Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CT is the best imaging modality to demonstrate recent bleeding within the brain because CT scans are more sensitive to acute bleeds and can rapidly identify active hemorrhage. MRI may also demonstrate acute bleeds, but it may not be as readily available as a CT scan in emergency situations. Nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and conventional radiography are not typically used for detecting acute bleeds within the brain.
