    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Computerised axial tomography (CAT) is an essential diagnostic tool.
    • Advances in imaging technology have improved head scans.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the technique and applications of CAT of the head.
    • To describe normal and pathological tomographic features.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on CAT of the head.
    • Analysis of tomographic features in normal and pathological cases.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of CAT technique for head imaging.
    • Identification of characteristic tomographic features for various head pathologies.
    • Illustrations of normal anatomical structures on CAT scans.

    Conclusions:

    • CAT is a valuable method for evaluating the head.
    • Understanding normal and pathological features is crucial for diagnosis.
