Differences Between Subdural and Epidural Hematomas

  first define the term "subdural hematoma " as it is the most common of the two types of hematoma . Subdural hematomas are essentially a pooling or collection of blood between the dura (the brain's protective covering, or outer layer) and a part of the meningies known as the arachnoid. What this means is that blood is pooling and then settling on the brain's fragile tissue. Depending on the severity of the bleed and the pressure, this can be extremely serious and even life threatening. Typically, subdural hematomas are caused by head trauma of some kind like a car accident or violent movement like a shaken baby would...

Subdural Haematoma Surgery Video

A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common neurosurgical disorder that often requires surgical intervention. It is a type of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs beneath the dura (essentially, a collection of blood over the surface of the brain) and may be associated with other brain injuries. A left-sided acute subdural hematoma (SDH). Note the high signal intensity of acute blood and the (mild) midline shift of the ventricles. A left-sided chronic subdural hematoma (SDH). Note the effacement of the left lateral ventricle.  subdural hematoma evac burr holes   ==================== JOIN OUR PAGE IN FACEBOOK...

Abdominal and Pelvic CT

 CT scanning: sometimes called CAT scanning is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians  to diagnose and treat medical diseases CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. These cross-sectional images of the area being studied can then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or transferred to a CD. CT scans of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular x-ray exams.  The video will describe anatomical structures as seen on a CT Scan3D abdominal...

Computed Tomography CT video

CT Is important methods of radiology in making diadnosis of many disease so we must take some data about the CT.follow us in this department and we promise that you will be good radiologist In a conventional x-ray structures are superimposed on top of one another, making it difficult to get a clear picture. Computed tomography, or CT scans take a picture of a single cross-section of the body, giving radiologists an unobstructed view of every organ, bone and soft-tissue. CT uses pencil-point x-ray beams from a rotating doughnut surrounding the patient's body. Detectors pick up the signals which vary in strength after they pass through human tissue. The detectors then send this information to a computer, which creates a picture of a single slice of the human body. A picture that...

How the MRI works

The majority of Medical student and some Doctors conflict about MRI so we want to give some data about MRI and videos to give some knowlege Unlike conventional x-ray examinations and computed tomography (CT) scans, MRI does not depend on ionizing radiation. Instead, while in the magnet, radio waves redirect the axes of spinning protons, which are the nuclei of hydrogen atoms, in a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field is produced by passing an electric current through wire coils in most MRI units. Other coils, located in the machine and in some cases, placed around the part of the body being imaged, send and receive radio waves,...

Anatomt of Brain Video

Here  we will give you a small hint about Brain anatomy by video so we will give you introduction befor video The anatomy of the brain is complex due its complex structure and function. This  organ acts as a control center by receiving, interpreting, and directing sensory information throughout the body. There are three major divisions of the brain. They are the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain  Now you can see the video 3D MRI Human Brain AnatomyThis is a technique we developed called deep rendering in an effort to create an application that would allow users to explore the interior of the human...
