Abstract:Background and purposeThe underlying basis of the blend sign on brain computed tomography (CT) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. Few studies have examined the morphological alterations in the CT blend sign in ICH. Therefore, we assessed changes in the CT blend sign and their association with hematoma expansion (HE) and adverse outcomes in ICH patients.MethodsWe recorded the clinical and radiographic parameters of patients with ICH and blend sign on brain CT. The patients were categori… Show more
