Determination of formation age of acute traumatic intracranial subdural hematomas using computed tomography

Computed tomography is one of the leading methods of neurovisualization. A number of issues remain unclear, especially regarding the use of computed tomography results in forensic practice, despite the long existence of this method. The formation age of traumatic intracranial subdural hematomas (TISDHs) is one of such issues. The article presents the results of own study on the possibilities of age determination of acute TISDHs using the data of a head computed tomography. The authors concluded that the investigation of this issue is promising, identified certain parameters of TISDHs that should be considered when determining the age of TISHDs in acute period.
