[Improving radiographic diagnosis of the sella by means of direct magnification technics and autotomography].

On the basis of personal experiences with 30 cases and a survey of literature the authors discuss the value of radiological diagnostic assessment of sella using a technique of direct magnification and autotomography. The superiority of these techniques over the information obtained from plain films of the skull has been demonstrated. These techniques are easy, not time-consuming, they do not require complex apparatus and their costs approximate those of plain radiograms.
