Radiological diagnosis of Sturge-Weber's disease is based on the recognition of the characteristic "tram-line" type of calcification at routine skull X ray examination. Computerized tomography allows an earlier diagnosis since it shows smaller calcifications. It also provides a better appreciation of the associated parenchimal anomalies, such as cerebral atrophy, and an exact evaluation of the extent of the pial angiomatosis following intravenous injection of contrast. In four children with Sturge-Weber's disease CT clearly revealed the full extent of calcifications and vascular anomaly; in one of the children the diagnosis was possible before the appearance of the calcifications.
斯特奇-韦伯综合征的放射学诊断基于常规头颅X线检查中对特征性“铁轨样”钙化的识别。计算机断层扫描能够更早地做出诊断，因为它能显示出更小的钙化。它还能更好地显示相关的实质异常，如脑萎缩，并且在静脉注射造影剂后能准确评估软脑膜血管瘤的范围。在4例斯特奇-韦伯综合征患儿中，CT清晰地显示了钙化和血管异常的全貌；其中1例患儿在钙化出现之前就得以确诊。
