Abstract

Methodology: It was a cross sectional Analytical study conducted at Department of Radiology AL RAZI HOSPITAL MM ALAM LAHORE. From 1st July 2019 to 31st December 2019.The 172 subjects were selected of history and clinical examination and suspicion of head injuries requiring head CT scan evaluation. Subjects included both male and female gender age over 10 years and less than 70 years were selected. Contraindication to CT imaging and pregnant females were excluded. Patients were examined using 64 Slices dual source SIMENS CT machine. All the information of patient were noted on a specifically designed for this purpose.

Results: Mean age of patient was 36.87± 13.02 years. Most frequent age group was 15-30 years having 75(42.8%) subjects. There were 125(71.4%) male and 50(28.5%) females in the study respectively. There were 126 true positive, 12 false positive, 11 false negative and 17 true negative cases. This study revealed computed tomography sensitivity (72%) specificity (94%) diagnostic accuracy is (97.1%), Positive predictive value is (97.98%) and negative predictive value is (71.69%).

Conclusions: It was concluded that Computed tomography is a useful diagnostic tool after clinical evaluation in patients imaging for the diagnosis of subdural and epidural hematomas in patients of road traffic accident.
