Computed tomography of the calvarium: a prospective study.
Retrospective analysis of high-resolution raw scanning data was prospectively applied in the evaluation of lesions of the scalp and the calvarium over a 12-month period. The spectrum of abnormalities identified and the impact of CT on both diagnosis and management of 25 patients are presented. Metastases and traumatic lesions were excluded. CT was useful in both diagnosis and subsequent patient management.
