TL;DR: Hemorrhagic contusion was the most frequent focal parenchymal abnormality demonstrated in a series of 304 acute closed head injury patients studied by sequential computed tomography (CT).

TL;DR: Wc have reviewed 58 CT Scans done on 17 patients and have observed four different patterns depending on the stage of the abscess, which shows an irregular area of decreased density, a well defined nodular-appearing mass, a thick or thin walled cavity or a lesion with an incompletewall.

TL;DR: Computed tomography accurately delineates the sphenoid sinus and its relationship to the rest of the cranial base, cranial tbssae, nasopharynx and orbits, and aids in the differential diagnosis.

TL;DR: Cardinal findings in the noncontrast CT in the remaining 15 patients with Moyamoya weis cortical atrophy, varying degrees of ventricular dilatation and intracerebral lucent areas, and no significant increase in the attenuation values was observed after contrast enhancement.

TL;DR: Results of a retrospective study of 397 patients with focal seizures evaluated by computed tomography reveal the important role of CT in establishing an etiologic diagnosis.

TL;DR: In order to establish a broader statistical base for the quantitative criteria, an additional 188 normal CT scans were reviewed and combined with the previous 200 scans for a total population of 388 cases and a quantitative criterion for the normal bithalamic index is based on the analysis of 100normal CT scans.

TL;DR: The potential advantages of myocardial imaging are numerous and include the ability to differentiate the myocardium from the blood pool which would permit volume analysis, determination of ejection fraction, study of akinesis and dyskinesis, evaluation of ischemicMyocardium and, ultimately, the visualization of the lumen of coronary arteries.

TL;DR: Although little additional data was supplied in patients with milder clinical presentations in more severe trauma, good correlation was generally obtained and computed tomographc (CT) scan eas extremely useful, eliminating the need for additional studies in the acutely traumatizes patient.

TL;DR: The computerized tomography appearence of interhemispheric subdural empyema to be characteristic and a fluid accumulation is seen adjacent to the falx, bounded laterally by a zone of increased density following injection of contrast medium.
