Local pulmonary ventilation using nonradioactive xenon-enhanced ultrafast computed tomography.
Using ultrafast computed tomography, we have developed a technique for measuring local ventilation in a volume of 1 cm3 in the normal supine lung. The technique employs the inert gas xenon in its nonradioactive form and makes use of its radiopaque properties. The inhalation of xenon results in changes in density which can be detected and measured in Hounsfield units using ultrafast computed tom...
متن کاملContrast-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 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 کاملCranial computed tomography of malignant melanoma.
Two hundred seventy-five cranial computed tomography (CT) scans performed on 179 patients with malignant melanoma were reviewed. Of the 101 patients with confirmed cerebral metastases, CT demonstrated lesions in 93. In 72% of these, areas of increased attenuation were present in the precontrast scan. These lesions also enhanced after contrast infusion. There was a direct correlation between the...
