[A comparative analysis of the brain computer tomography in patients with acromegaly before and after gamma-therapy].
The data given in the paper suggest that X-ray computed tomography is highly effective in evaluating the characteristics of pituitary adenomas in acromegaly and in revealing the changes caused in the pituitary adenoma by gamma-ray teletherapy. The use of brain computed tomography yielded data on the main X-ray criteria to be used in the follow-up of patients undergone radiation therapy for acromegaly.
