title: [Experience of air-CT cisternography].
abstract: Ten patients were examined with air-CT cisternography. Two acoustic neurinomas protruding into the cistern were visualized as filling defects in the air. Air-CT cisternography identified the 2 tumors with a sensitivity rate of 100%. This retrospective study is aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of Air-CT in relation to MRI, enhanced CT and other radiographic studies.
