title: [Roentgenologic diagnosis of cerebral concussion].
abstract: The article presents the findings of computer-aided tomography in 6 patients with brain concussion. In 27% of the cases the symptom-complex was accompanied by the development of brain plethora or hydrocephalus which was reflected in changes in the cerebral and densitometry characteristics. The objective nature of such changes was confirmed by the factorial analysis of the computer-aided tomographic and clinical symptoms as well as the presence of correlation between them. The authors has devised a linear regression model of the expected mean roentgen density of the white matter with regard to the degree of its atrophy. It has been shown that computer-aided tomography provides the possibility of identifying the pathological changes that develop following a mild craniocerebral injury and of predicting the outcome of their pathogenetic therapy.
