Contact enhancement by xenon gas in computed tomography of the spinal cord and brain: preliminary observations

Xenon gas has the capability of providing contrast enhancement in computed tomography (CT) by direct contact with certain organs and tissue. Preliminary observations on the applications of this type of contrast enhancement in CT study of the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain) are reporte...
