Computed tomography in pediatric diagnosis
R. S. Pinto and 10016. Becker MHE, New York, NY
The use of computed tomography has revolutionized the evaluation of the
neurologically ill child. This safe and noninvasive procedure may be done
on an outpatient basis, eliminating for many the complications that may
occur from invasive neuroradiologic procedures. Computed tomography is of
particular value in the assessment of intracranial neoplasms,
hydrocephalus, and vascular disease. Further advancements are expected in
the technology of computed scanning and in its diagnostic use in the rest
of the body.
