- “Acute traumatic intracranial abnormality was detected on axial scans in 45 patients. Subtle findings were confirmed on coronal and sagittal CT reformations in ten cases, and these were undetected initially on axial CT. Coronal and sagittal reformations confirmed subtle findings in 18.2% (10/55) of the cases (P = 0.001). Indeterminate neuroimaging findings confirmed by coronal and sagittal CT head reformations include tentorial and interhemispheric fissure subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and inferior frontal and temporal lobe contusions. Coronal and sagittal CT head reformations improve the sensitivity and diagnostic confidence in the clinical setting of acute trauma. Overall, coronal and sagittal reformations improved diagnostic confidence and interobserver agreement over axial images alone for visualization of normal structures and in the diagnosis of acute abnormality.”
