Abstract

Direct sagittal computed tomography (CT) was performed on 47 children with pathology in the posterior fossa, orbit, parasellar region, face and ear. The direct sagittal projection provided additional information about the extent of disease and relationship of the pathologic process to the adjacent tissues in 43% of patients studied. Direct sagittal CT has improved spatial resolution over reformatted images. It is readily available, less costly than magnetic resonance and can provide similar useful anatomic information.
