“…Die Corn~uterto-Die Computertomographie (CT) des Gesichtsschädels ermöglicht einen ausgezeichneten Einblick in diese anatomisch komplexe Region. Neben den lufthaltigen paranasalen und weichteildichten Räumen wie Retromaxillar-und Parapharyngealraum werden die knöchernen Strukturen des Gesichtsschädels und die Schädelbasis sowie Orbita und das Neurokranium dargestellt (4,8,10,17 …”

Serial computer tomography after intravenous bolus injection of contrast provides information concerning the vascularity of tumours in the facial skeleton. In addition the relationship of the tumour to the major vessels and their displacement or compression can be demonstrated. This provides information additional to the ordinary computer tomogram, so that neoplasms of the facial skeleton can be shown at various stages and their extent determined. A requirement for the use of serial CT is a scanner with a short scan time and scan interval.

Three years ago, at the VIIth International Congress of Radiology in Otorhinolaryngology, held in Copenhagen, the early impressive results of computer-assisted tomography (CAT) in otorhinolaryngology were presented. Since considerable technologic and diagnostic progress of CAT has taken place in the meantime, questions about the increase in CAT's value and the expansion of its limits are appropriate now. Computed and, in some cases, conventional tomograms of facial lesions are used in the discussion of these questions. There is no doubt of CAT's advance within the last few years; there are, however, limits of CAT to be emphasized: (a) coronal CAT might be uncomfortable (especially if the gantry cannot be tilted), unsuccessful (e.g., in cases of neck stiffness), and even dangerous (when head injury is combined with trauma to the cervical spine); (b) enhancement is often not useful (except when intracranial tumor invasion is suspected); (c) specific diagnosis, based on CAT findings only, is impossible in most cases; (d) the radiation dose, which increases with improvement in the quality of the image, must be considered in each case; and (e) CAT does not replace conventional x-ray techniques, least of all polytomography.
