Cerebral Ultrasonic Tomography

Abstract
One hundred neurological patients were subjected to "A" and "B" scanning. In 43 histologically verified intracranial masses were demonstrated. For the midline echo determination, the accuracy was 94.2% in cases without displacement and 90.4% in cases with proved midline displacements. The sound-picture tracings of the 43 verified intracranial tumors are analyzed. The accuracy of the method is still low; however, it is simple, easily reproducible, and quite inexpensive. It may find great importance as a screening test for more elaborate neuroradiologic examination in cases with clinical suspicion of mass lesions.
