Brain imaging. A. A 0.62 mm slice of the initial non-contrast CT-head. The first scan is performed on the day of admission showing multiple rounded hyperdensities in supra- and infratentorial regions. The largest lesion is in the in the left temporal lobe and measures 34 × 25 mm in the axial plane. Slight edema surrounds the lesions but has restricted local mass effect. The hyperdensities indicate hemorrhages, tentative diagnoses are metastases or cavernous malformations due to the scattered pattern. B. A 0.62 mm slice from the last non-contrast CT-head performed 30 days after initial scan, reconstructed approximately at the same plane and incline angle. It shows a significant decrease of the hyperdensities as well as a small lesion with loss of substance in the right putamen, both indicating partial resorption of hemorrhages. C. Coronal T2 weighted FLAIR image from the single MRI-head performed one day after admission. It shows the same scattered lesions both supra- and infratentorially in both hemispheres. The largest lesion is also seen in the left temporal lobe with centrally heterogeneous signal values suggestive of hematoma. D. Sagittal T1 weighted FLAIR image showing high signal in the border zone of the lesions further strengthening the suspicion of bleeding/hematomas. This and the subsequent MRI sequences were marred by movement artefacts and besides DWI no further sequences of diagnostic value could be made
