title: Contrast enhancement of brain tumors in computed tomography.
abstract: In 20 patients with brain tumors contrast enhancement in computer tomography CT is compared to the occurrence of elastin fibers in the tumor on microscopic examination. The results give rise to the statement that the perivascular and intercellular space is of importance for contrast enhancement in CT.
