====== Traumatic intraparenchymal hemorrhage computed tomography ======

Cerebral cortical [[contusion]]s are one of the most common [[computed tomography]] (CT) findings in [[head injury]]

[[Perfusion computed tomography]] is a useful, fast, and appropriate method in evaluating perfusion of pericontusional hypodensity area that may help the treating physician to provide appropriate treatment to the patient

)).

The development of brain CT allowed improvements in the diagnosis and characterization of [[traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage]], and the traumatic brain injury field is being further revolutionized by the development and refinement of brain MRI.

Traumatic intracerebral hemorrhages frequently coexist with extracerebral hemorrhages. Frequently, clinical manifestations of traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage depend on the severity of the traumatic brain injury.
