Abstract
Chapter 2 presents clinical characteristics of the examined patients and neuroimaging methods. There were studied 208 patients in the acute, subacute, and delayed periods of brain trauma by generally accepted clinical and neuroimaging methods such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, also advanced MRI sequences and perfusion computed tomography. The majority of patients were in coma. Clinical and morphological diagnosis was based on the whole complex of data about mechanisms of injury, neurological symptoms, CT and MRI findings, and dynamics of the clinical course. Chapter 2 includes CT perfusion and diffusion-tensor MRI protocols, which were used in these investigations.
