Description
Summary:Today, the extension of the diagnosis of apoplexy by the employment of computer tomography is part of an important field of indications for this examination method. Experience in this respect could be obtained from a total of 1,500 patients with a share of 105 cases presenting cerebral blood supply disturbances. The unproblematic differentiation of mass haemorrhages and cerebral infarctions including the possibility of an exact assessment of the process dynamics proved to be diagnostically just as important as the differential diagnostics of intracranial haemorrhages of other origins, such as occur after a rupture of aneurysms and angiomas as well as tumour haemorrhages.
