Cranial computerized tomography. A radiologic-pathologic correlation
Abstract:
One hundred twenty-three patients having cranial computerized tomography (CT) within two months of death were reviewed to determine the accuracy of CT. Those patients having scans within two weeks of death on the 160-matrix EMI head scanner had a false-negative rate of 11%. Approximately one third of all lesions 1 cm or more were not demonstrated. Computerized tomography appears to be the most sensitive neuroradiologic diagnostic tool, but certainly is not infallible.

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...
