Table 2. Comparison of the number of patients with traumatic brain lesions demonstrated on routine images and on the combination of routine images and contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image.
| T2+T1+GRE+FLAIR+ | Plus contrast-enhanced FLAIR | |
| Contrast-enhanced T1WI | ||
| 1) Patient with TBI (n/54) * | 25 | 28 |
| EH | 0 | 0 |
| SAH/IVH | 13 | 14 |
| SDH | 22 | 24 |
| Brain contusion/intraparenchymal hemorrhage | 9 | 9 |
| DAI | 3 | 3 |
| pā=ā0.250 | ||
| 1) + Patient with only meningeal enhancement on contrast-enhanced FLAIR (n/54) * | 25+0 | 28+9 |
| p<0.001 | ||
*Number of patients with traumatic brain lesions among a total of 54 patients.
Note ā TBI indicates traumatic brain injury; EH, epidural hemorrhage; SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage; IVH, intraventricular hemorrhage; SDH, subdural hemorrhage; DAI, diffuse axonal injury.
