Abstract:
106 cases of intracranial tumours were evaluated, out of which 42 cases (39.6%) were histologically confirmed as gliomas. Computerised tomography (CT) imaging characteristics of glioma were studied with respect to morphology and contrast enhancement to find a possible correlation between CT appearance and the grade of malignancy. It was found that there is a range of patterns both before and after intravenous contrast, which allows an assessment of grading of the tumour with a fair degree of reliability.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
