![]() | Kestle, John R. W. | Comparison between magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography for stereotactic coordinate determination | The spatial accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been established for stereotactic surgery. Magnetic susceptibility artifacts may lead to anatomical distortion and inaccurate stereotactic MRI coordinates, especially when targets are in regions of the brain out of the center of the ma... | Computed tomography; Stereotactic coordinates; Stereotactic surgery | 1992 |

![]() | Couldwell, William T. | Definition of the role of contemporary surgical management in cisternal and parenchymatous cysticercosis cerebri | With increasing immigration from endemic regions, the incidence of neurocysticercosis in North America is rising. This retrospective study was undertaken to examine the role of surgery in those cases presenting with large cystic parenchymal and cisternal lesions in the current era of anthelminthic a... | Brain cyst; Computed tomography; Neurocysticercosis; Magnetic resonance imaging; Praziquantel; Stereotaxis | 1991 |

![]() | Dailey, Andrew T. | Emergent aneurysm clipping without angiography in the moribund patient with intracerebral hemorrhage: the use of infusion computed tomography scans | THE AUTHORS REPORT their experience with 25 patients (mean age, 44.3 ± 12.1 years) with an intracerebral hematoma (ICH) from a ruptured aneurysm who were emergently operated on without angiography. Instead, preoperative high-resolution infusion computed tomography (CT) scans were used to identify... | Ruptured aneurysms; Computed tomography; Infusion computed tomography; Aneurysm clipping | 1993 |

![]() | Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Evaluation of the necessity of postoperative imaging after craniosynostosis surgery | Object. Childhood radiation exposure increases the lifetime risk of cancer from an estimated 0.07 to 0.35%. Neurological evaluation of patients after cranial vault reconstruction for synostosis repair is often complicated by pain medication, sedation, intubation, swelling, and dressings; therefore c... | Computed tomography; Cranial vault reconstruction; Pediatric neurosurgery; Radiation dose; Postoperative imaging | 2007 |

![]() | Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S. | Inter- and intraobserver reliability of computed tomography in assessment of thoracic pedicle screw placement | Study Design. Reliability study of computed tomography imaging in 12 cadaver specimens instrumented with titanium or stainless steel thoracic pedicle screws. Objective. To evaluate inter- and intraobserver reliability of computed tomography scan in determining the accuracy of thoracic pedicle sc... | Thoracic pedicle screw; Placement; Assessment; Computed tomography | 2003 |
