Abstract
Background: Head trauma affects thousands of people every year. Neuroimaging techniques provide some of the most important diagnostic, prognostic, and pathophysiological information in the management of brain injury Methods: 100 cases of acute TBI with positive CT scan findings were selected randomly during a period of 6 months from 25/9/15 to 25/3/16 and studied retrospectively. Results: Out of the 100 patients, 62 had positive CT scans.All patients with positive CT scan had one or more of findings: headache, vomiting, age over 60 years, drug or alcohol intoxication, deficits in short term memory, physical evidence of trauma and seizures.
