Subtraction 3D CT Angiography with the Orbital Synchronized Helical Scan Technique for the Evaluation of Postoperative Cerebral Aneurysms Treated with Cobalt-Alloy Clips

摘要

CT angiography (CTA) has been used for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms and recently has been applied to assess postoperative aneurysms treated with titanium-alloy clips. We investigated the clinical usefulness of subtraction CTA by using the orbital synchronized helical scan technique (OSHST) for evaluating intracranial aneurysms surgically treated with cobalt-alloy clips.
