Focused encephalography.
Focused encephalography is a diagnostic procedure performed after computed tomography (CT) that can be specifically focused on diagnostic problems not solved by CT. The authors have used the procedure in 20 cases, and it has proved to be quick, risk-free, and without serious side effects. It provides useful supplementary diagnostic information, and can be especially helpful when CT is not available or when the CT scanner is an early-generation model.
