Computer reconstructed sagittal and coronal computed tomography head scans: clinical applications. 1978

K R Maravilla

Recent technical advances to computed tomography (CT) have enabled evaluation of the head in multiple planes. A technique that utilizes computer reconstruction of data from 3 mm contiguous transverse scans to display images in sagittal and coronal planes is described. The clinical usefulness of this technique is discussed and illustrative cases are presented. Multiple plane CT evaluation has proven a valuable adjunct to axial plane CT scanning, which can provide better definition of the extent of lesions, facilitate treatment, and improve diagnostic accuracy in many cases.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
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.
