| pubmed-article:6213526 | pubmed:abstractText | Two-dimensional echo-encephalography using the fontanelle and open sutures as an "acoustic window" for the skull has offered a new possibility of investigating at least in part the morphological conditions inside the skull. We considered it necessary to examine the value of these new methods by checking the sonographic findings by means of cranial CT. The possibility of modern data processing when employing CT enables the visualisation of the coronal and sagittal planes which can be covered by echo-encephalography. Since it involves low stress for the patient and since it is a practicable method, two-dimensional echo-encephalography is very suitable for screening and for checking on the status of the patient. Since CT can visualise the overall situation inside the skull with greater accuracy, it remains indispensable as a basic examination method, depending on the overall clinical signs and symptoms. | lld:pubmed |
