Abstract
NEWTON et al. (5), GOODING et al. (3), and GADO et al. (2), have demonstrated that iodinated radiographic contrast agents accumulate in the intravascular and extravascular spaces of the dura mater. Computerised tomography in the axial plane (C.A.T.) permits routine identification of this falx and tentorial blush after intravenous administration of contrast agent. Familiarity with the normal C.A.T. appearance and anatomic relationships of the tentorium provides a basis for understanding the C.A.T. manifestations of many non-neoplastic disease processes.
