Abstract
There are two alternatives to demonstrate diagnostic errors in computerized tomography: statistics and the evaluation of single cases. Statistics are necessary but they cannot disclose the reason and the consequences of misinterpretations for the individual case. Nine out of 4200 patients subjected to computerized tomography were selected to discuss some problems of diagnosis of cerebrovascular lesions by computerized tomography.
