    Attenuation values of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1978)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 15 (1978), S. 165-166 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Computed tomography ; Cerebrospinal fluid ; Attenuation value
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The attenuation value of CSF, obtained by lumbar puncture, was determined with computed tomography in 25 patients. Measurement of the protein content in the same samples showed no correlation with the attenuation value. It is concluded that in the normal range of protein concentrations, the effect on the attenuation is insignificant and that the attenuation value of the CSF might be used to check large deviations in the CT numbers due to artifacts.

    Attenuation changes of the ventricular CSF after intravenous injection of contrast material (1978)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 15 (1978), S. 167-170 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Computed tomography, brain ; Contrast material ; Cerebrospinal fluid ; Cerebral ventricles

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The CT attenuation change of the intraventricular CSF after i. v. administration of contrast material has been studied in 20 patients. A very small increase of attenuation was observed in the entire material. The method does not seem to be appropriate at present for the study of small attenuation changes in the CSF reflecting the passage of contrast material.

    Attenuation profiles of the petrous bone with acoustic neuroma (1980)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 19 (1980), S. 123-129 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Computed tomography ; Acoustic neuroma ; Internal auditory meatus ; Attenuation profiles
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Attenuation profiles across the petrous bone covering the whole internal auditory meatus (IAM) were constructed from the printouts obtained by computed tomography (CT) with narrow collimation performed on 12 patients with 13 acoustic neuromas. In healthy patients the attenuation profiles of right and left petrous bone were very similar in shape. The attenuation values of the individual pixels in the pixel columns of the printout located at the site of the porus and the IAM reflected the demineralization of the petrous bone and the widening of the porus and the IAM caused by the acoustic neuroma. A widening deep in the meatus was demonstrated in a patient with an intracanalicular tumor, and therefore it seems possible to make this diagnosis by CT scanning combined with the construction of attenuation profiles across the petrous bone. In the presence of unilateral acoustic neuroma there was a significant and characteristic difference in shape between the attenuation profiles of the two sides with generally lower attenuation values on the tumor side together with signs of widening of the porus and the IAM. In cases of bilateral acoustic neuroma comparison of the attenuation profiles can be made with mean attenuation curves obtained from scanning normal petrous bones. The prevailing physical limitations for demonstrating a narrow bony canal like the IAM with CT was experimentally analyzed using bone-simulating plastic material.
