Summary

Abnormal contrast enhancement was seen in 196 (39.8%) of 492 CT scans performed on patients for evaluation of head trauma. It proved most helpful in the diagnosis of isodense subdural hematomas and contusions. The advantages of contrast-enhanced CT scans in the evaluation of head trauma more than compensate for the additional time in performing the examination.
