Computer Assisted Tomography in the Diagnosis of Subdural Haematomas

  • Conference paper

It is well established that the attenuation coefficient of extravasated blood measures between 35 and 45 Hounsfield units (4); therefore no difficulty should be encountered in the recognition and diagnosis of subdural haematomas since the density of the brain parenchyma never measures more than 25 units.
