Abstract:
Experience with 2000 MRI's in the field of neuroradiology is summarized. The advantages and limits of this new modality are discussed in diseases of the brain and the spinal cord. MRI is superior to CT in detecting small lesions. Spots of demyelinization can be readily shown and the extent of a tumor can be assessed by cuts in three directions. CT is complementary to MRI in differentiating the nature of lesions. Emergency cases should be investigated with CT.
