CT CISTERNOGRAPHY

Description

CT CISTERNOGRAPHY is a specialized imaging technique that focuses on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces in the brain. This procedure involves injecting a contrast agent into the spinal canal, which then mixes with the CSF. The subsequent CT scan provides detailed images of the CSF pathways, including the cisterns and subarachnoid spaces. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing CSF leaks, assessing the patency of CSF pathways, and identifying abnormalities in CSF circulation. This test is often employed when standard CT or MRI scans are inconclusive in cases of suspected CSF disorders.
