Abstract
The combination of scintigraphy and CT provides simultaneous functional and anatomic imagery of the device. The slow infusion of the radioisotope mimics the diffusion of baclofen, and this could be a useful method to explore intrathecal device malfunction. Further studies are required to compare scintigraphy coupled with CT, to radiopaque injection followed by fluoroscopy or CT.
