Description

We deal now with scanning at two different kilovoltages. CT scans of the brain which demonstrate a lesion of high Hounsfield units may present a problem in determining whether the lesion is blood or calcification. Intraparenchymal calcification may show elevated absorption values indentical to the values for fresh blood clots. (orig./AJ)

Abstract (German)

Der Aufsatz behandelt Scanning bei zwei verschiedenen kV-Werten. Im CT-Scan des Gehirns bei Schaeden der hohen Hounsfieldeinheiten ist nur schwer zu erkennen, ob es sich bei der Loesung um Blut oder um Kalzifikation handelt. Bei intraparenchymaler Verknoecherung sind die Absorptionswerte aehnlich hoch wie bei frischen Blutgerinnseln. (orig./AJ)
