Summary
Comparison between computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in 17 patients with intracranial hematomas indicates a distinct role for NMR in evaluating the stable patient with hematoma. NMR is useful for delineating the extent of the hematoma, the relationship of the hematoma to brain anatomy, and the presence of hematoma at a time when the hematoma is isodense on CT.
