Intra-operative computerized axial tomography.
A case is presented in which the entire surgical procedure for a recurrent brain glioma was carried out on the computerized axial tomography (CAT) table. Repeated intra-operative CAT scans provided vital information as to the extent of the tumor. Using this method there was no remnant of tumor tissue detectable on the CAT scan at the end of the operation.
