[Application of spinal dynamic computed tomography in the diagnosis of spinal cord arteriovenous malformations].
Seventeen cases of spinal cord arteriovenous malformation (AVM) were evaluated by use of spinal dynamic computed tomography (CT). In the intravenous injection method, contrast medium was injected bolusly into the median cubital vein. In the intraarterial injection method, contrast medium was injected slowly into the feeding artery. In both methods, lesions were demonstrated in all cases. Three-dimensional localization of the lesions were more clearly demonstrated in the intraarterial injection method. Intravenous injection method was useful in the postoperative follow-up study due to its noninvasiveness.
