Abstract

PURPOSE: Timely identification of intracranial blood products is clinically impactful, however the detection of subdural hematoma (SDH) on non-contrast CT scans of the head (NCCTH) is challenging given interference from the adjacent calvarium. This work explores the utility of a NCCTH bone removal algorithm for improving SDH detection.
