Comparative computed tomographic and histopathological studies of intracramal space occupying lesions

Cranial computed tomography [CT] has revolutionized neuroradiologic diagnosis by providing a safe, fast and accurate depiction of intracranial pathology. In 100 patients studied, CT had shown regions of altered radiographic densities of their brains indicating an intracranial space occupying lesion [ICSOL]. The CT diagnoses were compared with the histopathological diagnoses of these patients using the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy tests. The CT was highly specific in all groups [sp 92-100%], variably sensitive in the different groups [sn 0-100%] and highly accurate in all groups [Ace 81, 67-100%]
