[Assessment of the diagnostic yield of cerebral CT in children].
In order to show if an excessive use of cerebral computed tomography of children (aged 0 to 15 years) existed, scans from 157 patients from a single X-ray-department was examined. The clinical information which was presented on referral of the patients was also investigated. No excessive use was proven, as 26.1% of the patients showed pathological changes on the scans. But the investigation also showed that the percentage could probably be higher if more (if not all) patients was examined by a neurologist before referral to the X-ray-department.
