Computed axial tomography in otorhinolaryngology.
The value of computed tomography in ORL and its applications have been briefly discussed. Better soft tissue detail and its relationship to bony structures is obtained. At the present time this modality may be utilized as a screening test in some suspected cases or as an adjunct of conventional methods. With the technical refinements that are constantly being made, better diagnostic information will be obtained in CT scanning.
