The CT [computed tomographic] findings in cystic teratomas of the ovary are reviewed 4 patients are discussed. Those teratomas were analyzed with standard CT, augmented by direct nonreconstructed coronal and sagittal views, to establish the true extent of the process and to define the characteristic heterogeneous contents.
