InfraScanner 2000™
All patients entered onto the trial will undergo at least one cranial scanning using the InfraScanner 2000™ within 30 minutes of CT. Patients will be scanned using the InfraScanner 2000™ within 30 minutes of each subsequent CT. Patients will know the results of the CT but not the InfraScanner 2000™. The standard for comparison will be determined as follows. A CT result that is positive for hematoma will be considered a true positive and a CT result that is negative for hematoma will be considered a true negative. In cases where the results of the CT are negative for hematoma and the results of the InfraScanner 2000™ are positive consideration of further follow-up will be given on a case-by-case basis.
InfraScanner 2000™: The Infrascanner is a portable screening device that uses Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to screen patients for intracranial bleeding, identifying those who would most benefit from immediate referral to a CT scan and neurosurgical intervention.
