Abstract
Successful localization of CSF leaks on dynamic CT myelography requires a refined technical approach. In this video article, methods are presented to select and optimize patient position, as well as highlight potential pitfalls and strategies to augment utility in the setting of a difficult examination. Careful understanding and refinement of patient positioning in dynamic CT myelography ensures the performance of high-fidelity examinations with maximal diagnostic yield, decreasing the need for repeat studies and lumbar punctures.
