Abstract
The basic principles of computed tomography (CT) and their application are discussed. The impact of this method on neuroradiologic diagnosis is reviewed, including economic considerations and the effect on nuclear medicine and other diagnostic procedures. The initial experiences of the Mallinckrodt Institute with whole body scanning are illustrated, and failure possibilities for CT are predicted.
