Visual implications of diagnostic advances in neurology.
Two major diagnostic advances in neurology which have visual implications are Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT Scan) and Evoked Potentials. This paper briefly discusses the basic concepts of the CAT Scan and of Evoked Potentials. In addition, it includes select clinical applicability of each.
