title: [Computerized tomography in paleopathology].
abstract: Paleopathology is the study of human ailments in bygone times of which written records are non-existent or inadequate. Essentially, it is based on osteological findings. Radiologic examination, which reveals the inner structure of the bones, plays an important role. Additional information can be obtained with CT, primarily because there is no superimposition of the bones. The very detailed radiologic demonstration of a periosteal reaction on a tibia in a case of acquired syphilis is illustrated.
