluminum frame supported at its base by two posts that rest on the floor and …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) fast imaging with steady state precession sequence
structured to maintain constant phase at the radiofrequency pulse, in the presence of motion …
