Abstract
The imaging of subdural hematoma has evolved significantly. Computed tomography and MRI have supplanted other procedures and rendered most obsolete for the evaluation of intracranial pathology because of ease of use, tremendous soft tissue resolution, safety, and availability. Noncontrast computed tomography has become the accepted standard of care for the initial evaluation of patients with suspected subdural hematoma because of widespread availability, rapid acquisition time, and noninvasive nature. MRI offers important features in determining potential secondary causes of subdural hematoma, such as dural-based neoplasms.Entities:
