Angiographic computed tomography with selective microcatheterization in delineating surgical anatomy in the case of a dural arteriovenous fistula. Technical note.

30 Oct 2009 Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are commonly encountered in centers specializing in cerebrovascular diseases. Knowing the precise site of fistulous communication with the venous structures is essential in targeting the appropriate ... Read more...

Alternative applications of guided surgery: precise outlining of the lateral window in antral sinus bone grafting.

30 Oct 2009 Computed tomography (CT) and the application of CT-based guided implant surgery allow clinicians to provide enhanced precision and accuracy in implant surgery. Because of the difficulty in transferring a patient's often complex anatomic sinus ... Read more...

Prevention of atelectasis in morbidly obese patients during general anesthesia and paralysis: a computerized tomography study.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Morbidly obese patients show impaired pulmonary function during anesthesia and paralysis, partly due to formation of atelectasis. This study analyzed the effect of general anesthesia and three different ventilatory strategies to reduce ... Read more...
