Abstract

Computed tomography is one of the most commonly used imaging equipment for CNS diseases. In the last decades, the development of multidetector CT can effectively reduce the beam hardening artifact and metallic artifact. Novels of CT techniques would contribute to the achievements of neuroradiology.
