Abstract

Studies of xenon-enhanced CT for detecting cerebral demyelination have produced conflicting results. Therefore, we studied the effect of xenon inhalation on the CT appearance of five demyelinated plaques. The plaques and the surrounding white matter increased commensurately in attenuation during xenon inhalation. Therefore, xenon enhancement does not generally increase the sensitivity of CT for detecting cerebral demyelination.

摘要

关于氙增强CT检测脑脱髓鞘的研究结果相互矛盾。因此，我们研究了吸入氙气对五个脱髓鞘斑块CT表现的影响。在吸入氙气期间，斑块及周围白质的衰减程度相应增加。因此，氙增强一般不会提高CT检测脑脱髓鞘的敏感性。
