Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze Image A
Image A shows a crescent-shaped hyperdense collection along the inner table of the skull. This is a classic appearance of a subdural hematoma.
Step 2: Analyze Image B
Image B shows a different axial slice with similar findings further confirming the presence of a subdural hematoma.
Step 3: Eliminate other options
Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine and would not be visible on a head CT. A hematoma is a general term for a collection of blood outside of blood vessels. While a subdural hematoma is a type of hematoma, the image specifically shows a subdural hematoma, making this the most accurate answer.
