ABSTRACT

There is no doubt that the safest and earliest way to detect potentially severe head injuries is verifying, by computerized tomography (CT), the existence of clinically silent intracranial lesions (IL). However, because of the large number of patients, we need an optimized strategy for patients’ assistance that will deal with the risk of neurological complications in a small number of patients and the high cost of neuroimaging studies in all patients with an MHI.
