Abstract
The introduction of computed tomography has revolutionized neurodiagnosis. This diagnostic procedure makes it possible to define human intracranial anatomy by visualizing structures of different radiodensities. Computed tomography may detect and define the underlying pathologic processes more directly than is possible with other diagnostic procedures and has reduced the need for invasive contrast procedures.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
