CT Density 68.6 HU(Hounsfield Units)
Acute Intracerebral hematoma:
Acute hematoma is seen by non-contrast imaging as an area of high densitywith density numbers ranging from 40 to 90HU.
CT can detect acute intracerebral blood as small as 2mm, due to contrastbetween high-density of blood and low-density of surrounding brain
(arrows).

Acute subdural hematoma covering theright cerebral hemisphere (arrows), moreprominent posteriorly.
CT density of blood is 74HU consistentwith acute blood. Patient with history ofrecent fall.
8.2 Non-contrast CT Brain
Acute Subdural Hematoma:
Subdural hematoma is located between thelayers of dura and arachnoid mater, coveringthe cerebral hemispheres whereasintracerebral hematoma is localized within
the brain substance.
Acute subdural hematoma is recognized byCT as an area of peripheral zone of crescenticshaped increased density, outside the surfaceof the brain (arrows).
Most subdural hematoma is caused by tear ofbridging cortical veins.
Acute subdural hematoma can evolve over aperiod of time and thus classified as acute,subacute and chronic hematoma.
Acute Subdural Hematoma : Up to 7 day old
High CT density (40-90HU)
Subacute Subdural Hematoma (7 to 21 days old)
The CT density of acute blood graduallydecreases and becomes isodense with
adjacent brain, thus less readily visible andcan be easily overlooked.

Chronic Subdural Hematoma:Over 21 days old: Acute blood as it evolves, it undergoes liquefaction, and also mixes withcerebrospinal fluid from adjacent subarachnoid space, thus converting into a serosanguineousfluid. This fluid has low CT density reaching close or similar to cerebrospinal fluid. Slowmovement of subarachnoid fluid into the subdural hematoma can give rise to gradualexpansion of subdural hematoma that can exert mass effect upon the adjacent brain with orwithout brain edema. This can produce herniation of the brain resulting in suddendecompensation of the patient leading to coma.
Thus even a chronic subdural hematoma mi ht need an emer ent neurosur ical intervention.
