Overview
Other diagnostic studies for subdural empyema include cranial ultrasonography and radionuclide imaging. However, both of these studies are considered significantly inferior to MRI and CT scan.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Cranial Ultrasonography
Cranial ultrasonography is usually the first imaging mode to be ordered in infants because it is safe, cost-effective, and usually differentiates subdural empyema from anechoic reactive subdural effusion.[1]
Radionuclide Scan
Radionuclide imaging has been used in certain situations to aid in the diagnosis of subdural empyema, however it remains largely inferior to MRI and CT scans.[2]
Angiography
Angiography has been used in certain situations to aid in the diagnosis of subdural empyema, however it remains largely inferior to MRI and CT scans.[2]
