[Comparative MR and CT research in selected neuroradiological problems].
Magnetic resonance (MR) is a new digital imaging method which is of particular interest in the radiological diagnosis of the central nervous system. It provides a new form for demonstrating the brain and the spinal cord. To evaluate the scope of the method, it was compared with CT. The results in patients with epilepsy of unknown origin, cerebral infarcts, sellar space-occupying lesions and spinal angiomas are described. MR provides information concerning tumours causing epilepsy and also fresh infarcts at an earlier stage than CT. MR has not, so far, provided any new insights in the diagnosis of sellar tumours or spinal angiomas. In these cases, MR can, nevertheless, compete with CT and with conventional radiological methods. Present experience, particularly with problem cases, indicates that MR is becoming an important method of examination in neuroradiology.
