Neuroimaging

There is so much emphasis on the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging in the literature these days that high-resolution computed tomography often appears to suffer deprecation by comparative neglect. This is the personal opinion of one of us (J.L.S.). It therefore seemed appropriate to put two heads together, and the following is presented to help the clinician who at times now faces a dilemma as whether to order a computed tomographic scan or a magnetic resonance scan. It is hoped that the table will help the clinician.
