Size-Related Differences in Computed Tomography Markers of Hematoma Expansion in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers for hematoma expansion (HE) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are difficult to be found in small ICHs, of which can also expand. We aimed to investigate whether t...
