Frequent central nervous system measurements using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

In daily practice, during the performance of reports, anatomical variants, lesions and various pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS) are often encountered in which it is necessary to perform some kind of measurements in order to formulate an accurate diagnosis. These measurements allow the referring or treating physician to schedule and perform minimally invasive therapeutic procedures or those requiring major surgical intervention. We performed a description of the most frequent measurements in the CNS using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
