Dear MDCT.net users,
Conventional neuroimaging has widely known limitations
and poor sensitivity in the study of brain pathophysiology, which have led to the development of
advanced imaging modalities able to rapidly detect subtle brain trauma, including diffuse axonal
injuries and intracranial hemorrhage. Cerebral MDCT angiography is particularly useful for
assessing traumatic intracranial vascular lesions. Furthermore, MDCT angiography is a reliable
neuroimaging tool for differentiating the various types of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage and
for diagnosing craniocerebral injuries.
The impact and high value of MDCT in this context are highlighted in the new Focus on by
Professor Ertl-Wagner and in the selection of recent publications on this issue. The e-book chapter
and the new clinical cases presented here also illustrate many examples of the use of MDCT in
neurotrauma and in neurosurgical emergencies.
We remind you that suggestions for new topics to be covered in future issues are
appreciated: for this purpose please contact us at
