Intracranial hematomas: imaging by high-field MR.

J M Gomori, R I Grossman, H I Goldberg

    Summary

    Magnetic resonance imaging reveals distinct intensity patterns in intracranial hematomas, allowing for staging into acute, subacute, and chronic phases based on age. These patterns aid in understanding hematoma evolution and associated brain changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Intracranial hematomas represent a significant clinical challenge.
    • Accurate characterization of hematoma age is crucial for patient management.
    • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers detailed insights into tissue properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the evolution of intracranial hematomas using MR imaging.
    • To establish MR imaging criteria for staging hematomas as acute, subacute, or chronic.
    • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of observed MR signal changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty intracranial hematomas of varying ages (1 day to over 1 year) were imaged.
    • T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo pulse sequences were employed at 1.5 T.
    • Characteristic signal intensity patterns were analyzed in relation to hematoma age.

    Main Results:

    • Acute hematomas (<1 week) showed central T2 hypointensity.
    • Subacute hematomas (1 week–1 month) exhibited peripheral T1 and T2 hyperintensity, progressing centrally.
    • Chronic hematomas (>1 month) demonstrated central hyperintensity on T2-WIs.
    • Adjacent brain tissue showed T2 hypointensity (subacute/chronic) and white matter T2 hyperintensity (acute/subacute, indicating edema).

    Conclusions:

    • MR imaging can reliably stage intracranial hematomas based on distinct signal intensity patterns.
    • Observed patterns suggest different pathophysiological mechanisms for each stage.
    • Two proposed mechanisms are dependent on the square of the magnetic field strength, implying potential for higher field strength imaging.
