The aim of our pilot study was to compare the performance of the RS-MRI protocol combined with skull radiography versus CT for the detection of skull fractures, scalp hematomas, and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with abusive head trauma (AHT). Additionally, our study aimed to determine whether the presence of scalp hematoma predicts concurrent skull fracture.
