Abstract
Computed tomographic scans were performed in 34 patients following lumbar introduction of metrizamide. Imaging of the cranial spaces was obtained with horizontal and inclined (25°) as well as coronal planes. Mass lesions within and encroaching upon the cisternal spaces were demonstrated, and the ventricular system was shown with varying degrees of opacification. Coronal and semicoronal views facilitated the localization of parasellar and incisural mass lesions.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
