- Safety and Technical Performance of Bilateral Decubitus CT Myelography Using Standard versus Increased Intrathecal Iodinated Contrast Volume
In this retrospective study, the authors assessed the tolerability and technical performance of increased intrathecal doses (20 mL) of myelographic contrast compared with standard doses (10 mL). They found that the increased volume of intrathecal contrast was well-tolerated and improved the technical performance of LDCTM.
- Assessment of Attenuation in Pericarotid Fat among Patients with Carotid Plaque and Spontaneous Carotid Dissection
This cross-sectional retrospective study assessed the PFD in patients with spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection or carotid atherosclerotic plaque, with and without IPH. The results showed that the average PFDs in patients with SICAD and carotid atherosclerosis plaque with IPH were similar and higher than those in patients with carotid plaque without IPH, suggesting a shared pathologic inflammatory mechanism in these 2 conditions.
