Abstract
Achievements and limitations of tomodensitometry are usually assessed in terms of correct or misleading information on existence and nature of lesions, detected by the CT scan, often in an early stage. With increasing frequency, CT is performed at a stage when the patient is practically symptom-free, e.g. after a first epileptic seizure. Discovery of a small expanding lesion in a critical area of the brain leads naturally to another, complementary aspect of radiological information, which is the detailed and precise localisation of the lesion and of its vascular supply with respect to the anatomy of the surrounding brain.
