  • Title: Evaluation of brain and epidural abscesses by computed tomography.
    Author: Lott T, el Gammal T, Dasilva R, Hanks D, Reynolds J.
    Journal: Radiology; 1977 Feb; 122(2):371-6. PubMed ID: 834879.
    Abstract:
    Most brain abscesses have a characteristic but nonspecific appearance on computed tomography (CT), consisting of a ring configuration of the abscess capsule which shows marked enhancement after injection of contrast material. CT scanning is invaluable in both the initial investigation of a brain abscess and assessment of its response to therapy. The CT scan showed a peripheral low-density crescent in one case of epidural abscess.
