Dynamische Computertomographie bei Gesichtsschädeltumoren

Abstract

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.
