Abstract
AJR 2000;175:1370 0361–803X/00/1755–1370 © American Roentgen Ray Society Comment. In the mid 1970s, radiology was revolutionized by the introduction of CT. In this 1976 article, Merino-de-Villasante and Taveras reviewed 100 cases in which CT had been used to evaluate trauma of the head. These researchers concluded that, in most cases, CT replaced angiography and skull radiography as the primary neuroimaging technique for evaluating trauma. Looking back at the quality of these images, it is clear how early in the revolution it was. Fig. 1.—Epidural hematomas in three patients. A–C, CT scans reveal epidural hematomas in 10-year-old (A), 43-year-old (B), and 31-year-old (C) patients.
