Contrast-enhanced cranial computed tomography in magnetic resonance imaging era.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of intravenous contrast administration in cranial computed tomography (CT) in a general hospital with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facility, and to establish a protocol to determine which patients would benefit most from using contrast-enhanced cranial CT. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five hundred and forty-seven patients who underwent routine nonenhanced CT...
متن کاملCranial Computed Tomographic Abnormalities
Sixty-four (57.6%) of 111 cancer patients with cerebrospinal fluid cytology positive for malignant cells had cranial computed tomographic (CT) scans within 2 weeks before or after a lumbar puncture. Twenty-two (34.3%) of the 64 had abnormal CT findings indicative of leptomeningeal metastasis: (1) sulcal-cisternal enhancement, (2) ependymal-subependymal enhancement, (3) widened irregular tentori...
متن کاملCranial computed tomography in infants and children.
Cranial computed tomography has been performed in adults for the past 2 years but relatively few children have undergone this procedure. The specific uses in children are in detecting intracranial mass lesions and identifying the character of the lesion, and evaluating congenital cranial diseases such as cerebral dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophies. This safe, rapid, noninvasive ...
متن کاملRepeated cranial computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans in two cases of eclampsia.
In two cases of eclampsia with consumptive thrombocytopenia, the maximum increase in blood pressure and the lowest platelet count coincided with the maximum degree of neurologic and neuroradiologic abnormality. Computed tomograms showed decreased attenuation, and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showed increased signal intensity focally in the cerebral cortex and the deep gray and white ma...
متن کاملSpontaneous hemorrhage during cranial computed tomography.
Computed tomographic (CT) scann ing is very accurate in the recog nition of intracerebral hemorrhage. However, when radiographic contrast material has been administered, there may be confus ion between an unsuspected hematoma and an enhancing brain lesion . We recently encountered two cases of spontaneous hemorrhage occurring during the enhancement phase of the CT examination immediately after ...
