Typically, a CT scan is done twice: first without CM to identify sequestrum, followed by using CM to visualize the FT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To develop a streamlined and effective CTF method that reduces patient radiation exposure and lowers examination costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The method employs hydrogen peroxide (H\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      O\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) as a contrast agent.

Since gas has a significantly lower radiopacity than iodinated contrast agents, gas-filled fistulas appear black on the CT monitor, while CM, foreign bodies, and bones appear white. This technique has been used in over 200 patients for the lower and uppser extremities, pelvis, spine, and chest.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The images enabled a simultaneous investigation of the spatial relationship between the FT and sequestrum, irrespective of the body segment examined.
