Abstract
The AA. discuss the usefulness of brain scans in the diagnosis of head injuries. Brain scans have been carried out on 91 patients, 51 scans with Neohydrin-Hg203 and 40 with Technetium 99m. The method is very useful for head injuries with subacute or chronic brain damage, but the minimal time for the examination (1 hour after the injection of Technetium 99m) is often too long for the diagnosis of acute lesions. 13 subdural haematomas out of 14, one intracerebral haematoma and 12 brain contusions out of 13 were correctly localized. Subdural haematomas are so clearly recognisable, that in a large percentage of cases it is possible to operate on without further neuroradiological investigations.
