CT and MR Imaging of Lesions of Skull Base and Cranial Vault
1989
The importance of CT in examinations of the skull base, including its role in the planning of operative or radiation therapy, has long been recognized (Liliequist and Forsell 1976; Bradac et al. 1977 a, b; 1978 a, b; Hammerschlag et al. 1977; Caille et al. 1977; Lohkamp et al. 1977; Huk and Schiefer 1978; Becker et al. 1978; Weinstein et al. 1978).

A more detailed discussion of specific tumor types may be found under the appropriate headings elsewhere in the book.
Die Rolle der Farbduplexsonographie bei Diagnose und Differentialdiagnose von Glomus-caroticum-Tumoren*
1996
BACKGROUND Currently the diagnosis of tumorous lesions of the carotid bifurcation is the domain of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). So far, colour Doppler imaging (CDI) has not been playing an important part in this field. The aim of this study was to define the diagnostic value of CDI in the evaluation of these tumours related to the big arteries and to compare the different imaging techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS 6 female patients with suspected tumours of the carotid bifurcation were examined with CDI. Additionally 5 MRI examinations and 3 preoperative diagnostic DSA examinations were performed in the same patients. Pathologically, there were 4…
