## Overview[edit | edit source]

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of subdural hematoma includes crescent shape hyperintense hematoma , which starts to become isointense in comparison to brain gray matter as it ages. It may cross falx cerebri and cause midline shift.
