[Cerebral tomodensitometry (scanner) and accident sequelae: its medico-legal value].
The authors report their experience of one years use of a cerebral scanner in the investigation of the sequelae of head injuries, and the medico-legal interest of this discovery. It permits one to visualise the pathological processes responsible for the symptoms following head injuries and its is thus of major intetrest in legal medicine where the subjective factor in these symptoms is difficult to assess. Increasing considerably the proportion of definite etiologies in this pathology, the authors believe that this new method will become standard in the medico-legal assessment of head injuries.
