Synopsis
What can the clinician learn from CAT scans? The author of this book provides a clear account of the extent and limitations of axial computerized tomography, beginning with a brief introduction to the scan and covering the basic physics and equipment used. He then gives an account of normal anatomy as seen with the CAT scan and reviews the use of the scan in neonatal work, congenital abnormality and hydrocephalus, and in the infections, vascular disorders and tumours. This is intended as a basic book for the paediatrician, enabling him to make reasonable referral to the paediatric radiologist.
