โฆ Synopsis
After studying the histograms of 87 supratentorial brain tumors and 4 abscesses before and after contrast medium injection and analyzing the results, we attempt to determine characteristic signs of the various kinds of tumors in order to improve their pathologic definition. The meningiomas, astrocytomas, and abscesses seem to show the most standard signs. The metastases are the most variable kind of tumors.

A previously unsuspected linear relationship between the initial density and the amount of uptake of various tumors is described. As a rule, initially radiodense neoplasms enhance less than radiolucent neoplasms. For a given amount of enhancement, meningiomas are initially more radiodense than metas
The normal ventricular system and subarachnoid space were evaluated on the CT scans of 155 children chosen from 1,400 pediatric CT examinations, and linear measurements were made. The left septum-caudate distance was greater than the right, and the width of the left anterior horn and size of the sku
