Explore the intricacies of head CT interpretation in this 35-minute video lecture from The Advanced EM Boot Camp Imaging Workshop. Delve into a comprehensive analysis of cranial anatomy, ventricular systems, and various types of intracranial hemorrhages. Learn to identify key structures such as the lambdoid suture, lateral ventricles, and cerebellar cisterns. Master the recognition of critical conditions including hydrocephalus, intracerebral hemorrhage, epidural and subdural hematomas, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Gain insights into the significance of midline shift, uncal herniation, and the "death star" sign. Understand the importance of proper windowing techniques and the limitations of CT scans in detecting subtle bleeds. Enhance your diagnostic skills to provide optimal care for patients with head injuries and neurological emergencies.
