SPIRAL CT SCAN PICTURE

 

spiral-CT.jpgIf the client so wishes, it is possible, before the treatment, to carry out a three-dimensional Tomography at a specially-equipped surgery or clinic. In order to be able to show the shifting of the Atlas, it is necessary to have access to a spiral CT scanner and the right settings for the apparatus. A traditional CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) scanner with standard settings CANNOT be used for this purpose. Ordinary radiography machines and magnetic resonance scanners (MRI/RMT/RM) are not capable of clearly showing the misalignment of the Atlas. Indeed, this is why, until now, medicine has not paid proper attention to the Atlas problem. It is necessary to find a clinic equipped with a spiral CT scanner. Tomography is not essential to the conduct of the treatment, except in a few rare special cases. A second spiral CT scan can be carried out after the ATLANTOtec® treatment in order to check the results. The photo on the left shows a spiral CT scanner.
Where to have a spiral CT scan in Switzerland: Dr John Hayek, Neurologist, Weinbergstr. 160, 8006 Zurich (Tel. 044 363 36 21), has the necessary equipment and expertise to carry out a spiral CT of the highest quality. Using a spiral CT scanner and appropriate image processing software, it is possible to make accurate measurements of the misalignment of the atlanto-occipital joint. We recommend that you have a CT scan carried out by Dr Hayek, who has great experience and expertise. Appointments for CT scans are made through the ATLANTOtec® centre after manual checking for the presence of a misalignment. CT Appointments are available from Monday to Friday until 15:30 (mornings only on Thursdays). For those who live far away, it is possible to arrange two appointments for the same day: one for the spiral CT and one for the Atlas treatment. It is recommended to have a subsequent follow-up CT scan in order to check that the treatment has been successful.
The first series of CT images (before treatment) can usually be paid for through health insurance. The follow-up CT is billed directly to the patient (flat fee of CHF 300.-)

 



 

EXAMPLES OF MISALIGNMENT OF THE ATLAS

 

Atlasverschiebung   

The first spiral CT shows an Atlas (viewed from below) rotated 5 degrees to the left (in relation to the occiput). The degree of rotation is indicated at the bottom right of the image.

Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.    
Subluxation subluxiert   The second spiral CT shows a Atlas with a rotation of 7 degrees to the left.
Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.    
Axis   In the third spiral CT, the Atlas is rotated 8 degrees to the left.
Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.    
Atlaswirbel
  The fourth spiral CT shows a rare instance in which the Atlas is rotated to the right, in this case by 2 degrees.
Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.    
TAC-spirale Atlaswirbel   The fifth spiral TC shows another case in which the Atlas is rotated approximately 6 degrees to the right.
Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.

REPERCUSSIONS ON THE AXIS AND THE OTHER CERVICAL VERTEBRAE

 

This 3D reconstruction of a spiral CT scan shows a cross-section of the upper cervical vertebrae, viewed from the rear.

Image 1: before
ATLANTOtec® treatment.
Image 2: one week after treatment.

This image shows clearly the better alignment of the vertebrae and the occiput after treatment: the tooth of the axis is more centralised, and the cranium is no longer tilted to the right.

Copying of these images is strictly prohibited.
