CT Head – What Slice Thickness Do You Use?
Until recently we have been scanning routine CT heads using a sequential technique with 5 mm slices through the posterior fossa and 10 mm slices of the supratentorial compartment. With a change of machines the protocols were revamped and we
Radiation Dose in Neuroradiology: New Special Collection and Podcast
By now most Neuroradiologists are aware of the US Food and Drug Administration notification regarding dangerous levels of radiation exposure produced in one facility while performing CT perfusion. This unfortunate event has been front page material for the media, leading
The Microcirculation in the “Target Node“ as Outcome Prognosticator: Facts and Implications
In the recent paper of Kim et al. [1], the authors attempt for first time to examine the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained by dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI, of a metastatic target node and treatment outcome in patients with neck cancer.
Brachial Plexus MRI Protocol
BP MRI Protocol Fall is upon us and so is the lecturing season! Like years before, this Fall I will be giving my brachial plexus lecture several times and the most commonly asked question by the audience is: “where can
CT Cisternogram
I would like to know how much intrathecal contrast to inject for a CT cisternogram via a lumbar puncture approach. I am not sure.
Neuro Protocols
Alisa Gean is doing a great job getting a group together to share and collaborate neuro protocols. This would be a great place from members to share protocols, and open a discussion about the best imaging techniques. University of Utah
