The Diagnostic Limitations of Computerised Axial Tomography

Abstract

Thanks to CT, cerebral oedema can now be visualized for the first time9 enabling studies on its extension and development in different cerebral conditions. According to our experiences we may assume that by means of follow up studies:

  • 1) new information on the pathophysiological processes may be obtained,

  • 2) the therapeutic effects may be objectively controlled.
