A technique involving the combined use of Amipaque (metrizamide) and computerized tomography scanning is described for the evaluation of ventriculoperitoneal and ventriculoureteral shunt function. The results of three illustrative cases from a series of nine patients are given. In five patients, the technique demonstrated obstruction that was later confirmed at surgery. In the other four patients, it showed patency in the shunt system, and no surgery was performed, thereby obviating unnecessary shunt revisions.
本文描述了一种联合使用阿米派克（甲泛葡胺）和计算机断层扫描技术来评估脑室腹腔分流术和脑室输尿管分流术功能的方法。给出了9例患者中3例具有代表性病例的结果。在5例患者中，该技术显示存在梗阻，随后手术证实了这一点。在另外4例患者中，该技术显示分流系统通畅，未进行手术，从而避免了不必要的分流修正。
