Those patients with moderate or severe cerebral atrophy had a poorer short-term prognosis than those with questionable or mild atrophy.

متن کاملComputerized Tomography
Tomography refers to the synthesis of sectional images or slices from external measurements of a spatially varying function. Line integrals are the most common external measures, which are also known as projections. Availability of multiple projections at diierent orientations allows accurate recovery of the originating function. Because practical implementation of tomography typically requires...
متن کاملComputerized tomography of two patients with morning glory syndrome.
Morning glory syndrome (MGS), an uncommon optic disc anomaly, is characterized by a funnel-shaped, excavated optic disc surrounded by chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance. Generally, it is an isolated ocular abnormality. The authors describe two patients in whom MGS developed in association with brain abnormalities. In both cases, there was enlargement of the optic nerve that showed increased r...
