  • Title: [Experiences with the value of cerebral computer tomography in complex neuroradiologic diagnosis of brain tumors].
    Author: Fauk D, Planitzer J.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1982; 43(2):193-200. PubMed ID: 6981899.
    Abstract:
    The following-up of the course of the disease in the first 1,093 patients examined computer-tomographically at the Neurological Clinic of the Charité Berlin showed cerebral tumours in 197 cases. In 106 patients, CT, PEG and/or angiography was carried out; in 38 cases, the tumour could only be demonstrated by CT. Besides the generally known advantages of CT, further advantages as compared to angiography/PEG were found: uncomplicated direct performance of the examination, with demonstration of all parts of the brain in one examination, the possibility of demonstrating processes at several sites. Processes in the vicinity of the calotte and tumours which had not yet led to a displacement of cerebral structures.
