Computerized tomography scanning of the temporal bone. 1979

W N Hanafee, and A A Mancuso, and H A Jenkins, and J Winter

Computerized tomography (CT) scanning has reached a degree of sophistication that requires alteration of technical factors to demonstrate different parameters of temporal bone pathology. The techniques for pontocerebellar angle display, eustachian tube, middle ear pathology, and overall temporal bone display are quite different. Close cooperation between the radiologist and otologic surgeon are required for optimal use of CT scanning advances.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
