Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Ischaemic Cerebral Infarcts by Computed Tomography

  • Conference paper
The Diagnostic Limitations of Computerised Axial Tomography

Abstract

Although the appearance of ischaemic cerebral infarcts in computed tomographic (CT) scans is often characteristic (ref 1–6), atypical appearances may cause diagnostic errors. Awareness of these potential pitfalls is neccessary for accurate interpretation.
