How to read a brain CT?

This package contains the slides from the video presentation "How to Read a Brain CT", available in three PDF formats:

These are the slides from my video "How to Read a Brain CT". This talk is designed for radiology residents, emergency physicians, and anyone who wants a solid, structured approach to interpreting brain CT scans. We start with the basic physics, windowing techniques, and Hounsfield units, then move into detailed anatomy and a systematic checklist for pathology. The talk includes practical tips on identifying stroke, hemorrhage, herniation, hydrocephalus, and more. A special section covers typical CT artifacts and how to recognize them.

Whether you’re preparing for exams or refreshing your skills on call—this presentation has you covered.
