Traumatic injury to the brain and head has several manifestations, including primary brain parenchymal injuries, secondary brain injury, extra-axial hemorrhage, and vascular injury. In this chapter, we review the mechanisms and imaging appearance of traumatic brain injury on CT, MRI, and cerebrovascular imaging. We also discuss the role of advanced imaging techniques in the investigation of brain trauma.

摘要

Traumatic injury to the brain and head has several manifestations, including primary brain parenchymal injuries, secondary brain injury, extra-axial hemorrhage, and vascular injury. In this chapter, we review the mechanisms and imaging appearance of traumatic brain injury on CT, MRI, and cerebrovascular imaging. We also discuss the role of advanced imaging techniques in the investigation of brain trauma.
