Abstract:
The clinical applications of computed x ray tomography (CT in tumour identification are reviewed. The advantages and limitations of the technique are highlighted in the context of tumour presentation, staging and subsequent management. Particular emphasis is laid on the ability of CT guided biopsy techniques to overcome the lack of soft tissue specificity inherent in CT scanning.
