Ventriculogram is similar to the pneumoencephalogram.
腦室造影和氣腦造影類似。
It can give the same type of information.
可以提供類似的信息。
It is used when there is greater intracranial pressure and gives a more specific outline of brain lesions.
腦室造影在顱內壓過高時使用,它可以提供更為具體的腦損傷。
Cerebrospinal fluid should be withdrawn and replaced with air.
需要將腦脊液全部放出,然后充入空氣。
