Computer tomography in the evaluation of subarachnoid hemorrhage
Abstract:
Repeat CT scanning and cerebral angiography has been performed in 68 consecutive patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Blood in the subarachnoid cisterns could be discerned in 27 of 32 patients provided the examination was performed within 2 days of the bleeding. The distribution of cisternal blood can be identified which, in combination with the localization of a possible intracerebral hematoma, yields a rather good predictability as to the site of the ruptured aneurysm. The subsequent angiography can thus be directed to the relevant vessel in most cases. Repeat CT scanning can replace angiography in the evaluation of patients with deterioration of the clinical condition.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
