Celiac plexus block: evaluation of injectate spread by three-dimensional computed tomography
1Department of Surgery, Satoh Memorial Hospital, Shoo-Cho Kokudo 45, Katsuta-gun, Okayama 709-4312, Japan.
Abstract:
We describe a case of pancreatic cancer in which the spread pattern of injectate during neurolytic celiac plexus block was evaluated by three-dimensional helical computed tomography. Three-dimensional images provide excellent visualization of the spread patterns of injectate in a target site, which appears to provide patients with effective relief from intractable pain.

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
