    The carotid space, parapharyngeal space, and paraspinal space are described. The carotid space is shown on computed tomography (CT) to be posterior to the parapharyngeal space and separated from it by the styloid apparatus. ...
  • Indirect measurement of aneurysm wall thickness using digital stethoscope 
    Jou, Liang-Der; Mawad, Michel E. (2019-07-11)
    Objective: No existing in vivo technique can measure aneurysm wall thickness for evaluation of rupture risk. Intracranial aneurysms produce bruits at a special range of frequency that are highly influenced by the wall ...
  • Computed tomography of the nasopharynx and related spaces. Part II

    Malignant tumors of the nasopharynx were analyzed by region of origin and route of spread. Nasopharyngeal carcinomas produced early submucosal infiltration of the deglutitional muscle layer with enlargement of the levator ...
  • Computed tomography of the cervical lymph nodes 
    Silver, A.J.; Mawad, M.E.; Hilal, S.K.; Ellis, K.; Ganti, S.R.; Sane, P.; Blitzer, A. (2019-07-11)
    Intravenous contrast administration increases the sensitivity of computed tomographic scanning for enlarged cervical lymph nodes but requires a detailed knowledge of neck anatomy, especially in order to distinguish certain ...
  • Computed tomography of the carotid space and related cervical spaces. Part II 
    Silver, A.J.; Mawad, M.E.; Hilal, S.K.; Ascheri, G.F.; Chynn, K.Y.; Baredes, S. (2019-07-11)
    Fourteen neurogenic tumors of the neck were examined with computed tomography (CT) and, in ten cases, angiography. Schwannomas and paragangliomas occurred in the carotid space. These tumors could be distinguished on CT ...
  • Occlusive vascular disease associated with cerebral arteriovenous malformations 
    Mawad, M.E.; Hilal, S.K.; Michelsen, W.J.; Stein, B.; Ganti, S.R. (2019-07-11)
    Selective carotid angiography and computed tomography were used in a study of the association of occlusive vascular disease with cerebral arteriovenous malformations in 13 patients. The arterial occlusions ranged from focal ...
  • Computed tomography of the nasopharynx and related spaces. Part I 
    Silver, A.J.; Mawad, M.E.; Hilal, S.K.; Sane, P.; Ganti, S.R. (2019-07-11)
    The normal computed tomographic anatomy of the nasopharynx and pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae is analyzed. Particular attention is given to the distinction between deglutitional and masticatory muscles. The ...
  • Evaluation of C-arm CT metal artifact reduction algorithm during intra-aneurysmal coil embolization 
    Chintalapani, Gouthami; Chinnadurai, Ponraj; Srinivasan, Visish; Chen, Stephen R.; shaltoni, Hashem; Morsi, Hesham; Mawad, Michel E.; Kan, Peter (2019-07-11)
    Purpose Flat panel C-arm CT images acquired in the interventional suite provide valuable information regarding brain parenchyma, vasculature, and device status during the procedure. However, these images often suffer from ...
  • Computed tomography of the anteverted internal auditory canal 
    Silver, A.J.; Jahn, A.F.; Mawad, M.E.; Ganti, S.R.; Hilal, S.K. (2019-07-11)
    A symmetric variation in the course of the internal auditory canals, visualized best on axial computed tomographic views with thin sections, was observed in three of 75 patients examined mainly for hearing, vestibular, and ...
  • Endovascular stenting of traumatic extracranial carotid artery dissections in the pediatric population 
    Chern, Joshua J.; Chamoun, Roukoz B.; Mawad, Michel E.; Whitehead, William E.; Curry, Daniel J.; Luerssen, Thomas G. (2019-07-11)
    Background Traumatic extracranial carotid artery injuries are rare in children. Treatment options include surgery, anticoagulation therapy and endovascular treatment. There have been only limited reports in the literature ...
  • Surgical cannulation of a cortical draining vein for endovascular treatment of a dural arteriovenous fistula of the cavernous sinus 
    Thomas, Jonathan G.; Chern, Joshua J.; Mawad, Michel E.; Duckworth, Edward A.M. (2019-07-10)
    Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) of the cavernous sinus most commonly present with ocular symptoms and can be observed or treated with endovascular approaches, surgery, or radiosurgery. Combined surgical–endovascular ...
  • Hemodynamics of small aneurysm pairs at the internal carotid artery 
    Jou, Liang-Der; Morsi, Hesham; Shaltoni, Hashem M.; Mawad, Michel E. (2019-07-10)
    Cerebral aneurysms carry significant risks because rupture-related subarachnoid hemorrhage leads to serious and often fatal consequences. The rupture risk increases considerably for multiple aneurysms. Multiple aneurysms ...
  • Multi-wavelength optical imaging of human tumour xenografts 
    Wang, Wei; Cameron, Arlin G.; Wendt, Juliet A.; Mawad, Michel E.; Ke, Shi (2019-07-10)
