ABSTRACT

Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of patients with brain tumors. CT is an important and commonly used modality. They have a significant impact on patient modalities and care. The technical improvement of CT and the utility of contrast material in the imaging of brain tumors improved significantly the detection and the evaluation of brain neoplasms.Once a brain tumor is clinically suspected, radiologic evaluation is required to determine the location, the extent of the tumor and its relationship to the surrounding structures. This information is very important & critical in deciding among different forms of therapy such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In this article we will give an overview of the role of CT in the diagnosis of brain tumors.
