Review of carotid angiograms in evaluation of intra cranial lesions prior to the advent of computerized tomography (CT) scan in Ghana (1982-1992)

Cerebral arteriography was first introduced in Spain by Egax Monizs in 1927. In Ghana; carotid angiograms performed at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital between the mid sixties and the late seventies were done by non-radiologists.
