Abstract
Cranial computed tomography was performed in adults for the past 2 yr but relatively few children underwent this procedure. The specific uses in children were in detecting intracranial mass lesions, identifying the character of the lesion and evaluating congenital cranial diseases such as cerebral dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophies. This safe, rapid, noninvasive technique will soon replace or supplement standard neuroradiologic techniques in infants and children.
