Focuses on clinical evidence which indentify all patients who may have intracranial lesions following a mild head injury while focusing on the role of cranial computed tomography (CT) to indentify these patients. Information on CT ...
To the Editor: Dr Smits and colleagues1 generated independently derived data on the performance of both the New Orleans Criteria (NOC) and the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) for the use of computed tomography (CT) in patients with minor head injury. Although it is reassuring that both rules ...
Risk/benefit ratios support the use of CT scans for evaluating moderate or severe head trauma, but not for minor head trauma. The study used an algorithm to select children with minor head trauma for follow-up with CT to diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI). Criteria include whether or not...
The main purpose of a trauma head CT scan is to detect bleeding inside the head with or without brain swelling. In this chapter the basic classification of hematomas on CT scan is described as well as how to recognize them. The magnificence of the brain unfolds as you go on an odyssey ...
Is a portable screening device that uses Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to screen patients for intracranial bleeding, identifying those who would most benefit from immediate referral to a CT scan and neurosurgical intervention.

CT scan data in assessing the effects of a possible mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Ten scenarios depicting an MTBI from a motor vehicle accident were presented to community volunteer participants. Case scenarios differed with regard to diagnostic information presented (i.e., all combinations ...
Since brain damage in closed head injury of acceleration-deceleration type depends on the site of impact and on the course of the traumatising force, a reconstruction of these was attempted using CT. The study included 45 standard CT studies of adults with closed acceleration-deceleration head i...
CT scanautopsyComputed tomography (CT) is now the primary diagnostic method for head trauma because of its ability to demonstrate the nature, extent, sites, and multiplicity of brain injuries. Although there have been numerous reports on the CT findings of most types of intracranial injury, the ...
