Autotomography with metrizamide myelography: an aid to visualisation of the cranio-cervical junction and cerebellar tonsils.
A simple method for improved visualisation of the structures at the foramen magnum and upper cervical spine during supine metrizamide myelography by using autotomography is described. Ten patients have been examined by this technique and the relevant structures have been clearly outlined in every case. It is concluded that the significance of side-effects with this technique is not great when compared with the important information obtained.
