Cerebral angioautotomography

Angiotomography of intacranial aneurysms. Analysis by a new method of angioautotomography

The authors have developed a new method of angioautotomography by the use of a special head-swing apparatus. They have studied 70 intracranial aneurysms by this method and have found that it was more useful in clearly detecting the stalk of aneurysms than conventional angiography. The authors conclude that the method is also superior to conventional magnification angiography. Magnification angiotomography performed by this method offers more precise details.

Myelotomography in the diagnosis of lumbo-sacral disc prolapse

Myelotomography is of considerable help in the preoperative diagnosis of lumbo-sacral intervertebral disc prolapses. Contrast views and new water-soluble media make the technique very useful. On the basis of 550 myelographies, indications for myelotomography are discussed. The examination should be performed in patients with clear clinical symptoms of intervertebral disc prolapse but negative routine myelograms. The introduction of myelotomography has reduced the incidence of false negative preoperative radiological investigations.

Total brain opacification in children during angiography

Total brain opacification is an angiographic method of neuroradiological examination in children which will often make examination with air unnecessary. The substance of the brain becomes temporarily opaque while the ventricles and avascular masses are radiolucent. The examinations in 6 children are presented to illustrate the method and to emphasize its value.
