Cranial computed tomography has been performed in adults for the past 2 years but relatively few children have undergone this procedure. The specific uses in children are in detecting intracranial mass lesions and identifying the character of the lesion, and evaluating congenital cranial diseases such as cerebral dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophies. This safe, rapid, noninvasive technique will soon replace or supplement standard neuroradiologic techniques in infants and children.

在过去两年中，成人已进行了头颅计算机断层扫描，但接受该检查的儿童相对较少。其在儿童中的具体用途包括检测颅内肿块病变、确定病变特征，以及评估先天性颅脑疾病，如脑发育不良、结节性硬化症和脑白质营养不良。这种安全、快速、无创的技术很快将取代或补充婴儿和儿童的标准神经放射学技术。
