Quantitative computed tomography is an established method for the non-invasive assessment of bone mineral content. Scanning with two different X-ray energies allows material-selective image reconstruction and separation on the basis of differing atomic numbers. As proven by chemophysical analysis of

## Abstract It is difficult to assess from conventional xβrays the amount of loading that a bone can tolerate. The question therefore was asked whether the mechanical properties of cortical bone could be estimated by using a computed tomography (CT) system typically employed in the clinical setting
Computed tomographic (CT) scans of 32 children (mean age 2.8 +/- 2.5 years) with a wide range of craniocerebral asymmetry (CCA) were analyzed. Hemiparesis and epilepsy were the main clinical presentations. Two-thirds of the patients had brain infarcts. The degree of cerebral and ventricular asymmetr
The megadolichobasilar anomaly may be diagnosed by CT as an extra-axial lesion in the cerebellopontine angle. It enhances in a tubular fashion after intravenous injection of contrast. Hydrocephalus resulting from obstruction of CSF circulation may be demonstrated.
