[Computed tomography in the precise diagnosis of intracranial neoplasms]

Out of 687 patients examined with Soviet-made CPT-1000M computed tomograph, 37 were found to have brain neoplasia. The x-ray morphologic pattern of tumors was closely studied as well as densitometric indexes before and after contrast intensification. The said complex of data allowed differential diagnosis of brain pathology. In some cases, histologic pattern of tumor was suggested before it was actually identified.
