A clinical study comparing the relative sensitivities of computed tomography, skull radiography, and radionuclide scanning in the detection of skull metastases indicated that CT was the least sensitive of these three modalities. CT could however detect a majority of lesions if scans were viewed at appropriate window settings. Phantom studies showed that the limitations of CT can be related to limited spatial resolution, the density of the lesions, partial volume averaging, and plane of section.
