Our objectives were to establish a method for quantitative evaluation of ventricle size using computed tomography (CT) in infants with CCMVI, and determine a cut-off value associated with abnormal auditory brainstem response (ABR) early in life.
But in an interview last year, he said that his department, with Dr. Amodio's help, had made significant changes, not only in reducing the amount of radiation in CT scans for infants as well as adults, but also in reducing unnecessary scans.
One possible reason for this is that there is a variation in the position of the optic nerve on the CT images of infants younger than 1 year.
In the current study, we examined the effects of intranasal OT administered to the parent on parent's and infant's CT levels following parent child interaction that included a social stressor.
Some groups advocate for routine investigation of cervicomedullary compression by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computer tomography (CT) studies in the infant with achondroplasia.
These data were compared to deposition in nasal airway replicas based on computed tomography (CT) images of seven infants between the ages of 5 and 79 days.
The median viral load, as reflected by Ct, was highest for infants and children <5 years, next highest for adults >65 years of age, and lowest for the remaining group, respectively (16.7 [IQR 15.7 19.1] vs 19.1 [16.1 20.9] vs 20.5 [17.6 22.3]).
Another possibility is that the opening angle of the optic nerve was affected by the direction of the eyes during the CT scans, especially in infants younger than 1 year.
Ten infants who underwent CT at 6±1 months of age were placed in the 6-month age group.
The highest rate of abnormal CT scans was evident in infants who fell from a parent's arms, a finding consistent with other studies.
