ABSTRACT
Head trauma is a major public health concern throughout the world, and is the most serious of all health problems facing developed countries. [1] In this new era of radiology, computed tomography scan has become the basic primary modality of choice for the initial assessment of head injury patients. It is also easily available, faster and highly accurate in detecting skull fractures and acute intracranial hemorrhage. [2] A prospective study was conducted based on convenience sampling at Department of Radiology, Ankur Matrika Hospital, Jammu, among 50 patients who were all referred for NCCT head investigation. The study was performed to determine the clinical findings, type of fracture and site of fracture. The study concluded that NCCT head investigation is the best primarily modality for patients with history of traumatic brain injury.
