On the basis of 88 patients examined with CAT, the writers consider the merits of this method of investigation in a study of endocranial complications in blood diseases. Interest in CAT is related in great part to its innoccuousness (making it possible to extend its application to often seriously ill patients) and the precision of the images which are obtained. This precision makes it possible to visualize lesions which at times can not be detected with other methods. A great part of present knowledge on endocranial complications in blood diseases is based on autopsy findings. With CAT, there is definitely the possibility of performing anatomical studies during the patient's lifetime, thus providing a better understanding of the characteristics and frequency of these complications. This is already made clear by this preliminary study, particularly in the area of acute leukemia and Hodgkin's disease.
基于对88例接受计算机断层扫描（CAT）检查的患者的研究，作者探讨了该检查方法在血液病颅内并发症研究中的优势。人们对CAT的关注很大程度上源于其无害性（使得它能够应用于通常病情严重的患者）以及所获得图像的精确性。这种精确性使得可视化一些有时用其他方法无法检测到的病变成为可能。目前关于血液病颅内并发症的大部分知识是基于尸检结果。有了CAT，确实有可能在患者生前进行解剖学研究，从而更好地了解这些并发症的特征和发生率。这项初步研究已经清楚地表明了这一点，尤其是在急性白血病和霍奇金病领域。
