The CT head scan is a valuable new device for the diagnosis of intracranial pathology in children. It is especially useful in detection of cerebral tumors, hydrocephalus, blood-fluid collections, and congenital anomalies. Because of its expense, it cannot be recommended for use in screening of children with seizures, headaches, or nonprogressive focal neurologic signs. Other new ultrasonic and tomographic techniques are being developed, making it advisable to use the radiologist as a clinical consultant in selection of appropriate neuroradiologic procedures in children.
