Percutaneous Computed Tomography-Guided Spinal Destructive Procedures for Pain Control
The techniques and results of the main percutaneous procedures performed using image guidance with computerized tomography, including cordotomy, trigeminal tractotomy-nucleotomy, and extralemniscal myelotomy, are presented. The advantages of image guidance for anatomical orientation during the procedures and the newly designed radiofrequency needle-electrode systems are stressed.
متن کاملComputed tomography-guided percutaneous transpedicular biopsy of the thoracic spine.
BACKGROUND Despite the recent, widespread use around the world of computed tomography (CT)-guided spinal biopsy for presurgical evaluation, its use has remained uncommon in Taiwan. Using 9 patients, we attempted to evaluate the safety of its use for the thoracic spine biopsy. METHODS In the past 3 years (May 1996 to May 1999), 9 patients with known thoracic or multiple spinal lesions underwen...
متن کاملUser-guided Segmentation of Thoracic Computed Tomography Data for Electrical Impedance Tomography Image Reconstruction
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a promising technique to visualize lung function, but it suffers from inaccurate thorax models. To easily generate such models in the presence of severe lung damage, we propose an interactive segmentation workflow that utilizes expert knowledge. Body shape, lung, ribs, heart and pathological lung tissue are segmented from CT scans to allow multimaterial ...
متن کاملComputed Tomography-guided Time-domain Diffuse Fluorescence Tomography in Small Animals for Localization of Cancer Biomarkers
Small animal fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI) can be a powerful tool for preclinical drug discovery and development studies. However, light absorption by tissue chromophores (e.g., hemoglobin, water, lipids, melanin) typically limits optical signal propagation through thicknesses larger than a few millimeters. Compared to other visible wavelengths, tissue absorption for red and near-infrare...
متن کاملLocal Diagnostic Reference Levels for Common Computed Tomography Procedures at a Tertiary Hospital in South Africa
Introduction: An operational computed tomography (CT) scanner is a major source of human exposure to ionizing radiation. Exposure increases the risk of cancer and aplastic anaemia. All radiation exposures should be justified and optimized to meet the clinical objective. In order to avoid the administration of excessive radiation dose to patients, diagnostic reference l...
