Cranial computed tomography in infants and children

Cranial computed tomography in infants and children

D C Harwood-Nash et al. Can Med Assoc J. .

Abstract

Cranial computed tomography has been performed in adults for the past 2 years but relatively few children have undergone this procedure. The specific uses in children are in detecting intracranial mass lesions and identifying the character of the lesion, and evaluating congenital cranial diseases such as cerebral dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophies. This safe, rapid, noninvasive technique will soon replace or supplement standard neuroradiologic techniques in infants and children.
