The attenuation profiles before and after contrast enhancement were examined in 18 infants and children with posterior fossa tumors: eight cerebellar astrocytomas, six medulloblastomas, and four brainstem tumors. The astrocytomas, with one exception, had characteristic patterns, and all could be dis

The authors discuss their original observations using computed tomography (CI') in the diagnosis of posterior fossa neoplasms in children. The subject of CT diagnosis of childhood supratentorial tumors is also reviewed. However, despite the documented value of 0, the authors believe that magnetic re
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.
