Conventional radiographic and computer-assisted (CT) cisternography of the posterior fossa using Metrizamide was carried out in 25 and 33 patients respectively. The contrast medium was injected by the lumbar or cervical route. During conventional cisternography, contrast medium distribution is most easily controlled by a lateral injection at the level of the first to second cervical vertebra. Because of its physical properties, Metrizamide results in good demonstration of detail. CT cisternography is usually able to demonstrate an extra-cerebral space-occupying lesion with a diameter greater than 1 cm. This procedure has fewer complications due to the contrast medium or the technique, since small amounts of Metrizamide achieve an adequate increase in the density of the CSF; it is therefore possible to inject this by a lumbar route and to carry out the entire examination with the patient supine. Both conventional and CT cisternography permit very accurate diagnosis in the region of the foramen magnum. Both procedures can be used on their own or as an addition to conventional Metrizamide myelography.
分别对25例和33例患者进行了使用甲泛葡胺的后颅窝传统放射成像和计算机辅助（CT）脑池造影。造影剂通过腰椎或颈椎途径注入。在传统脑池造影过程中，在第一至第二颈椎水平进行侧方注射最容易控制造影剂的分布。由于甲泛葡胺的物理特性，其能很好地显示细节。CT脑池造影通常能够显示直径大于1 cm的脑外占位性病变。该检查因造影剂或技术导致的并发症较少，因为少量甲泛葡胺就能使脑脊液密度充分增加；因此可以通过腰椎途径注射，并在患者仰卧位时完成整个检查。传统脑池造影和CT脑池造影在枕骨大孔区域都能进行非常准确的诊断。这两种检查方法既可以单独使用，也可以作为传统甲泛葡胺脊髓造影的补充。
