Diagnostic accuracy of cerebral angiography and computerized transaxial tomography.
Year: 1977

Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Computer tomography (CT) of the brain has become widely accepted as an accurate method of studying a variety of intracranial diseases. In a prospective controlled study one group of radiologists interpreted cerebral angiograms and another interpreted CT studies undertaken in the same patients. The overall rates of diagnostic accuracy were similar (81 and 84% for angiography and CT, respectively), albeit less than reported in the literature, and thus support the contention that CT scanning should be available as the initial neuroradiologic examination whenever possible.
