Abstract:
Neuro-imaging is essential for the initial evaluation and subsequent control in the acute stage of severe head injury. In these indications tomodensitometry (TDM) has a pivotal role. Despite the well recognized contribution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to the investigation of most of acute neurological pathologies, MRI is not still a routine procedure for the initial investigation of patients with acute head injury. The superiority of morphological and functional MRI on TDM in this indication is discussed.
