The PC technique is also helpful if there is a large amount of hematoma present as high signal from hematoma can interfere with the TOF images and obscure subtle pathology. e. 4. g.

Reconstruction in multiple planes can be produced and viewed through 360o. Other reconstruction techniques, such as multiple projection reconstruction and volume-rendered or endoluminal views, may be helpful in assessing complex vascular anatomy.
CT is superior to MRI in the visualization of calcification, bone detail and acute hemorrhage. The CT appearances of hematoma are well recognized in the acute phase, being of higher attenuation than the adjacent brain. In hyperacute hematoma, areas of low density may be seen consistent with active bleeding before a clot has formed. 1). This typical evolution of hematoma can be altered by clotting disorder, anticoagulation, low haemocrit and anemia, when the acute hematoma can be isodense with brain in 50% of cases [5].
EMG responses have been classified as either spontaneous or evoked. Spontaneous activity is common with the onset of monitoring, generally characterized by low-amplitude, low-density unit potentials presenting as steady trains or small repetitive bursts. Evoked responses, which are more common, are further subdivided into three patterns. “Pulse patterns” result from purposeful stimulation of the facial nerve with the stimulating probe and have a frequency identical to that generated by the stimulator.
