Abstract:
Computed tomography(CT) is a new and innovative radiologic technique, the diagnostic value of which has been well established by many reports. On account of its rapidity and non-invasiveness, CT has become the diagnostic precedure of choice for the initial evaluation of head trauma patients. The authors have performed CT scan using EMI-5005 on 5 cases of subdural hematoma during the period of 8 months from October 1977 to May 1978 at the Department of Neurosurgery, Kyung Hee University Hospital. Various attenuation coefficients of hematoma such as hyperdense, hypodense, isodense and of mixed density were observed by the CT images. One case of isodensity hematoma were clearly identifiable by delayed enhancement technique, which had been confused by ordinary, noninfused method.
