title: Detection of subarachnoid blood clot and other thin, flat structures by computed tomography.
abstract: Eight cases of subarachnoid hemorrhages are reported to illustrate the ability of CT to demonstrate thin, flat collections of subarachnoid blood clots and the importance of CT in localization of the bleeding site, especially in cases of multiple aneurysms. The major factors in the detection of these lesions are discussed on the basis of partial volume phenomenon.
