Usefulness of Ventriculography by Injecting a Current Water-soluble Contrast Media through the CSF Shunt Reservoir : Trans-reservoiral Ventriculography

Filling patterns in contrast ventriculography.

The filling patterns of a negative contrast material (air), a positive contrast water soluble material (Conray), and a positive contrast water insoluble material (Myodil) were examined in 60 normal ventriculograms. Using a scoring system developed for this study, Conray was found effective for outlining the ipsilateral (injected) lateral ventricle, the third ventricle, the aqueduct of Sylvius, ...

Positive contrast cerebral ventriculography using water-soluble media. Clinical evaluation of 102 procedures using methyglucamine iothalamate 60 per cent.

MR ventriculography for the study of CSF flow.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Various MR techniques have been used to assess CSF flow and to image the subarachnoid spaces and ventricles. Anecdotal reports describe the use of intrathecal and intraventricular gadolinium-based contrast agents in humans and animals. We sought to determine the clinical usefulness of gadolinium-enhanced MR ventriculography for assessing CSF flow in patients with various ...

What is the contrast-filled structure seen during right ventriculography?

Cardiac Ventriculography

Cardiac ventriculography is used to define the anatomy and function of the ventricles and related structures in patients with congenital, valvular, coronary, and myopathic heart disease (1–5). Specifically, left ventriculography may provide valuable information about global and segmental left ventricular function, mitral valvular incompetence, and the presence, location, and severity of a numbe...
