Computed tomography and skull radiography in the diagnosis of calcified brain tumor
Abstract:
Among 104 consecutive patients with verified brain tumor, 13 (12.5%) had histologic evidence for calcification. Skull radiographs and CT scans of those cases revealed that in most instances calcification detected by CT was also present on skull radiographs. In cases with a high density lesion present on CT and normal skull radiography, the maximum density on CT was below that which characterizes calcification. The study suggests a complementary role of the two modalities in investigating intracranial calcification.

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...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
