Popis: The results of brain scanning in a series of 97 children are reported. Brain scanning would seem to be a safe, accurate diagnostic screening procedure for suspected intracranial neoplasms. The higher frequency of infratentorial neoplasms in children limits its usefulness as a definitive diagnostic procedure. With the exception of space occupying lesions, the value of scanning in nonneoplastic lesions such as brain abscesses or arteriovenous malformations has not been well established.
