  • Title: Detection of demyelinated plaques with xenon-enhanced computed tomography.
    Author: Haughton V, Schmidt J, Syvertsen A, Khatri B, Ho KC, Wilson C.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1980 Dec; 20(4):181-3. PubMed ID: 6970345.
    Abstract:
    Studies of xenon-enhanced CT for detecting cerebral demyelination have produced conflicting results. Therefore, we studied the effect of xenon inhalation on the CT appearance of five demyelinated plaques. The plaques and the surrounding white matter increased commensurately in attenuation during xenon inhalation. Therefore, xenon enhancement does not generally increase the sensitivity of CT for detecting cerebral demyelination.
