Computed tomography of the brain: a guide to understanding and interpreting normal and abnormal images in the
Abstract:
The computed tomography (CT) diagnosis of the neurologically impaired patient, both initially and as it evolves over time, is a critical factor in determining treatment and prognosis. As an integral part of the management team, it is vital that the critical care nurse have a firm understanding of the various diagnoses on an anatomic level. This article attempts to provide the fundamentals for understanding the technology and uses of CT imaging as well as performing a basic interpretation of normal and abnormal CT images in a variety of disease states.

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...
