In summary, the radiologist plays a critical role in the diagnosis of acute neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain and spinal injuries, intracranial hemorrhage, and acute ischemia/infarction, which may require emergent therapy. CT is the imaging modality of choice in such conditions and may serve to direct appropriate subsequent studies. The radiologist must be aware of the variable clinical presentations of many of these entities, and he or she must be familiar with and diligent in his or her search for the early, and often subtle imaging findings of these often life-threatening conditions.
总之，放射科医生在急性神经系统疾病的诊断中起着关键作用，如创伤性脑损伤和脊髓损伤、颅内出血以及急性缺血/梗死，这些疾病可能需要紧急治疗。CT是这些情况下的首选成像方式，可用于指导后续适当的检查。放射科医生必须了解这些疾病中许多疾病的不同临床表现，并且必须熟悉并勤勉地寻找这些往往危及生命的疾病的早期且常常细微的影像学表现。
