Computerized tomography in the detection of intracranial metastases in children.
Computerized tomography brain scans produce sectional tomograms of the brain substance which demonstrate intracranial lesions. The procedure is safe and painless, and can be done on an outpatient basis. Three children with malignant disease had intracranial metastases demonstrated using this technique during a recent six-month period at the Cleveland Clinic.
