Abstract
Transmission CT studies of 40 patients with intracerebral hematomas were used for an analysis of the perihematoma region. Nineteen of these patients had radionuclide studies. In the brain adjacent to an intracerebral hematoma, the patterns of pertechnetate uptake on scintillation scans and contrast enhancement on transmission CT resemble those observed in cerebral infarctions. The healing of the perihematoma region proceeds similarly to that of infarcts. The brain about the hematoma is ischemic tissue which behaves much like cerebral infarction not related to hematomas.
