The image below shows a brain with a subdural hematoma.

1. What view of the brain are we looking at (how is it sliced)?  How do you know?

The image above is showing a horizontal sliced

2. Describe the location of the blood.  Be as specific as possible based on all information we’ve covered to date. Remember that this is subdural, so include a description of what that means.
3. Which lobes of the brain might be impacted by the hematoma? (You can’t be certain without looking at other levels.)
4. What other changes in anatomy are evident and why?
5. What are the possible functional impacts? (We’ve only discussed function broadly, so your answer can be broad.)

The next picture is an epidural hematoma.

6. What view of the brain are you looking at?  How do you know?

This view of the brain would be considered a coronal plane view. I know this because this divides the brain into front and back parts.

7. Describe the location of the blood.
