Multiplanar computed tomographic (CT) scanning done without injection of contrast agent detected the nervous tissue abnormalities in 4 patients with Arnold-Chiari Malformation. Comparisons were made between traditional radiological studies and CT scanning. Three cases were confirmed surgically; the fourth case was diagnosed purely by CT scanning. This preliminary study suggests that this new technique should be sufficient to make a positive diagnosis in most cases of Arnold-Chiari malformation.
在未注射造影剂的情况下进行的多平面计算机断层扫描（CT）检测到4例阿诺德-奇亚里畸形患者的神经组织异常。对传统放射学研究和CT扫描进行了比较。3例经手术证实；第4例纯粹通过CT扫描确诊。这项初步研究表明，这项新技术应足以在大多数阿诺德-奇亚里畸形病例中做出阳性诊断。
