NODA GUERRA, Manuel Ernesto et al. Resonancia magnética de imágenes Giroimag-01: diagnóstico de lesiones del Sistema Nervioso Central. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2001, vol.20, n.2, pp. 122-127. ISSN 1561-3011.

A study was made to compare the positivity of magnetic resonance imaging with that of other imaging and neurophysiological diagnostic tools in injuries of the central nervous system in order to determine the sensitivity, specificity, strength and the test error with the GIROIMAG-01 Cuban tomograph in the diagnostic of these injuries. An intentional sample of 398 patients was selected. Only those patients who had undergone computed axial tomography, electroencephalogram or evoked multimodal potentials or both, whose results were registered in the study requests, could be selected. The most representrative injuries among the diagnoses made were the degenerative diseases, the brain and cerebellar tumors, the cerebrovascular accidents, the demyelinizating diseases and hydrocephalies. It was demonstrated that this tomograph has an elevated sensitivity and specificity for the detection of injuries of the central nervous system
