Computed tomography of the skull base.
By applying a wide window to computed tomography (CT) images, excellent detail of the skull base has been obtained. This technique has been apllied to lesions involving the sellar, parasellar, sphenoid wing, petrous bone, clival, and foramen magnum regions. Thus, CT has proved to have an additional dimension in the delineation of pathology.
