Diagnosis of intracranial tumors by CT (computerized tomography) from a practical point of view

Abstract

In a historical abstract the mathematical basis of image reconstruction techniques and CT is reviewed. The enhancement of iodine contrast media is essential in CT diagnostis of space occupying intracranial lesions. Intracranial tumors usually show relatively characteristical but mostly non-specific absorption patterns. Additional clinical information is necessary for differential diagnostic evalution. The development of tables with various tumor patterns is recommended. Absorption feature of primary and secondary brain-tumors with the surrounding edema is explained. Glioblastomas as well as metastases often show a distinct cerebral edema which has been observed in 64% of our patients with metastases and distinctly localized high dense foci in 69%. 6,000 patients were investigated by CT and 1,708 examinations were performed with contrast enhancement. Side-effects are within the known reaction of other intravenously applicated contrast media.
