A cisternogram scan is a diagnostic test to evaluate how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows around your brain or spine. You might need the test if your healthcare provider suspects you have a …

MRI cisternography is a specialized imaging technique used to visualize cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways and spaces within the brain and spinal cord. It is particularly valuable in diagnosing conditions like CSF rhinorrhea, where there is a leak of …

2024年4月9日 · MR cisternography is an MR imaging technique useful in evaluating abnormalities in subarachnoid cisterns 1,2. It is the intracranial equivalent to MR myelography and can similarly be non-contrast-enhanced or, less commonly, contrast-enhanced (off-label).

2024年11月23日 · MR cisternography is similar to CT cisternography, using a small amount of intrathecal gadolinium and allowing it to diffuse throughout the CSF. High resolution 3D fat saturated T1 weighted sequences can then identify high signal intensity CSF pooling within the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately detects CSF leaks and associated complications such as the encephaloceles and meningoceles. In this review, we emphasize the importance and usefulness of 3D T2 DRIVE MR cisternography in localizing CSF leaks.

2017年5月14日 · Magnetic resonance imaging is useful to identify or confirm associated or causative herniated brain and meninges. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea or otorrhea suggests that the subarachnoid space communicates …

2023年5月10日 · Radionuclide cisternography may be useful to detect an intermittently active CSF fistula. Cisternography with an intrathecal injection of radioisotope or nonionic iodinated myelographic...

MR cisternography, a fast spin-echo heavily weighted T2 sequence with fat suppression, provides detailed anatomic information of the subarachnoid cisterns, their contents, and adja cent structures by virtue of its ability to increase the signal intensity of …

The MR cisternography technique is a new examination method with a higher sensitivity for the detection of CSF fistulae than CT cisternography. The CISS technique is superior compared with PSIF and should be used in patients with high-flow CSF fistulas.

Noninvasive methods include high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and MR cisternography. Invasive methods include radionuclide cisternography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) cisternography (CTC) and gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography.
