    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Diagnostic imaging of the third and fourth ventricles and aqueduct is crucial for neurological assessments.
    • Traditional gas ventriculography presents challenges in terms of ease of performance and patient comfort.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and safety of positive contrast ventriculography using Amipaque.
    • To compare Amipaque-enhanced ventriculography with conventional gas ventriculography.

    Main Methods:

    • Positive contrast ventriculography was performed using the water-soluble medium Amipaque.
    • The procedure was conducted in 47 patients with suspected lesions in the third and fourth ventricles and aqueduct.

    Main Results:

    • Amipaque-enhanced ventriculography demonstrated greater diagnostic accuracy for lesions in the third and fourth ventricles and aqueduct.

  • The examination was easier to perform and caused no distress or complications in the patient cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • Positive contrast ventriculography with Amipaque is a superior method for diagnosing lesions in the third and fourth ventricles and aqueduct.
    • Amipaque offers improved safety and ease of use over gas ventriculography for these specific neuroimaging applications.
